No problem, always happy to help. I'll get slated (again) over this but I just find KV boring, plastic, and Stepford-ish. Plus there is what whole one-road in/out aspect, small yards, rooftop views, Truman Show-esque bizarre snobbery aspect to it. It's kinda like a place that's not a real reflection of everyday life, you know.

And it's teeming with Brits (soccer club stickers in car windows etc) which is OK if you like that sort of thing but who really wants to move to Little Britain ? Dilworth will have a few, but not on the scale of KV/UM. You're probably more likely to meet a mix of out-of-town migrants, Swiss, Germans, Italians etc.

Sometimes it's nice not to go where the flock of sheep is going and veer leftfield a little.

We have a house on Quail Ridge. This is two minutes from Kelowna airport (which you say would be good to be near). The houses are lovely up there - on a golf course - and we have found lovely neighbours too. There are a few Brits living there but they seem to be behaving themselves!!!

Hi,

We (myself, wife and 2 youngsters) live in Dilworth. Rich007's description is pretty accurate and we love it here. It's just a short drive from most facilities, buts feels like it's a million miles away from the hustle and bustle.

I'll PM you with our contact details in case you have any other specific questions, or just want some photos sending.

Regards and good luck with your move,
Paul

I live pretty close to Kettle Valley and although most of the descriptions are accurate I'd like to say something about it being a supposed 'Little Britain'. If you're on the hunt for Man U shirts, I'm afraid you won't find many around there. I know a lot of people and have a lot of friends from Kettle Valley and only 2 of the families are Brits. Take a walk to the park one day and chat to people, you'll find that most are moving there from Alberta and Vancouver, mixed in with a scattering of Philipino nannies!
Most British families I know live on the West Side, so if you're looking for Brits to be around, move there.
