Neighbourhood Guide To

Lake Country North West

Overview

Lake Country North West is a scenic and desirable pocket of the Okanagan, offering a balance of peaceful rural living and easy access to modern conveniences. Nestled between Okanagan Lake and the rolling hills that define the region, this neighbourhood is known for its spectacular lake views, and  quiet surroundings. 

One of the defining features of Lake Country North West is its proximity to the water. Many homes are perched on hillsides, offering sweeping views over Okanagan Lake and the valley below. Residents enjoy quick access to several public beaches, boat launches, and parks, making it a paradise for anyone who loves the outdoors. Whether it’s boating, paddle boarding, swimming, or simply enjoying a lakeside picnic, lake life is woven into the daily experience here.

Housing in the area ranges from family homes on generous lots to newer subdivisions with modern designs and luxury properties that take full advantage of the natural scenery. The mix of established neighbourhoods and new development means there are options for first time buyers, growing families, and those looking for a luxurious lakeview retreat. Families are especially drawn to the area for its strong school system and safe, community minded environment. With schools, playgrounds, and sports fields nearby, children have plenty of opportunities to grow and stay active close to home. The pedestrian friendly  and quiet residential streets further enhance the family appeal.

Recreation extends beyond the lake. Hiking and biking trails wind through the surrounding hillsides, offering endless opportunities to explore nature right outside your door. Golf enthusiasts also benefit from nearby courses, while wineries and orchards scattered throughout Lake Country provide a taste of the Okanagan’s agricultural richness.

Despite its tranquil setting, Lake Country North West is conveniently connected. Essential shopping, dining, and services are a short drive away in the town centre, while Kelowna International Airport and UBC Okanagan are about 15 minutes to the south. Vernon is equally accessible to the north, giving residents flexibility and convenience for work or leisure.
