I have sold a property at 202 190 Gorge Rd W in Saanich on Jul 8, 2025. &lt;a href="https://ankevenema.realtor/mylistings.html/listing.1000232-202-190-w-gorge-rd-saanich-v9a-1m4.105734595"&gt;See details here&lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
&lt;p&gt;&#xD;
Great location on the Gorge with little tiny glimpses of the water from the balcony looking across the beautiful community gardens. This lovely 55+ home has new flooring throughout, new paint and a renovated bathroom. It is very cozy and move-in ready. There is also bus service right out in front of the building, a supermarket a short walk away and lots of other places to walk to just across the street near the water including the Japanese Gardens in the Esquimalt Gorge Park and Pavilion. A very pleasant and quiet place to live! The Seller tells me that the people in this strata are very friendly and welcoming. Roof was replaced last year, so you don't have to worry about that.  Most of the furniture is included except the living room rug, sunroom rug, the coffee table and the dining room table and chairs.&#xD;
