McKinley Landing is a quiet lakeside community along the northwestern shoreline of Okanagan Lake, offering residents a lifestyle that combines privacy, natural beauty, and modern convenience. Characterized by its winding hillside roads, forested landscapes, and sweeping views of the lake and valley, this area has long appealed to those seeking larger lots, custom homes, and a retreat like setting.
Many properties in McKinley Landing are lakefront estates with private docks, tiered gardens, and spacious decks designed to capture the stunning lake and mountain views, while others are hillside residences that emphasize a close connection to the natural surroundings. In recent years, the area has grown with the development of McKinley Beach, a thoughtfully planned lakeside community that has introduced a variety of modern housing options, from townhomes and single family residences to luxury lakeview estates. This development also brings resort style amenities such as a private marina, beach access, tennis and pickleball courts, and extensive hiking and biking trails, as well as a village center that enhances community life. Despite its tranquil, almost rural atmosphere, McKinley Landing is conveniently located just minutes from Glenmore’s shopping and services, the Kelowna International Airport, and UBC Okanagan, making it a practical choice for families, professionals, and retirees.
Outdoor recreation is part of everyday life here, with opportunities for boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, and swimming on the lake, along with hiking, cycling, and winter activities in the surrounding hillsides. With its combination of lakeside living, natural scenery, and carefully planned growth, McKinley Landing stands out as a unique Kelowna neighborhood that offers a balance of relaxation, recreation, and accessibility.
