ELLISON ELEMENTARY CATCHMENT HOMES FOR SALE

Ellison Elementary sits at 3735 Parkdale Road, in the heart of one of Kelowna's most genuinely rural neighbourhoods. The Ellison area begins at the junction of Old Vernon Road and Highway 97, just east of Kelowna International Airport, and fans out across an expanse of hobby farms, horse properties, orchards, and small acreages that earned the district its informal title as Kelowna's breadbasket. This is not a suburb that simply has larger lots. It is working agricultural land that happens to have families living on it, complete with farmgate stalls, wineries including Ancient Hill, and country roads lined with old growth trees and split-rail fences.

From Ellison Elementary (K-5), students continue on to middle and secondary school in neighbouring Rutland, roughly an 11-minute drive. The surrounding amenities are more spread out than in central Kelowna, with the main shopping corridors along Highway 97 and the Hwy 33 corridor approximately 15 minutes away. What the area trades in walkability it more than compensates for in space and lifestyle. The Okanagan Rail Trail runs through the area connecting north toward Vernon and south into Kelowna. Sunset Ranch Golf and Country Club is a short drive away. UBC Okanagan is just across the highway, and YLW is practically in the backyard, which matters considerably for buyers who travel frequently.

Housing in the Ellison catchment ranges from established single-family homes in the Scotty Creek subdivision near the school itself, to multi-acre equestrian estates, custom builds with Kalamalka or Okanagan Lake views, and the occasional vineyard property. Buyers relocating from Vancouver or Calgary consistently find the value proposition compelling, particularly on acreages where comparable properties in the Lower Mainland would carry a very different price conversation.
