When Vernon was created it was as if a master painter had taken his many hued palette and softly brushed in three beautiful lakes surrounded by picturesque hills; using the deep blue sky as a backdrop, he daringly added dashes of jade green, deep auburn and bright yellow. There is not a single area of Vernon’s real estate market that doesn’t come with a beautiful view.

Vernon’s real estate product is complemented by stunning lakes, world class skiing and winter activities. Active citizens can enjoy the beautiful hiking trails running through the majestic mountains while others might enjoy a relaxed wine tour or a trip to one of our fine spas.
