Valleyview Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Valleyview offers a slower-paced environment and will appeal to home buyers who enjoy spending time outdoors. This neighbourhood is fairly good for those who need a quiet atmosphere, as the streets tend to be reasonably peaceful - however noise can be problematic near the railway line, Yellowhead Offramp Highway or Trans-Canada Highway. Finally, green spaces, such as Capilano Park and Exhibition Park, are very well-distributed and there are about 20 of them nearby for residents to enjoy, making them easy to get to from the majority of locations in this part of the city.

Transportation

The preferred way to get around in this part of the city is usually a car. It is very easy to park, and many properties for sale are a very short drive from the closest highway, such as Trans-Canada Highway. However, residents using public transit may have limited choices in Valleyview as a result of the infrequent service. Nevertheless, the neighbourhood is served by a few bus lines, and most residences are very close to a bus stop. Bicycling is at times challenging in Valleyview since there is a considerable amount of hills, and there are few bike lanes. Getting around on foot is also not very practical for house buyers in Valleyview because very few daily needs can be carried out without a vehicle.

In this part of Kamloops, the majority of buildings are single detached homes, and the rest of the houses are mainly small apartment buildings. About 45% of properties in this neighbourhood were built in the 1960s and 1970s, while many of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 2000s. This part of the city has a good choice of housing sizes, ranging from lofts to four or more bedrooms.
