Ellison

It seems only poetic to start my neighbourhood insights with the one in which I grew up.

With Kelowna expanding, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a quiet neighbourhood that still lies within city limits. 

Look no further. Ellison, a neighbourhood with rural community charm on the edge of a bustling city. The Ellison community is founded upon a heritage of agriculture, rural acreages and scattered residential neighbourhoods within scenic valley terrain.

Time seems to slow in this community just 15 minutes from all of the downtown action, and reflects within the tight knit community of retirees, empty nesters, working farms and families, all of whom work together to keep the agricultural vibe alive!

Ellison is home to large lots featuring extensive outdoor spaces and Ellison Elementary, which make these homes perfect for the littles in your life. They are moderately priced, even with the larger lot sizes. Ellison is on the east side of the airport and the northern end of Kelowna. The wandering streams and arid grasslands support many small farms, wineries, and agritourism. 

When picking your community, it is important to consider your lifestyle. Ellison is perfect for the family who wants a country lifestyle with close access to city amenities, the airport (Kelowna International Airport), and the educational opportunities offered by the University. The University of British Columbia Okanagan and Kelowna International airport are both within a 10-minute drive and are both greatly expanding each year. UBCO welcomes over 12,000 students each year and Kelowna International Airport has become one of Canada’s busiest airports. Therefore, if you’re looking for a potential rental or investment opportunity, Ellison may be the perfect choice for you. 

For the outdoor enthusiasts or those who want to bring a little adventure to their lives – Mill Creek Regional Park holds space to many of my childhood memories. From hiking trails, horse back riding, mountain biking to waterfalls, there is something for everyone. 

Choose Ellison today – your welcome oasis from the hustle of city life.
