Why people love Turtle Mountain
Turtle Mountain is a hillside neighbourhood on the west side of Vernon, just above Alexis Park, and one of the closest view neighbourhoods to downtown. Wesbild bought the land in 2005 and started selling lots in 2006. The lots are tiered up the slope so homes look out over Okanagan Lake, Swan Lake and the city.
It was planned with nature in mind. Wildlife corridors run through the neighbourhood, the street lights are dark-sky friendly so you can still see the stars, and the Grey Canal Trail runs nearby. Design guidelines call for Craftsman and Prairie-style homes, which gives the streets a consistent, tidy look.
You drive in from 39th Avenue. Downtown Vernon and the hospital are about five to eight minutes away, which is a big part of the appeal for families and professionals.
What you can buy here
- Family homes, many with walkout basements, and many with suites.
- Newer homes around Turtle Pond: Turtle Pond Place and Turtle Pond Court are the newest phase, approved in 2023.

Selling a home in Turtle Mountain?
If you're thinking about selling, I can tell you what your home is worth in today's market and what buyers here are looking for. Here are the questions sellers ask me most.
What is my Turtle Mountain home worth?
I'll prepare a comparative market analysis using recent sales of similar homes in and around Turtle Mountain, adjusted for your home's size, condition, updates and views. It's free and there's no obligation. Request a free home valuation or call or text Sarah, my AI assistant, at 604-227-4810.
How long does it take to sell in Turtle Mountain?
That depends on price, condition and the season. When we meet, I'll show you how long similar homes have been taking to sell right now, and how pricing affects it.
What should I fix before listing my Turtle Mountain home?
Focus on what buyers notice first: fresh paint, small repairs, clean windows, tidy landscaping and good lighting. Skip big renovations unless they clearly pay back. I'll walk through your home and tell you what's worth doing.
Should I sell before I buy my next home?
It depends on the market and your finances. Selling first gives you certainty; buying first lets you take your time. I'll help you plan the timing, including subject-to-sale offers and bridge financing options.
What does it cost to sell a home in BC?
Commission in BC is always negotiable. My standard fee is 6% on the first $100,000 of the sale price and 3% on the balance, plus GST, shared equally with the brokerage that brings the buyer. On an $800,000 sale, for example, that's $6,000 + $21,000 = $27,000 plus GST. That covers a lot of work behind the scenes, from me and from the technology I put in place, all aimed at getting you the best price and the easiest possible sale. Your other costs are legal or notary fees and any mortgage discharge costs or penalties. In BC the buyer, not the seller, pays property transfer tax. I'll give you a net-proceeds estimate before you list.
