Neighbourhood map
West Kelowna and Kelowna, on one map.
West Kelowna is on the west side of Okanagan Lake and Kelowna is on the east, joined by the William R. Bennett Bridge. Here's where each neighbourhood sits, what it's like in a line or two and which schools are in it. The numbers run from west to east.

Most of West Kelowna runs along Highway 97 from the bridge toward Peachland. Casa Loma and Lakeview Heights are closest to the bridge, while Westbank Centre is the town centre. Follow a linked name for the full guide.

Boundaries and markers are approximate only. They aren't official municipal boundaries, and the map isn't to be relied on for a specific property. West Kelowna Estates and Rose Valley are shown as one area. A school being in an area doesn't mean a home there is in its catchment, so check the Central Okanagan Public Schools catchment maps. Schools shown are public schools from the district's directory, plus École de l'Anse-au-Sable. School locations from City of Kelowna open data and the BC Address Geocoder, Casa Loma border from the City of West Kelowna, contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence.
