Vernon Real Estate Listings

Vernon Real Estate

Vernon sits at the north end of the Okanagan Valley, where three lakes come together within the city's reach. It's smaller and quieter than Kelowna an hour south, and that trade-off is exactly what draws a lot of buyers. You get the Okanagan climate, the lake access, and the vineyards without paying Kelowna prices or dealing with the same traffic. Retirees have long made up a big part of the market here, but younger families and remote workers have been moving in over the past several years, drawn by the slower pace and the outdoor lifestyle.

Kalamalka Lake, with its turquoise water, sits right on the city's doorstep, and Kal Beach is a short drive for anyone living in the south end. Silver Star Mountain Resort is about 20 minutes up the hill, which puts skiing and mountain biking within easy reach year-round. Downtown Vernon has a walkable core along 30th Avenue with the restored murals the city is known for, and Polson Park anchors the south side with its gardens and creekside trails. The regional hospital, the local wineries, and a farming and agriculture base around the valley floor keep the economy steady, with tourism and construction filling in through the warmer months.

Vernon's housing stock runs older than what you'll find in the newer Okanagan communities. The core neighbourhoods have postwar and mid-century homes, many on generous lots. Newer development has pushed up into the hills around Predator Ridge and The Rise, where larger lake-view homes and golf-course lots sell at the top of the market. The Foothills and Middleton Mountain areas offer newer subdivisions aimed at families, while East Hill remains a sought-after established neighbourhood close to town.

Find a Home for Sale in Vernon

REW's Vernon MLS® listings are updated regularly, so you're always working from current inventory. Filter by property type, price range, and bedroom count to narrow things down faster. Common property types in Vernon include:

• Detached houses: Detached homes make up the bulk of the Vernon market, from older bungalows on big lots in the core to newer lake-view builds in the Foothills and up at Predator Ridge.

• Townhouses: Townhomes are a practical entry point, with a lot of newer complexes built around Middleton Mountain and the south end aimed at downsizers and first-time buyers.

• Condos and apartments: Condo inventory is concentrated downtown and near the beaches, and it tends to appeal to retirees, seasonal owners, and anyone wanting a lower-maintenance place near the lakes.

• Duplexes: Duplexes turn up across the older neighbourhoods and work well for buyers after a mortgage helper or a multigenerational setup, often at a lower price point than a comparable detached home.
