Glenrosa is one of West Kelowna’s largest and most established neighbourhoods, offering a welcoming, family friendly lifestyle with a true sense of community. Tucked into the hills above Highway 97, toward Peachland, Glenrosa combines peaceful residential living with convenient access to urban amenities, making it a favourite choice for families or anybody who appreicates feeling a little bit separated from the main city.
The neighbourhood is well known for its spacious lots, mature landscaping, and quiet streets designed with walkability in mind. Many homes have generous yards, providing plenty of space for children to play and families to enjoy the outdoors. The housing mix is diverse, ranging from older, character filled homes to modern new builds and townhome developments, giving buyers options that fit a variety of budgets and lifestyles.
Education is a key draw to the area. Glenrosa is home to two elementary schools and a middle school, meaning children can walk to class throughout much of their early education. This convenience fosters a close knit, community focused atmosphere where neighbours often know one another, and families form strong connections.
Recreation is another highlight of Glenrosa. Surrounded by rolling hills and natural beauty, residents enjoy quick access to hiking trails, parks, sports fields, and playgrounds. Nearby Glen Canyon Regional Park provides opportunities for walking, birdwatching, and exploring Okanagan nature, while larger recreational amenities in West Kelowna are only a short drive away.
Despite its peaceful setting, Glenrosa remains connected. Shopping, dining, and essential services along Westbank Centre’s Main Street are only minutes down the hill, while downtown Kelowna is about a 20-minute drive across the bridge. This balance makes Glenrosa especially desirable for families who want room to grow without giving up accessibility.
Glenrosa stands out as a community that blends rural charm with suburban comfort. Its strong schools, variety of housing, safe streets, and abundance of recreational opportunities continue to make it one of West Kelowna’s most popular neighbourhoods.
