About The Woodlands

The Woodlands apartment block was completed in 2025. It provides accommodation for independent residents aged 55+ and has studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments available.

All suites include a full kitchen, in-suite storage, and either a balcony or patio. The Woodlands also offers storage lockers on each floor for tenants that do not have in-suite storage as well as bike and scooter storage and charging stations.

Suites on the back of the apartment overlook Garry Oak woods and meadows, home to a family of deer. The front has wonderful views of Mt. Tolmie and the Olympic range to the south. Woodlands' residents are welcome to attend a range of social and recreational programmes offered in The Cedars.

Rent includes:

Hot and cold water
Laundry room on each floor
Reduced rates on meals at The Cedars dining room
85 units of mixed subsidized and market rents

People looking for subsidized units will require an active BC Housing file number. It will take several months for a file number to become active after applying.

DAWSON HEIGHTS is a wonderful community of friendly people, living in beautiful grounds like a little village! Many years ago, my parents lived on the same site, so for me, I’ve come home again!

I enjoy looking out the windows and seeing the green world; particularly the Garry oak trees. I’m very fortunate to be here.

This (Dawson Heights) has been my home for twelve years. Thanks to the wonderful, warm and caring administration and staff it really is a home I can take pride and joy in.

I am grateful to you all every day.
