With a homeownership rate higher than the provincial average, as well as Canada’s fastest-growing population, the communities in the Central Okanagan offer attractive and unique housing options. Families looking to relocate can select from well-established neighbourhoods, single-family homes, and townhomes in newer subdivisions with access to modern parks and walking trails, or estate residential housing. The region’s housing costs are competitive when compared with similar-sized municipalities or the population centres of Vancouver and Calgary.
