Rutland

 

Rutland is a large neighbourhood about a 10-minute drive up Highway 97 from Downtown Kelowna. It is transected by Rutland Road and Highway 97, North-South and Old Vernon Road, Highway 33, and Springfield Road, East-West. While there is significant rise from the Western part of the neighbourhood moving East, most properties have level land, with only a few built along the hillside. Rutland is surrounded by the fields and orchards of Ellison, the hills of Black Mountain, and the backcountry. Rutland is the most affordable neighbourhood in Kelowna with a variety of housing including large estates, modest sized homes with larger lots and some with smaller lots, duplexes, multiplexes, townhouses, apartments, and even a few low rise condominiums. Most of Rutland is calm and quiet, the perfect to raise a family. It provides easy access to rest of the city and is only about a 10-minute drive from the Kelowna airport.

Rutland is home to five elementary schools, one middle school, and one secondary school. There are two dozen parks including three ball diamond parks, a large soccer field, and the large Ben Lee Park that offers plenty of open greenspace, a skate park, and waterpark with a concession during the summer months. For those that prefer the beach, it’s no more than 20-minutes from Okanagan Lake and about the same to Woods Lake and Ellison Lake in neighbouring Lake Country. Rutland is home to the Kelowna Family Y which offers numerous recreational activities and the Rutland Twin Arena. The neighbourhood has a central shopping zone with all the amenities you need from: shopping, banking, restaurants, coffee shops, and professional offices. In addition to the two grocery stores uptown, Rutland also borders the North end of the Central City neighbourhood making it a short drive to Real Canadian Superstore and Costco!

Black Mountain

Black Mountain is a quiet community on the Eastern edge of the City of Kelowna as you make your way Eastbound on Highway 33. It is a short 10-minute drive to the backcountry, a 30-minute drive to Big White Ski Resort, and jus a 15-minute drive to downtown. Black Mountain is perfect for families looking to stay away from the busier central neighbourhoods and definitely appeals to the outdoor adventurers.

Black Mountain borders the backcountry to the East, the Rutland neighbourhood to the Northwest, the East Kelowna neighbourhood to the Southwest and the Mission Creek Canyon to the South.

The neighbourhood is made up of the area surrounding Kirschner Mountain on the South side of Highway 33 and the area at the base of Black Knight Mountain on the North side.
