As one of the Western Communities or West Shore municipalities outside Victoria, Highlands has a population of 1,674. The region stretches along the Strait of Juan de Fuca shoreline from Esquimalt Harbour to Rocky Point. One of the more remote and undeveloped areas of the Capital Regional District, it is one of its newest municipalities, having for many years been an unorganized area under provincial jurisdiction. Although the area is seen as a target for residential expansion of the Greater Victoria region, it remains best known for lakes, hills, and wilderness. It is home to many parks, notably large portions of Gowlland Tod Provincial Park and Mount Work Regional Park. These parks protect Douglas fir habitat, old-growth forest, wildflowers, arbutus and manzanita. Neighbourhoods
