Langford is the fastest-growing city in Greater Victoria and one of the fastest-growing in BC, driven by affordability relative to Victoria's core and rapid new construction development around Langford Lake, Bear Mountain, and the Westshore. Langford City Centre and Westshore Town Centre have transformed the municipality into a self-contained urban hub with Costco, Save-On, major retail, and extensive transit connections to Victoria. Westshore Credit Union (now part of Vancity) and Island Savings Credit Union both have Langford presence. The city's active new construction market means a significant proportion of first-time buyers can access the $835,000000 new home PTT exemption.
