University District.

The University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) Campus stands as one of Kelowna’s most significant economic drivers, and its influence extends to the surrounding neighborhoods. With its ongoing expansion, the area is witnessing a building boom, particularly for condominium homes located just south of the main campus along Academy Way. This development surge is a testament to the university’s growth and the increasing demand for housing in the vicinity. Moreover, there are plans for future residential development that will offer a diverse range of housing options in terms of sizes and prices, catering to the evolving needs of the community.

One crucial infrastructure enhancement that will benefit the University District is the extension of John Hindle Drive from Glenmore Road North. This extended road, which currently serves as the new entrance to the Kelowna landfill, is set to be expanded directly to UBCO. This not only improves accessibility but also strengthens the connection between the university and the surrounding area.

Aberdeen Hall, a local K-12 private school known for its rigorous academic curriculum, adds to the educational landscape of the University District. As this area continues to flourish, more shops, restaurants, and hotels are being developed, enriching the lifestyle and amenities available to residents. The business district around the airport is also experiencing rapid growth, underscoring the economic vitality of the region.

For those who love golf, the University District is home to four outstanding golf courses, including Sunset Ranch, Shadow Springs, and the Bear and Quail courses at the Okanagan Golf Club. This provides ample opportunities for golf enthusiasts to indulge in their passion.

The location of the University District is particularly convenient. Situated just minutes from the airport and approximately 15 minutes from the main shopping areas of Kelowna, it offers a perfect blend of residential and apartment-style homes. Local amenities in the area are aplenty, with popular destinations like Starbucks, Urban Liquor, the 4 Points Sheraton Hotel featuring the Gulfstream Restaurant, Tim Horton’s, Nester’s Market, and several other local hangouts. These conveniences ensure that residents have access to all they need without having to travel far from home.
