hi im really hoping someone can help. we are a family from england with a 2 year old daughter, my partner has been offered a job with ATI telecommunications and we have the option of moving to Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria or Kelowna. After doing some research on all of them we have found that the climates and way of life is more suited to us in kelowna, i dont think i am up for -25 in Calgary just yet! Kelowna seems a more reasonable climate which will make adapting easier, and then we may look around at other areas as we become familiar with the way of life over there.
What i am struggling with and i hope someone can shed some light is what the prices are like in kelwona in relation to living costs. What the average monthly rent on a 3 bedroom house? Whats an average annual tax?How is food, fuel and transport priced? i have been looking everywhere to find this info and im struggling. I have read a few people say that its expensiveto live in kelowna, but yet Calgary, Victoria and Vancouver in surveys are said to be more expensive to live in.
Also if anyone could shed some light on the nicer residential areas of kelowna that are suitable for our needs which is good schooling and good access to shops etc. We are unsure if there are any areas 'to avoid' as such. Please Please help!!
