Lakeshore / mission area. Nice by the lake, we have decent shopping here. Traffic sucks but appearantly they will make lakeshore one way and ritcher one way the other way which will help a lot.
I remember watching your videos when I was waiting my visa for Phd in UBCO. now I am rewatching from the amazing neighbourhood of glenmore. I love Kelowna,,,
I’ve lived on the Westside, Rutland, Mission and Downtown area. Downtown easily is the best. For me being a City kid from Vancouver area, I love that Kelowna downtown core keeps growing up and up. So many more high rise going up, lots of shops, pubs, so many really great places to eat as well. Have you thought about putting together you top 5 places to eat ? Raudz, Micro, Blue Tail, Tokyo, Red Bird, Jacks. Some places I enjoy going 🤙🏼
Good point! Downtown is excellent for having everything you need close by. Great idea with top places to eat! Right now we are working on doing a top wineries video but maybe we will see one based on restaurants in the near future 👀
Rutland will boom because all the houses have large yards so all the housing developers will price the average home buyer out to build apartments and townhouses. Kelowna is a 15 minute city that's why there are separate areas
You got that right about land size and zoning! There is also some major investments being made to clean up Rutland. It’s a great place to live, but I still believe places like Glenmore and mission are better suited for most folks!
After having lived in Kelowna for 20 years and escaping the insanity a number of years ago, my suggestion is to live and work in the same area to avoid a commute. If you are retired, live close to the things you do the most….grocery store, banks, doctors office, Costco. Basically the less driving you have to do the better. The city is too big for the roadways and that creates a horrible drive through gridlock most of the day and the summer is absolute hell on wheels with the tourists driving all over….
Bought a place in west kelowna 6 months ago, I have lived in Calgary, Edmonton, Squamish, and different locations of the lower mainland and I can honestly say this place is freaking Paradise, especially in the summer.
Great video. It will be evne better if you can add more neighbourhoods into the next episode . For example, Joe rich, south east kelowna, Glenrosa in WK, lakeview heights in WK, the list goes on.
Just don’t buy any of the condos downtown. They are complete trash. I’ve lived in One Water, Waterscapes, and Ellis Parc. Poorly built - horribly managed.
@@BradyandJayde yeah - honestly one of the worst condo experiences I have had in the world. It makes Colombia look like a dream. Strongly considering Calgary or South America again. Do not buy any condo in Kelowna. - homeless fights wake you up at night from the 20th floor - constant sirens - loud exhausts - no heat in your unit (One Water Street) Mission Group and NAC need to get some competition.
I love Kelowna my aunty and uncle used to live there on a cliff and then there was a big forest fire in 2003 I think it was and their house burned and they moved to Daytona beach. I bet if they stayed and rebuilt their house it would be worth 3 or 4 millions dollars now from what I see on the real estate prices for that area.
Wow! Yes, demand for living in Kelowna has grown a lot since 2003. Sorry to hear about the fire... It is certainly one of the largest risks to living in this part of BC
Crime & Homelessness is all over Kelowna… this city caters to junkies & turning a blind eye to all the crimes they commit… words right from a former Kelowna RCMP “ is we are told / advised not to arrest the homeless unless it is a major crime or in a very public area “… B N E’s car theft or threats to the public will go unpunished even when a cop is within eye sight of the crime… the courts will just let them go so why would I waste my time… Remember the former Chief of Police’s daughter ran a dial a dope organization for years in Kelowna so take that as a hint if your thinking of moving here I don’t blame this person for relocating
This kid is a joke. Please do extensive research before you move to kelowna BC sir. 4 generations of my family born and raised in Kelowna B.C have all moved away from Kelowna B.C for many reasons that you need to research. Unless you will be very Wealthy don't even think of moving to Kelowna. Cheers
Blue collar and white collar people live in Kelowna. The Superintendent of the School district lives in Rutland. We have the best drinking water out of the tap unlike the Mission, Glenmore and the parts of the city that draw from the lake. Did I mention Okanagan Lake turns over once in a hundred years.
Lived in Kelowna (downtown) when the population was 38,000 and you could count on one hand the number of homeless people. Wouldn't move back - its just an extension the the LMD. People left the LMD to get away from the crime, homelessness etc and what did they do? They brought their woke politics with them and now you have all the problems they tried to get away from.
Rubbish. What does "woke" politics even mean? Seriously, it's annoying when people use terms they dont understand. If you are trying to blame politics for the homeless situation in Kelowna, then take a look at the neoliberal/capitalist policies that hold sway over our entire socio-economic structure. Kelowna has a long history of conservative leaning mayors under the likes of Watler Gray and Stuart and has a long list of Conservative MPs. Are you calling Conservative politicians "woke" now as well?
@@Thetruthhurts708 It certainly must have been a "good try" if you have no counter-point to make. But like your handle says, the truth hurts, I just thought with a handle like that you might be able to take it.
What is your favorite part of K-Town? and why?
I like Glenmore

Amazing to hear! Kelowna one of the best places to be, we are very lucky!
Westbank/West kelowna are not part of Kelowna. They have their own Mayor and council.
We live in the lower mission and you are so right. This is the best place to live in Kelowna. Has this awesome Palm Springs vibe.
Never been to Palm Springs but now I wanna go!

It would be helpful if you showed an overview of the area and pinpointed where the neighborhood is. Are these 15 minute neighborhoods?

Couldn’t agree more!
Im down lakeshore a few houses from a beach. Traffic is horrible
I would imagine it gets bad in the summer for sure
yeah just wait until the huge appartments by Save On and Gyro go up. Jesus christ lakeshore will be uninhabitable from May-September
Great video. It will be evne better if you can add more neighbourhoods into the next episode . For example,
Joe rich, south east kelowna, Glenrosa in WK, lakeview heights in WK, the list goes on.
Great idea! Sounds like I should be making a separate video for west kelowna all together which may be coming soon in the future
Grew up in lower mission but love rutland black mountain far better feels like the mission area in the early 2000s
Black Mountain is a great area, next video I make will have to go more in depth about that area!

Do not buy any condo in Kelowna.

Mission Group and NAC need to get some competition.
Lake Country should be included on your list. It’s better connected to Kelowna than Westbank, and for many a better choice.
Nice take 👍
Thanks Peter!

@@BradyandJaydeWho would have forseen the Aug 17 th firestorm eh ? History repeated itself once again.😢
@@blueman5924 fire risk should certainly be taken into account when finding a neighbourhood to settle!
which place is suitable for student in terms of monthly rent
If you’re a student, rentals on academy way seem to be fairly priced and reserved only for those who are students. Good location if you study at UBCO
UBCO dorm or Academy way. No where else outside of LC and Rutland will be suitable unless you can afford 2500/monthly
Lower mission is the best area, but just stay there and don’t go anywhere!
😊
South East Kelowna is the best part of town. People in the mission have their heads up their sphincters
Big White, a half an hour drive ?? what ? at 100 miles per hour ?? ,,,
*km's ;)
It was great in the 90’s. 😅
I have heard that was the golden era!
i lived on hein rd back in the 90's it was a rough go for a small white kid
Where are you living these days?
@@BradyandJayde i left kelowna in 2011, now i live in red deer
What happened to you? Last video 9 months ago.
Still here! Working on some new stuff coming this summer and winter📸
In which part is Okanagan college???
Right on the edge of the Springfield/spall area!
Literally the divide between Springfield and Lower Mission. KLO Road
Don’t use John Yetman from Royal LePage as your realtor or the awful experiences of my life. Biggest regret was ever meeting that person.

Hard place to settle
Takes a while but good after a while
Why?
If wineries is you main thing you ain't got much of a life
Great video Brady, too bad I know nothing about Kelowna... 🤷♀😅
Now you know a bit more!
Thank you 😊
No problem!😊
This will be my guide if I end up moving to Kelowna.
Best compliment ever! I am also working on a full Kelowna living guide video. That should release in the next couple months🤫

Just so long as you remember that it’s not called “the West Bank” and that lakes don’t have “coasts”.
Kelowna BC is a joke
Good joke or bad joke!?
@@BradyandJaydewell played..
Ah yes, another realtor pooping on Rutland. Nothing new here 😹
Lots of desirable reasons to live in Rutland! But compared to its competition, there’s no question about its placing on the list
