about

Along with hosting the Kelowna Cultural District, the downtown area is also home to a mix of heritage homes and modern and innovative condo dwellings. This keeps the area the heart of the city in every sense.

A very recent rejuvenation effort by the city has resulted in a once again thriving social, cultural and commercial scene that makes living in the area that much more attractive for home owners or renters.

Downtown Kelowna is a crossroads of the city’s history and its future. Brick storefronts mix with innovative contemporary architecture and a well-designed boardwalk. Heritage homes along tree-lined streets, beautiful parks and beaches, excellent restaurants, museums and galleries, theatres, hotels, municipal services, and businesses create an appealing urban vibe.

The Downtown revitalization project shines a light on this treasured city neighbourhood. Convenient to nightlife, recreation, and work, it attracts young adults, families, and empty nesters, alike. New high-rise condos and contemporary townhome developments, along with well-loved single-family homes welcome residents to this central hub of Kelowna life.
