The housing market has made a significant shift over the last year. We all saw it standstill as soon as Covid hit, but then it took an unexpected turn. Families all over Vancouver and the lower mainland were looking for more space, big yards, and to be surrounded by nature. This shift has meant that more people than ever have been moving to Kelowna.
Why Kelowna?
Let’s start with nature.
Kelowna is one of those unique towns where you can waterski in the summer and snowboard in the winter. Nestled in between the Cascade and Columbia mountain ranges, it’s a spectacle of nature’s beauty. The surrounding areas of Kelowna are home to bears, coyotes, deer, bobcats, and even cougars. Moving to Kelowna means moving to a city surrounded by beautiful and diverse nature.
There’s always something to do.
There are year-round activities to entertain people of all ages. Kelowna has four distinct seasons, and with each one comes with fun outdoor and indoor activities. Kelowna is a major city of BC, though it’s small enough to still feel like a small town in many ways. Tourists flock to Kelowna for the multiple concerts and festivals it hosts every year. In addition, the city is filled with cuisines from around the world and a small but energetic nightlife.
Summers can be spent swimming, water skiing, wake surfing, tubing, and almost any water sport you can think of in the beautiful Okanagan Lake. You just have to keep an eye out for the Ogopogo! Spring and Autumn can be spent hiking, fishing, camping, and enjoying the warm weather that the Okanagan has to offer. These high temperatures are a big part of the draw when moving to Kelowna.
During winter, the action doesn’t stop. Big White Ski resort is right next door and boasts some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Canada! Winters in Kelowna are full of fresh powder and warm nights around a fire.
