The working centre of the North Okanagan, and the one place up here where you can buy almost any kind of home.
Vernon covers a lot of ground. East Hill is older houses on bigger lots and the shortest walk downtown. Okanagan Landing is newer and closer to the water, and prices follow the view. Bella Vista and Middleton Mountain are where most of the family subdivisions went in through the 2000s, so you get newer construction and a garage without going out of town.
It is also the only part of the region with a real condo and townhouse market, which matters if you are buying your first place or stepping down out of a house.
Suits: First-time buyers, families who want to stay close to work, anyone who does not want to drive to a grocery store.
