KELOWNA NEIGHBOURHOOD GUIDE
Glenmore, Kelowna
A family-friendly neighbourhood just minutes from downtown Kelowna — schools, golf, parks and room to grow. A guide for move-up families buying or selling in Glenmore.
About Glenmore
Glenmore is an established family neighbourhood set in a valley on the north side of Kelowna, tucked between Knox Mountain to the west and Dilworth Mountain to the east. It is close enough for an easy commute — about 10 minutes to downtown — yet distinctly suburban, with large yards, quiet streets and a strong sense of community.
It is one of the most practical move-up choices in Kelowna: four schools within the neighbourhood (including French Immersion), the Kelowna Golf & Country Club walkable from many homes, and parks, trails and sports fields throughout. Sub-areas run from the central Glenmore Valley to North Glenmore, Dilworth Mountain and the lakeside McKinley bench — so families can move up without ever leaving the area.
Why move-up families choose Glenmore
- Four schools within the neighbourhood — including French Immersion — meaning short commutes.
- Large family lots and a genuine suburban feel, minutes from downtown.
- Kelowna Golf & Country Club walkable or cart-accessible from many homes.
- Knox Mountain Park, trails, an off-leash dog park and sports fields nearby.
- Major park upgrades planned by 2027 (pickleball, splash park, playground, skate park).

Thinking of selling your Glenmore home?
Glenmore buyers range from first-time families chasing schools to executives after a Dilworth view. A central Glenmore Valley bungalow, a North Glenmore family home and a Dilworth view property each attract different buyers and price differently — pricing and marketing to the right pool is what sells Glenmore homes for more, faster.
