A new development is on the rise in Kelowna, which is great news for those looking to purchase a brand new home in the coming year.
Phase one of the new development, University Heights by Ovation Homes and Whitfield Hall Developments, consists of 49 detached homes on Academy Way, just a short walk away from UBC Okanagan. The showhome is already open for viewing, and the official grand opening will take place on March 10th.
If you’re planning on purchasing a home in Kelowna, here are some reasons why University Heights should be on your radar.
The homes are customizable
At University Heights, you get to choose your preferred lot and home plan. You can then customize your plan with the sales team right there in the showhome, to ensure that your home best suits you and your family’s needs.

It’s a growing neighbourhood
There are several benefits to purchasing a home in a developing neighbourhood. Not only do you have more say in the exact location and design of your home, but you’re likely to reap financial benefits as the neighbourhood continues to grow and your home’s value rises.

The development is in an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts with several trails nearby, including Mill Creek Regional Park, Quail Ridge Linear Park, Carney Park and more. The area is also just a 20 minute drive away from Kaloya Regional Park on beautiful Kalamalka Lake, and several golf courses, such as The Okanagan Golf Club – Bear and Quail and Shadow Ridge Golf Club, can be found just around the corner. It’s easy to get your fill of nature when it’s right in your backyard!
There are amenities nearby
The Okanagan is one of the few places where you can live in the midst of nature, without being in the middle of nowhere. University Heights is a perfect example of this, with several amenities nearby, and new ones popping up all the time.

Thanks to new developments like the Airport Village, restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops and more are just minutes away.
University Heights is also just a 10 minute drive away from Lake Country’s major shopping centre, and minutes from the airport.
For any other needs, it’s just a 20 minute drive to downtown Kelowna, with many shops, restaurants and more along the way. This commute will become even shorter once construction of the new John Hindle Drive extension is complete in late 2018.
As far as education goes, you couldn’t get much better. University Heights is just a short distance away from both UBC Okanagan, Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School and Ellison Elementary School, making it a great option for families.
