Kelowna neighbourhoods: the areas I work, on one map

Seventeen areas across Kelowna, West Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country, each with its own guide. Hover or tap a shape to find it, then open the guide to read what I’d tell you about buying or selling there. Fifteen of the guides live here with ten years of sales data under them; Upper Mission and Kettle Valley have theirs on my neighbourhood site. The outlines are approximate on purpose. The guides are not.

Municipal outlines and lakes are the legal boundaries. Neighbourhoods are drawn to the roads and creeks locals use as their edges, approximately and on purpose. Darker shapes have a guide and open it; the lighter ones are the rest of the city, named so you can place yourself, without a guide yet.

Kelowna neighbourhoods

  1. Wilden The hillside community I know best. Newer homes, views that set the price, and a median that doubled in ten years. $1,535,000median, 2026 so far +101%ten years
  2. North Glenmore The value entry to the Glenmore hills, priced below the ridge above it and below the region, with the City's next growth frontier on its doorstep. $836,500median, 2026 so far +64%ten years
  3. University District The neighbourhood UBC Okanagan built. Mostly condos and rentals, so I read it the way I read my own investments. $990,000median, 2026 so far +58%ten years
  4. Glenmore The valley floor north of downtown. It sells at the market's own median almost every year, and it has the city's oldest golf club and its French immersion school. $934,000median, 2026 so far +64%ten years
  5. Dilworth Mountain The hill in the middle of the city. Built out, a premium for location rather than newness, and plenty of Poly-B era stock to check. $1,230,000median, 2026 so far +73%ten years
  6. Kelowna North Downtown, the North End and Knox Mountain. The towers are the story; the detached market is a few dozen houses a year, priced by what a builder can put on the lot. $865,000median, 2026 so far +84%ten years
  7. Kelowna South Pandosy, the Abbott Street heritage streets and the hospital district. Flat, walkable, three beaches, and the smallest ten-year gain I track, for a reason worth reading. $857,500median, 2026 so far +47%ten years
  8. Lower Mission The lakeshore neighbourhood: three beaches, the biggest rec park in the city, a lakefront street with its own market, and a flood history on two sides worth hearing. $1,180,000median, 2026 so far +79%ten years
  9. Crawford Estates Half-acre to one-acre lots on the flat bench above the Mission, the 2003 fire, and so few sales that a listing is an event. $1,400,000median, 2026 so far +83%ten years
  10. Black Mountain Kelowna's newest hillside, above Rutland off Highway 33. Two golf courses, the region's largest park, and a premium that has appeared inside a decade. $1,125,000median, 2026 so far +94%ten years
  11. Rutland North The town-centre half of Rutland. Flat lots the City has just rezoned for three, four or six units, in one of five places it wants nearly half of all new housing. $785,750median, 2026 so far +78%ten years
  12. Rutland South The greenway side of Rutland, from Highway 33 down to Mission Creek and Scenic Canyon, at the lowest median I track. $765,000median, 2026 so far +73%ten years

Upper Mission and Kettle Valley, on my neighbourhood site

  1. Upper Mission The hillside south of DeHart Road, where the newer subdivisions and the biggest views sit, and where most of my Mission files are. uppermissionkelowna.cathe guide, prices and homes
  2. Kettle Valley A village layout on the bench above the lake, built around its own school and trails, with a look that is nothing like the rest of the hill. uppermissionkelowna.cathe guide, prices and homes

The three municipalities

  1. West Kelowna Its own city across the bridge and the biggest market on this list, with more kinds of tenure, terrain and risk than anywhere else in the valley. $915,000median, 2026 so far +78%ten years
  2. Peachland A lakeside town of six thousand with the best views on the west side, and a set of facts about water, fire and the highway worth hearing before the view does its work. $824,000median, 2026 so far +55%ten years
  3. Lake Country Three lakes, four wards, nearly half its land protected farmland, and the fastest growth of any municipality in the Central Okanagan. $1,022,500median, 2026 so far +78%ten years

Every figure is a median of single family detached sales recorded on the Interior REALTORS® MLS®, pulled 9 September 2026. The current year covers January through August, not a full year. Ten years is the change from the 2016 median. Each guide carries the full table.

Reading the numbers

Every figure on this page is a median: the middle sale in a set, with half the homes above it and half below. It describes a neighbourhood. It does not describe your house, which sits somewhere in that set depending on the view, the lot, the finish and the mechanical, and I’d never price one off the median alone.

The current year is a partial year. The figure covers January through the last month in the data, so comparing it with a full year will mislead you, most of all in the small areas. Wilden and Dilworth Mountain sell a few dozen detached homes a year, and two or three custom builds can move an annual median by a hundred thousand dollars on their own. Read those as a range wearing a number.

The ten-year change is the current median against 2016. Over the same decade, in the same city, the strongest of these areas doubled and the softest gained about half. Anyone who tells you what “the Kelowna market” did over ten years is describing an average almost nobody lived in, which is the whole reason these guides exist.

Why these seventeen

The Central Okanagan has more neighbourhoods than this map shows. These are the ones I work. Fifteen of them are the areas I track every month in the Kelowna market report, so a figure on a guide and a figure in the report can never disagree. The other two, Upper Mission and Kettle Valley, are on my separate neighbourhood site, uppermissionkelowna.ca, with the listings, the prices and a guide for each; the shapes here take you straight to them. The three municipalities are drawn to their legal boundaries. The Kelowna neighbourhoods follow the roads and creeks locals use as their edges, Highway 33, Highway 97, Glenmore Road, Mission Creek, DeHart Road, and the board doesn’t publish its sub-areas as lines on a map, so a shape here says “about here” rather than “this side of the street.” A local can tell you exactly where Glenmore becomes North Glenmore. The map tells you roughly, which is the honest version.

Each guide carries the same shape: the data block, what the homes are actually like, what I’d tell a buyer at the kitchen table, what works when you sell there, and the questions people ask. If you want the whole region in one read, start with the report. If you’d rather start from what you want than from a map, my picks by view, walk, value and lot sort the same areas that way. If you want to know what I’d do with a specific address, tell me the street.

Which Kelowna neighbourhoods do you work?

Wilden, North Glenmore, Glenmore, Dilworth Mountain, Kelowna North, Kelowna South, Lower Mission, Crawford Estates, University District, Black Mountain, Rutland North and Rutland South inside Kelowna, Upper Mission and Kettle Valley on my neighbourhood site, plus West Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country as whole municipalities. I’ll work a property outside those areas too. These are the ones with a guide because they’re where most of my files are and where I know the streets.

Are the neighbourhood boundaries exact?

No. The three municipal outlines are the legal boundaries from the Province’s own data. The fourteen Kelowna neighbourhoods are approximate, drawn to the roads and creeks that mark their edges and to the MLS® sub-areas the sales data uses. The board doesn’t publish those as polygons, so a shape here says “about here,” not “this side of the street.”

Where do the numbers come from?

From the Interior REALTORS® MLS®, pulled directly and stored as the board reports them. Single family detached sales only, annual medians rather than averages, and nothing computed from another statistic. The same arrays feed the market report and the fifteen guides on this site, so they cannot drift apart. The Mission figures live on uppermissionkelowna.ca with their own sourcing.

Market figures on this page are medians of single family detached sales recorded on the Interior REALTORS® MLS® for each of the fifteen areas tracked here and for the Central Okanagan, pulled September 2026 and covering January through August 2026 for the current year. They describe the market, not any one home. Municipal boundaries and lake outlines are drawn from the BC Data Catalogue; neighbourhood shapes are approximate.
