Kelowna, British Columbia
About Kelowna BC: Kelowna (2007 population 123,456, metropolitan
population of 165,596) is a city on Okanagan Lake in the Okanagan Valley of
British Columbia, Canada.
Kelowna is the third-largest metropolitan area in British Columbia (after
the Vancouver and Victoria), and the largest in the British Columbia
Interior. With scenic lake vistas and a dry, mild Canadian climate, Kelowna
has become one of the fastest growing cities in North America. The
appropriate management of such rapid development (and its attendant
consequences) is a source of significant debate within the community.
Because of the Okanagan's climate and vineyard-filled scenery, it has
sometimes been compared to California. Kelowna Houses have an average value of over $450,000.
