Gordon Head is a neighbourhood in the Greater Victoria municipality of Saanich, located on a headland of the same name. Converted from an area of small farms and greenhouses into a residential area after the construction of the University of Victoria, part of which lies in the neighbourhood. Originally developed as a comfortable, middle class neighbourhood. More recently, homes in the Gordon Head area closer to the University of Victoria have been undergoing a slow but consistent conversion process from single family occupancy to shared rental homes to meet the demands of the local student population. Located east of Shelbourne Street, north of McKenzie Avenue, and west of Finnerty Rd., and bounded to the north and east by Haro Strait into which juts the landform from which the neighbourhood derives its name. Lately, there has been some very upscale housing developed at the very tip of Gordon Head called Gordon Point near the north waterfront.
