Kelowna Condos We Recommend, by Area
Downtown gives you height and walkability, the Lower Mission gives you the beach, and the North End, Midtown and Glenmore give you newer mid-rise options close to the core. Here are the buildings we'd point a buyer to in each area, and why. Our picks are our opinion, based on location, amenities, developer track record and resale depth. For every condo for sale, see Kelowna condos for sale; for our short lists by best, luxury, lake view and short-term rental, see Kelowna Condos.

Kelowna Condos by Area: FAQ
- Which Kelowna neighbourhood is best for a condo?
- It depends on how you want to live. Downtown suits buyers who want to walk everywhere; the Lower Mission suits buyers who want the beach; Midtown and Glenmore offer newer buildings close to the core.
- Which Kelowna condo buildings allow short-term rentals?
- Only buildings at addresses on the City of Kelowna's short-term rental subzone list, and only where the strata bylaws allow it. Our dated list copies the City's addresses.
- Where are Kelowna's lakefront condos?
- Mostly along Sunset Drive downtown and in the Lower Mission, including Aqua, Caban, MOVALA and Mission Shores, plus McKinley Beach to the north. Ask for the flood construction level before you buy.
