Downtown Kelowna
Neighbourhood Details
Pretty and dynamic, Downtown Kelowna remains the heart of the city. A recent boost in development here has rejuvenated the cultural, business, and social communities, making Downtown’s residential neighbourhoods a popular choice for homebuyers.
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.
