Vernon neighbourhoods: where to start

Lakefront, hillside views, acreages, golf or ski-in, ski-out. A newcomer's map of Vernon and Coldstream, with links to sold prices by area.

"Vernon" on a listing can mean a downtown condo, a lakefront home in Okanagan Landing, a view lot in the Foothills, an acreage in Lavington or a golf home at Predator Ridge. Here's how the area breaks down, and where to dig deeper on Sean's other sites.

The City's neighbourhoods

The City of Vernon lists its distinct neighbourhoods as City Centre, Predator Ridge, Bella Vista West, East Bella Vista Highlands, North Vernon, Waterfront, Okanagan Hills, Okanagan Landing, Blue Jay Subdivision and Foothills. Its Official Community Plan also names Alexis Park, Jubilee Hill and the Waterfront as village centres planned for mixed-use buildings of one to six storeys.

Okanagan LandingNamed for its history as the shipping landing on Okanagan Lake at the end of a rail spur through Vernon. Lake living, marinas and condos like The Strand. FoothillsOn Vernon's northeastern edge off Silver Star Road, about 800 acres known for views over the city and Kalamalka, Okanagan and Swan lakes. Coldstream and LavingtonA separate district next door at the north end of Kalamalka Lake, home to Kal Beach and centred on the historic Coldstream Ranch. Predator RidgeA golf community with two courses, the Predator Course and the Ridge Course. Excluded from the speculation and vacancy tax. East HillSean's East Hill guide covers homes, parks, schools and character houses in this Vernon neighbourhood. SilverStarThe ski village up the hill, with ski-in, ski-out homes, and exempt from the provincial short-term rental principal-residence rule.

Sean's insider tip

Before you choose a neighbourhood, drive (or have Sean drive you on video) your real weekday routes: school drop-off, the grocery store, the commute and the road up to SilverStar. Ten minutes on a map can be twenty in practice.
