Why people love East Hill
East Hill is one of Vernon's oldest and most established neighbourhoods, rising just east of downtown. In the 1890s it was where Vernon's merchants and professionals chose to build, and some of those grand homes still stand along Pleasant Valley Road, including the 1895 Sommerville House, now the Caetani Cultural Centre.
Today it's a mix of heritage homes, mid-century houses and newer infill on tree-lined streets, many with mountain or valley views. You can walk or bike to downtown's shops and restaurants, and Vernon Secondary School is right in the neighbourhood.
What you can buy here
- Heritage and character homes on mature, treed lots.
- Family homes close to schools and parks.
- Townhomes and newer infill, for a lower-maintenance option near downtown.
Buying an older home? Budget for a thorough inspection and ask about the heritage status of the property. I'll help you work through it.
