Kettle Valley is built on the footprint of the Kettle Valley Railway — chief engineer Andrew McCulloch's remarkable 1910-1916 construction that named all its stations after Shakespeare. The iconic Myra Canyon trestles (18 wooden trestles, 2 tunnels) are a National Historic Site of Canada and accessible directly from the neighbourhood. Today Kettle Valley is one of Kelowna's most family-oriented master-planned communities.

How Kettle Valley Compares to the Rest of Kelowna
Context matters. Here is what your dollar gets you across Kelowna neighbourhoods:
Kettle Valley at $1.2M: A newer detached home with KVR trail access, family-oriented community planning, excellent schools proximity.
Upper Mission at $1.2M: A newer home with lake views from hilltop position — different views but less defined trail community.
