Best Value for Townhomes: Rutland vs. Westbank Centre vs. Glenrosa
If you’ve been asking, “Where can I get the best value townhome in Kelowna right now?” — you’re not alone.
Townhomes are one of the most popular choices for buyers who want space, lower maintenance, and a better price than detached homes.
Three areas come up again and again: Rutland, Westbank Centre, and Glenrosa.
Each offers value — but in very different ways.
Let’s break it down.

-
Lower purchase prices than most of Kelowna

Glenrosa: Best Value for Space & Privacy
Why buyers choose Glenrosa:
-
Larger floor plans

Quieter, more residential setting
-
Often better value per square foot
What to watch out for:
-
