Here is everything you need to know about finding and buying the right townhome in Kelowna and West Kelowna this year.
The short answer
For townhomes in Kelowna, focus your search on the established, amenity-rich areas of Lower Mission and Glenmore, or the more affordable, family-friendly neighbourhoods of Rutland and Black Mountain.

01Market Snapshot
The Townhome Lifestyle
Kelowna North, Kelowna
Choosing a townhome in Kelowna is about finding the sweet spot between a condo and a detached house. You get more space and privacy than a typical apartment, often with a small yard or patio, without the upkeep of a large single-family lot. This makes them ideal for young families, professionals, and those looking to downsize while staying in a vibrant community. Townhomes offer a unique blend of ownership and shared responsibility, creating a connected neighbourhood feel.
In August 2026, the benchmark price for a townhome in the Central Okanagan was $698,600. This positions them as a more accessible option compared to single-family homes, which had a benchmark of $1,056,700. Conversely, townhomes are a step up in price from condos, which sat at a benchmark of $465,700. This middle-ground pricing makes them a popular and competitive segment of the local real estate market.
The market in late 2026 is showing signs of balance, which is good news for buyers. Townhomes took an average of 64 days to sell in August 2026, a bit longer than the previous year. This suggests buyers have more time to consider their options and negotiate. With a healthy level of inventory, you have a good selection to choose from across Kelowna and the Westside, from brand new builds to established, mature complexes.
Local tips
A townhome can be a great investment, offering more space than a condo for a lower price than a detached home.
Consider the trade-offs: you'll have more privacy than a condo but will share walls with neighbours.
The market pace in 2026 allows for more careful decision-making compared to previous years.
02Where to Look
Kelowna's Core Neighbourhoods
Lower Mission, Kelowna
The Lower Mission is one of Kelowna's most sought-after areas for townhome living. Its appeal lies in its proximity to Okanagan Lake, beaches, and the popular Pandosy shopping district. You'll find a mix of newer developments like Green Square Vert and established complexes such as Mission Meadows. This neighbourhood is perfect for those who value a walkable lifestyle, with easy access to parks, restaurants, and schools, creating a vibrant, active community atmosphere year-round.
Glenmore is a large, diverse area that is home to many townhome communities. North Glenmore offers convenient access to UBCO and the airport, with popular complexes like The Verve. The central Glenmore valley, near Knox Mountain, features newer projects like Eminence at Knox and The Peaks. With its rolling hills and extensive trail networks, Glenmore appeals to outdoor enthusiasts and families, offering a suburban feel just minutes from downtown Kelowna.
Dilworth Mountain provides a unique setting with stunning city and valley views. Townhome complexes here are often terraced into the hillside, offering privacy and a sense of escape while remaining centrally located. It’s a quieter option than the Mission but still offers excellent access to the shopping and services of the Springfield - Spall area. This neighbourhood is a great choice for those seeking a scenic and peaceful environment with convenient city access.
Local tips
Visit neighbourhoods at different times of day to get a feel for traffic and community activity.
Check the proximity to grocery stores, cafes, and other amenities that fit your lifestyle.
Explore the parks and walking trails nearby—a key feature of life in Glenmore and Dilworth.
Rutland has become a hub for affordable, family-oriented townhome living. Divided into Rutland North and Rutland South, the area boasts a strong community feel with numerous parks, schools, and its own walkable town centre. The median list price for a townhouse in Rutland was around $620,000 in late 2026, offering significant value. You'll find a wide range of styles here, from older, well-maintained complexes to newer builds like Eden Kelowna.
Black Mountain offers a distinct country-meets-city vibe on the eastern edge of Kelowna. Known for its incredible views over the valley, this area features newer townhome developments often situated near the Black Mountain Golf Club. The median list price for a townhouse here was about $602,000 in late 2026. It's a great choice for those who want a quieter setting and more space, while still being a short drive from Rutland's amenities and central Kelowna.
For those seeking a master-planned community feel, Wilden is a standout choice. Tucked away in the hills north of Glenmore, Wilden is renowned for its focus on preserving natural green space, with an extensive network of parks and trails. New townhome projects like Pondside Landing offer modern living surrounded by nature, with prices starting in the mid-$700,000s in 2026. It's an ideal location for nature lovers who still want to be under 15 minutes from downtown.
Local tips
Rutland offers some of the best value for townhomes in the Kelowna area.
If you're a golfer or love panoramic views, Black Mountain is a must-see.
In Wilden, ask about the different phases of development and future trail connections.
Shannon Lake is a top choice for families in West Kelowna. The neighbourhood is centred around the picturesque lake and Shannon Lake Golf Club, with plenty of parks and recreational opportunities. It's also home to excellent schools, making it a popular draw. You'll find a variety of townhome complexes here, offering a range of price points and styles. Its convenient location provides easy access to both West Kelowna and Kelowna amenities.
Westbank and Westbank Centre form the commercial and residential heart of West Kelowna. This area offers a high degree of walkability to shops, restaurants, and services. Townhome developments here range from affordable, established complexes to newer projects. Some developments, like Hawks Landing, are on Westbank First Nation land and feature prepaid 99-year leases, which means no property transfer tax. This can be a significant saving for buyers.
The areas of Smith Creek and Glenrosa, further west, provide a more rural, peaceful setting. These neighbourhoods are known for their larger lots, stunning lake views, and proximity to hiking and biking trails. While detached homes are more common, you can find townhome developments that offer great value and a close-knit community feel. These areas are perfect for those wanting to be close to nature while still being a part of the growing West Kelowna community.
Local tips
Explore the different West Kelowna neighbourhoods; each has a unique character.
If considering a property on WFN land, ensure you understand the specifics of the lease.
Drive the commute to Kelowna during peak hours if you'll be crossing the bridge for work.
When you buy a townhome, you are buying into a strata corporation. This means you own your individual unit (the “strata lot”) and also share ownership of common property, like roofs, landscaping, and amenities. The strata is governed by a council of elected owners who make decisions based on the Strata Property Act of BC and the corporation's specific bylaws. It's essential to review all strata documents before you buy.
Strata fees are a monthly payment that covers the shared expenses of the complex. This includes landscaping, snow removal, insurance for the buildings, and contributions to the contingency reserve fund (CRF) for future major repairs. In Kelowna, strata fees for a townhome typically range from $350 to $500 per month but can vary widely based on amenities and the age of the complex. Some fees may also include utilities like water or gas.
Before purchasing, carefully examine the strata's bylaws. These rules govern day-to-day life and can include restrictions on pets, rentals, and even the type of window coverings you can use. Also, review the strata minutes and the Form B to check the financial health of the corporation, see if any large special levies are planned, and understand any ongoing issues. A well-managed strata with a healthy reserve fund is a crucial part of a secure townhome investment.
Local tips
Always have your realtor and lawyer review the full strata document package.
Look for a well-funded Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF) to avoid surprise special levies.
Ask about pet and rental restrictions, as these are common and can impact your lifestyle.
Check what utilities are included in the strata fee to accurately budget your monthly costs.
06What's New for 2026
New Townhome Projects
Wilden, Kelowna
The demand for modern, convenient living is driving several new townhome projects across the region in 2026. In Kelowna, Wilden's Pondside Landing continues to be a popular choice, offering homes surrounded by ponds and trails. In Glenmore, projects like The Peaks offer rooftop patios and easy access to Knox Mountain Park. The Upper Mission is also seeing new activity, with 3-bedroom townhome projects planned for Gordon Drive.
West Kelowna is also experiencing a surge in new townhome construction. Shannon-Lynn on the Lake in the Shannon Lake neighbourhood offers 3 and 4-bedroom homes perfect for families. On the waterfront, Westrich Bay is a notable development on Westbank First Nation land featuring modern townhomes with stunning lake access. These new projects often feature contemporary design, energy-efficient construction, and desirable amenities tailored to the Okanagan lifestyle.
For buyers interested in pre-construction, projects like Solstice at Tower Ranch and The Nest at Findlay offer a chance to get into the market early. Buying pre-construction allows for more customization but requires careful review of the developer's track record and the contract details. Whether you're looking for a move-in ready home or want to customize a new build, 2026 offers a strong selection of new townhome opportunities in both Kelowna and West Kelowna.
Local tips
Visit the presentation centre for new developments to view floor plans and finishes.
Ask your REALTOR® about the reputation of the developer for any pre-sale project.
Clarify what is included in the base price and what constitutes an upgrade.
Every neighbourhood boundary on one live map. Tap an area for its intro and photos, then open the full guide: schools, parks, patios and the buildings that anchor it.
The main advantage is space and privacy. Townhomes typically offer more square footage, multiple levels, and private outdoor space like a patio or small yard, which is less common with condos.
