When evaluating a property, the surrounding amenities often matter just as much as the home itself. Access to schools, green space, and daily conveniences can significantly affect both lifestyle and long-term value.
In many parts of Kelowna, elementary and secondary schools are embedded within established neighbourhoods, reducing commute times for families. Areas near North Glenmore Elementary, for example, are popular with parents, while proximity to parks like Knox Mountain adds appeal for outdoor enthusiasts. Grocery options vary by area, with stores such as Save-On-Foods, Choices Market, and local markets anchoring many communities.
Buyers should also consider walkability, transit access, and future development plans. A quiet street today may see increased traffic tomorrow if nearby growth is planned.
For those unfamiliar with the city, mapping tools provide a starting point, but local insight fills in the gaps — such as which school catchments are most sought after or where new amenities are planned. Anthony Shephard of 2% Realty, a lifelong Kelowna resident, regularly helps buyers assess how a location fits their day-to-day needs and future plans.
