Kelowna Area Property Options And Listings
by M Walker
The area around Kelowna, British Columbia is one of the fastest growing communities in all of North America, with many people of retirement age choosing the relatively mild climate in the Okanagan Valley over some of the colder areas of the province. The growth in population has made it difficult to keep up with the demand for Kelowna real estate.
There is a hearty market for homes in the area, thanks to the growth of population. Inventory of listings is not large, particularly in the recent time frame. There are new residents coming into the city who want to live in comfortable and aesthetically appealing Kelowna homes. They want to find the top-rated neighborhoods in the city to call home. The city is spread out over a larger geographical area than most communities of a similar population level. The result is mixed neighborhoods and commute times which can be lengthy.
There are major sectors in the city, each of which contains multiple neighborhoods. The population has been estimated at more than 120K but the demographers say that the rapid change in the population may mean that the numbers are too low. The population is boosted by the number of tourists who enjoy visiting the beautiful area surrounding Okanagan Lake.

Winter sports activities include alpine and cross country skiing at the Silver Star and Big White ski resorts.
