Kelowna Neighbourhood Guide
Ellison Real Estate — Kelowna, BC
Acreages and country homes minutes from the airport and UBCO — rural life on the city's doorstep.
Working land minutes from the runway and campus
The feel
Ellison is the farm-and-acreage belt northeast of the city, wrapped around the airport and university lands. It offers something increasingly rare: genuine rural property — pasture, hobby farms, big shops — within fifteen minutes of UBCO, the airport, and Rutland's full amenities.
It draws buyers who need space that works: trades with equipment, families with horses, and investors watching the university corridor grow toward them.
Homes and prices
The stock is acreage homes, hobby farms, and rural residential parcels, typically roughly $900K to $2M-plus depending on land, outbuildings, and ALR status. Suites and secondary dwellings are common — and rules matter. (Ask me before you count on rental income from a rural parcel.)
Country homes on the city's doorstep
Living here — amenities at a glance
Parks & rec: Ellison Heritage Community Hall anchors the community, with ball diamonds and rural parkland; Postill Lake's fishing lakes sit in the hills above (kelowna.ca).
Golf: Kelowna Springs and the airport-corridor courses are minutes away.
University & airport: UBCO and YLW are both under 15 minutes — the shortest "rural commute" in the region.
Shopping, rinks & library: Rutland's full amenity set — shopping centres, arena, Okanagan Regional Library branch — is the neighbourhood's service core.
Schools & daycares: The area is served by School District 23 — verify exact catchments on their site — and licensed daycares and preschools operate in and around the area; search live availability on the BC child care map.
