Before choosing a property, consult:

Map or resource

Why it matters

District neighbourhood map

Helps identify the property’s local area and elevation

Official Community Plan maps

Shows land-use designations and potential growth

Zoning map

Identifies permitted uses and development regulations

Parks and trails map

Shows access to beaches, parks and hiking

SD23 school-catchment map

Confirms assigned schools by address

BC Transit Route 22 map

Shows transit stops and Westbank connections

Emergency and evacuation information

Helps with household wildfire preparation

Property-information records

Assists with permits, servicing and planning questions

Never rely solely on a marketing description to determine school catchment, zoning, suite legality or development potential.

Peachland Schools

Peachland Elementary serves students from kindergarten through Grade 5 and is located at 5486 Clements Crescent. Older students may attend schools elsewhere in the Westside area, depending on the current catchment boundaries and educational program. (Central Okanagan Public Schools)

The correct process is to enter the prospective property address into School District 23’s interactive catchment map. Catchments, transportation eligibility and program availability can change, so verify them directly before purchasing. (Welcome Centre)

Families should also consider:

Parks and Outdoor Recreation

Peachland’s location makes outdoor activity part of everyday life.

Popular local options include:

Centennial Walkway and Beach Avenue: A waterfront route connecting parks, beaches, cafés and community amenities.

Swim Bay: A designated swimming area with family-oriented waterfront facilities.

Hardy Falls Regional Park: A relatively easy walk through a shaded creek corridor to Hardy Falls.

Pincushion Mountain: A more challenging hike known for panoramic views over Peachland and Okanagan Lake.

Heritage Park: A downtown gathering place used for community celebrations, markets and events.

Okanagan Lake: Swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, boating and fishing are central to Peachland’s summer lifestyle.

The District reports approximately 64 hectares of parks and trails, while its waterfront and Swim Bay are among the community’s defining amenities. (District of Peachland)

Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Peachland’s entertainment scene is community-oriented rather than metropolitan.

Residents can participate in:

The community supports organizations involved in visual arts, history, folk-school programming and cultural events. Peachland’s 2026 Canada Day event, for example, was held at Heritage Park along Beach Avenue. (District of Peachland)

For major concerts, theatres, shopping centres and professional sports, residents generally travel to Kelowna or other regional centres.

Healthcare in Peachland

Healthcare planning should be completed before relocating, particularly for households that need frequent appointments or specialist care.

Peachland is part of Interior Health’s Central Okanagan-South primary-care area. Residents may need to travel to West Kelowna, Kelowna, Summerland or Penticton for many services. (Interior Health)

The West Kelowna Urgent and Primary Care Centre provides care for non-emergency concerns that need same-day attention. As of July 2026, it operated daily from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., including statutory holidays. It does not provide hospital emergency services. (Interior Health)

Before moving:

Anyone experiencing a medical emergency should call 9-1-1.
