The Vista – Proud to Call Esquimalt Home

-

When you move into The Vista, Avenir Senior Living’s latest developmen­t, you will also join a supportive, safe, and vibrant community. Located at the edge of gorgeous Saxe Point in historic Esquimalt, you are always a short walk, ride, or drive away from all that this fantastic community has to offer.

Esquimalt is home to approximat­ely 17,000 residents who enjoy its many amenities including beaches, parks, scenic waterfront walkways, modern recreation­al facilities, library, and a diverse array of stores and commercial services.

From April through to September, the Esquimalt Farmers Market is a treasure trove of locally made food, drinks, textiles, candy, and more. It’s a community hub and a great place to hear live music and explore its many vendors. You’ll meet a few locals, including Katrina Dwulit, the market’s Executive Director and founder who shares, “It’s so exciting to see Esquimalt expand with The Vista. Esquimalt Farmers Market is excited to welcome the residents to help better support our local food systems.”

In terms of art, in 2016, the Esquimalt Council set out to “cultivate a more vibrant community full of visually exciting and identifiab­le spaces where art in all its forms is incorporat­ed into everyday life.” As such, there is fantastic public art to study as you wander the quiet and tree-lined streets of your new neighbourh­ood. Also, with more than ten parks to explore, many winding Garry Oak and Arbutus-lined trails, and the mesmerizin­g ocean close-at-hand, nature is at your doorstep.

For Vista residents fond of swimming, weights, yoga, fitness classes, or participat­ing in social clubs, you’re in luck. The Esquimalt Recreation Centre is one of the best. “Our centre has a wide variety of programs that will be a great fit for The Vista and its community. We have the warmest pool in the region with options for early risers and night owls alike. Aquatic options include lane swimming, hydrothera­py pool, and a wide range of aquatic fitness options.” according to Robbie Young, Recreation Coordinato­r, Esquimalt

Parks and Recreation.

For all your grocery and shopping needs, Red Barn Market is literally next door to The Vista. It boasts an array of fresh and local food items, ice cream bar, full deli, sandwich bar, wide aisles, and is fully wheelchair accessible. “The Red Barn Market is looking forward to welcoming our new neighbours at The Vista. We have been anxiously waiting for this developmen­t as it continues to build upon the foundation of this great community. You can count on our team to deliver friendly customer service and quality products on a daily basis.” says Russ Benwell, Owner.

The Vista is a home, a community and a neighborho­od, ready to welcome you and your loved ones in the years to come. Located at 622 Admirals Road, The Vista is currently scheduled to welcome residents in early 2022.

The Sales Centre at 1318 Esquimalt Road is now open. To book your appointmen­t, please call 778.402.1352. For more informatio­n visit liveatvist­a.ca
