Rising up from the Departure Bay ferry terminal waterfront, the Brechin Hill neighbourhood is a mix of character homes – from California bungalows to West Coast style – with large windows and decks that maximize views of the bay and Newcastle Island. At the bottom of the steep roads are sailboats moored at numerous marinas.

Residents enjoy walking and biking along the harbourfront walkway that runs from the foot of Brechin Hill along Stewart Avenue to the adjacent downtown core. That stretch is a busy hub for float planes, ferries, fishing boats and kayaks. Schools, parks and shopping centres line the top of the hill in this neighbourhood.
