Kelowna's Black Mountain is this week's feature neighbourhood!
Black Mountain is a rural neighbourhood located south east of Kelowna. The first homes were built predominately on larger ¼ acre lots in the 1970's. The newer built homes feature incredible panoramic views that stretch from Okanagan Lake to Kelowna International Airport. Kirschner Mountain is located adjacent to Black Mountain with newly developed subdivisions that are mainly "Craftsman" style exterior finishes and have reasonable sized front and back yards. Highway 33 takes you directly into the heart of Black Mountain which allows its residents quicker access to Big White Ski Resort. A brand new golf community fittingly named "Black Mountain" has been established and is known for its very challenging 18-hole course. The Black Mountain Irrigation District is responsible for thousands of customers who reply on this group for clean drinking water. This spring also saw the return of the Black Mountain Rodeo where cowboys from all over Western Canada come to strut their stuff and wow local crowds!
Housing in this area continues to be in high demand for young professionals and families. Every amenity imaginable is located mere minutes away in Rutland. Black Mountain Elementary is an award winning local school. "Close but not too close" to the city is what best describes this family oriented neighbourhood.
