The Lower Mission is situated at the valley bottom just a short drive from Downtown or City Central, accessible by Pandosy Road (Lakeshore Road), Gordon Drive, and Benvoulin Road. The shores of Okanagan Lake, where you’ll find 3 of Kelowna’s top beaches and numerous other beach access areas, make up its Western boundary. The neighbourhood extends to Swamp Road to the East and encompasses the space between the Pandosy/KLO neighbourhood (KLO Road to the North) and the Upper Mission neighbourhood (Barnaby Road to the South). The Lower Mission is a highly sought after neighbourhood in part because it has many larger, flat lots, with mature surroundings. It’s close to the lake, there are numerous creeks, and many parks.
The Lower Mission also has excellent amenities within the community and in the neighbouring Pandosy/KLO neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is home to two elementary schools and one middle/secondary school; high school students attend one of two secondary schools, either in the South end of the neighbourhood or a less-than-5-minute drive (between about 500m and 3km away) in neighbouring Pandosy/KLO. The Lower Mission offers a incredible sports and recreation facilities including ice rink, indoor soccer fields, outdoor soccer fields, ball fields, swimming pool, exercise gyms, and library all in one area. Other amenities are mostly found in pockets along Lakeshore Road. All the amenities you need are right there including shopping, banking, restaurants, coffee shops, and more.
