Glenmore Kelowna real estate and homes for sale
Glenmore in brief: Glenmore is the large valley area directly north of downtown Kelowna, five to ten minutes from the waterfront. Established detached homes run roughly $800,000 to $1,200,000, and newer hillside homes in Wilden and on Dilworth Mountain range from $1,100,000 past $2,000,000. It is one of Kelowna's strongest family markets, anchored by sought-after elementary catchments and a short commute.
The area runs from the flat, tree-lined streets near the core up into the newer hillside communities that climb toward Knox Mountain and Dilworth Mountain. The appeal is convenience paired with variety: a short drive to downtown and the lake, quiet family streets, strong school catchments, and everything from postwar bungalows to brand new executive homes. Buyers here range from young families after established single-family stock near Glenmore Elementary to move-up buyers eyeing the hillside builds in Wilden.

The Glenmore housing market
Glenmore is primarily a single-family market, with a growing share of townhomes and condominiums in the newer hillside developments. Established detached homes in the valley core typically fall between $800,000 and $1,200,000, depending on lot size, updates, and proximity to schools. Larger and newer homes on Dilworth Mountain and in Wilden generally run from $1,100,000 well past $2,000,000 for custom builds with Okanagan Lake and valley views. These bands sit in the heart of the wider Kelowna market.
Townhomes generally sit between $600,000 and $900,000, and condominiums, concentrated in the newer multi-family projects, begin in the mid $400,000s. Inventory in the established valley moves quickly because of the school catchments and the short commute, while the hillside communities offer more new-construction choice. New building continues in Wilden, where several phases and home styles remain in active development.

Glenmore neighborhoods and sub-areas
Glenmore Valley
The established heart of the area, made up of flat, walkable streets around Glenmore Road, High Road, and Summit Drive. Homes are mostly detached, many on generous lots, and the location is hard to beat for families who want to be minutes from downtown, Knox Mountain, and the Kelowna Golf and Country Club.
Wilden
Wilden is Glenmore's master-planned hillside community, built with a nature-first design around ponds, trails, and preserved green space. It offers some of the newest housing in the area, from single-family homes to select townhome enclaves, with many lots capturing valley and lake views.
Dilworth Mountain
Rising between Glenmore and the highway, Dilworth Mountain is a sought-after hillside pocket known for its views and central location. Homes tend toward the executive end, and the elevation delivers sweeping outlooks over the city and Okanagan Lake.
North Glenmore
To the north, North Glenmore is a family-focused extension with its own elementary catchment and a mix of established and newer homes. It is a natural next step for buyers who want a quieter setting a little further from the core.
Glenmore Highlands and Brandt's Creek
These pockets round out the area with a blend of hillside and valley-floor homes. Brandt's Creek sits closer to the commercial edge near downtown, offering some of the more affordable entry points, while the Highlands climb toward better views and newer stock.
Glenmore community features and highlights
Knox Mountain Park and recreation
Knox Mountain Park anchors the southern edge of Glenmore and is one of Kelowna's most loved natural areas. Its hiking and mountain-biking trails, the paved road up to the Pilot Point lookout, and the panoramic views over the lake and downtown make it a daily amenity for many residents.
Golf and the country club
The Kelowna Golf and Country Club, one of the oldest courses in the Interior, sits at the southern edge of Glenmore, a short drive or walk from much of the valley core.
Parks and trails
Beyond Knox Mountain, the area is served by Glenmore Recreation Park with its sports fields, and by the trails and ponds woven through Wilden. Parkinson Recreation Centre, just south toward downtown, adds pools, courts, and programs.
Schools
Glenmore is one of Kelowna's stronger family markets in part because of its school catchments. Glenmore Elementary and North Glenmore Elementary both serve the area and are among the more sought-after public catchments in the city, alongside Watson Road Elementary. Dr. Knox Middle School and Kelowna Secondary School serve older students. Families considering independent options often look at Aberdeen Hall Preparatory Academy near UBC Okanagan, Kelowna Christian School, and Immaculate Conception in the Lower Mission, along with Balsam school downtown.
Shopping and amenities
Everyday shopping is close at hand along Glenmore Road and at the commercial nodes toward downtown, with full grocery, dining, and services minutes away. Downtown Kelowna, the waterfront, and the cultural district are all a short drive from most Glenmore addresses.
