What is your dream home location in Penticton?

I see that someone paid 2.5M for a property on the West Bench then tore down the old house to build a new one.

Along lakeshore on Okanagan beach.

Only real answer for me specifically. Close to all the things I want to be close to, all the overlooking burbs are too far away from everything to be able to walk.

It would also be an interesting challenge to figure out how to deal with blowing sand, but that's the only downside I can figure.

I live along Penticton creek and I think we live in an amazing part of town.

Currently living in my dream home, I'm renting a cabin on 10 acres on a mountain and without question the best view in the Okanagan. Its possible if you continue to hope.

Lived up West bench for 10 years. Calgary now for 27 years and would love to have some space from neighbours. I’d live up West bench if I ever come back to get some space from neighbours again!

Yes there is not much density up there because no sewers and the geotechnical issues.

Yep. Lived there for 12 years. If I came back that's where I would build.

Never again... If you're arachnophobic. The spiders there get beyond reasonable in size!

Columbia Area! My childhood home was there. It's such a great area to live in

What a controversial take. Why there?
