Westside Road offers a lifestyle defined by natural beauty, privacy, and lakeside living. Stretching north from West Kelowna along Okanagan Lake’s western shoreline, this scenic strip is known for its breathtaking views, a mix of rural and waterfront properties, and its infamous reputation as a narrow, winding road. While the drive itself can be a challenge, most residents agree the setting makes it worthwhile.
This area is ideal for those who value peace, space, and a strong connection to the outdoors. Many properties enjoy panoramic lake views and quick access to beaches, boat launches, and provincial parks. Bear Creek Provincial Park and numerous less known favourites provide opportunities for hiking, boating, swimming, and fishing, making recreation a natural part of daily life.
Homes along Westside Road are varied, ranging from rustic lakeside cabins and seasonal cottages to custom modern builds, luxury estates, and private acreages. The diversity of housing attracts a wide mix of residents, from full time families and retirees to those seeking a vacation home or weekend retreat.
One important consideration is location. Depending on where you live along Westside Road, you may be just a short drive to the shops, schools, and services of West Kelowna, or you could be much farther out, with a longer commute into town. This mix of convenience and remoteness is part of the area’s unique character and appeal.
Westside Road is suited for those who embrace a slightly slower pace and don’t mind trading a winding drive for incredible views, privacy, and direct access to Okanagan nature. It’s a community that offers both seclusion and beauty, while still keeping urban amenities within reach, just not always right around the corner.
