Getting around

Southwest Mission is a very good part of Kelowna for getting around by car. It is especially convenient to come across a parking spot. On the other hand, the transit infrastructure in this area is not very convenient. Nonetheless, the sector is connected by a few bus lines, and it is very easy to find a nearby bus stop from most houses. Bicycling is sometimes difficult in this area as riding is made strenuous by the typically sloping terrain. Nonetheless, the cycling network is good. This part of the city is also not very convenient for those who get around as pedestrians since most daily needs are challenging to carry out without a car.

Everyday essentials

Property owners in Southwest Mission will welcome that a grocery store is always only a rather long stroll away. There are also a few opportunities for those who value nearby restaurants. As far as education is concerned, in Southwest Mission, parents and their children will generally be able to reach daycares and primary schools as pedestrians. In contrast, high schools are not plentiful and therefore tend to require a very long trip to get to.

Surrounding homes

Single detached homes are the most common housing type, representing roughly 85% of dwellings in Southwest Mission, and the remaining houses are mainly duplexes. This area is particularly good for those looking for four or more bedroom homes. About 90% of the population of this sector own their home and renters make up the remainder. A majority of the housing growth in this area has occurred after the year 2000.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before you
call it home.

What do the location scores measure?

Local Logic supplies individual access and character scores on a 0–5 scale for the recorded coordinates. Consider each measure separately; we do not calculate an overall livability rating.

Are the distances walking times?

No. Distances are straight-line measurements from the project reference. Open directions to check a walking, cycling, transit or driving route.

Does a nearby school guarantee admission?

No. Confirm attendance boundaries, programs, capacity and registration requirements with the relevant school board.

Do the demographic figures describe future residents?

No. They describe the existing population in the provider’s surrounding study area. They do not predict the buyers or future residents of this project.
