The Legacy
165 Kimta Rd, VW Songhees
Located on Victoria’s world famous Inner Harbour, The Legacy is one of the premier properties on southern Vancouver Island. Bright and spacious units face one of the most beautiful vistas in the world with the busy harbour and Strait of Juan de Fuca providing a base for the majesty of the Olympic Mountains.
Inside, suites at The Legacy boast granite countertops, gas fireplaces, and dozens of unique details. A well equipped gym, secure parking and the gorgeous Roman stairs leading to the building give The Legacy a sense of European luxury and modern convenience.
Completed in 2000, The Legacy offers residents every lifestyle option open to Victorians. Several marinas are nearby, each accessible by foot or by one of the many water taxies plying the Inner Harbour. A wooden footpath winds around the Inner Harbour providing easy access to the Galloping Goose regional walking and biking trails.
Across the Johnson Street bridge in Downtown lies the diverse and modern Vic West subarea. The community is growing rapidly, especially in areas adjacent to the waterfront. Accessible shoreline and waterfront walkways extend around its coast, wrapping around industrial shipyards and connecting numerous parks and the Vic West Community Centre in Craigflower Village. The Galloping Goose rail trail is a busy pathway for recreation and commuting from the city centre through Vic West to areas to the north over Portage Inlet.
Parks
Much of the South shoreline is lined with well groomed public waterfront walkways, including the Songhees Walkway. The east shore has the Galloping Goose Regional Trail and Point Ellice Park heading towards the Selkirk Trestle. Banfield Park contains areas for active recreation, passive experiences and nature conservation. Vic West Park includes the City’s only skate park, an enclosed off-leash dog area, a baseball diamond and playground equipment.
