Summerland Real Estate Market

The stunning town of Summerland has homes and properties to suit anyone's tastes. These are some of the areas around Summerland; Trout Creek, Prairie Valley, Garnet Valley, Downtown, and Crescent Beach.

Trout Creek has a combination of different styles and sizes of homes. Most of these homes are on smaller lots but provide proximity to the lake if they are not directly lakefront. Some newly constructed homes can also be found around this area.

Prairie Valley is another area where you will find larger lots with single-family detached homes, and many of which also have detached shops or barns. Homes in this area are built on rolling hills that boast gorgeous views of the surrounding orchards.

Lakefront properties can be found in the area of Crescent Beach and range in size and style. Adorable ranchers are perfect for someone looking to buy a summer vacation home. Or you can purchase a large family home for year-round living on the lake.

Out near Garnet Valley, large acreages are found. Many feature fully fenced properties and secondary outbuildings such as shops, barns, and storage buildings. Rural Summerland is a popular country neighbourhood with rancher-style houses and manufactured homes, and the Summokan Mobile Home Park is in this area.

With its sandy shore and sparkling water, Peach Orchard Beach Park is one of the most desirable swimming areas in Summerland. It offers a boat launch, a fenced dog beach, a kid’s playground, and waterpark, fire pits, volleyball, and plenty of shade trees to hide from the sun.
