55+ & 45+ Communities in Kelowna

A 55+ (or 45+) community is a strata development with an age-restriction bylaw — usually requiring at least one resident per unit to be above the stated age, with no children living there permanently. They're popular with downsizers for the predictability: no loud teenagers next door, generally well-kept common areas, and often a built-in social calendar.

MLS® data doesn't have a standard "55+" field, so the live listings below are matched by searching each description for age-restriction language. It will miss some genuine 55+ listings whose description didn't happen to mention it — contact us for a complete, manually-checked list for any specific building.

55+ Communities — FAQ

What's the difference between 45+ and 55+ communities?

The number refers to the minimum age required for at least one resident per unit under the strata's bylaws. 45+ communities are less common and slightly more flexible than 55+, but both restrict permanent residency by children. Always confirm the exact bylaw wording for a specific building — they vary.

Can my adult children or grandchildren visit?

Yes — age restrictions apply to permanent residency, not visitors. Most 55+ bylaws allow guests to stay for a defined period (often a set number of days per year), which varies by strata. Confirm the specific bylaw before assuming.

Are pets allowed in 55+ communities?

It depends entirely on the individual strata's bylaws — some allow pets with size/number restrictions, others don't. This is one of the details worth confirming before you fall in love with a specific unit.

Do 55+ communities have extra fees?

Like any strata, 55+ buildings charge monthly strata fees that vary by building — often somewhat higher than a standard condo if the community includes extra amenities (clubhouse, activities, landscaping). Fees are building-specific; there's no single number that applies across all of them.
