How to Compare Condo Floor Plans in Kelowna

Learning how to compare condo floor plans takes one habit: stop treating square footage as the answer. It is the one figure every listing shares, and it hides how the space is used.

Below is what to check on any plan, then a finder that lets you filter and compare Serenity's ten plans side by side.

Short answer

To compare condo floor plans, look past square footage: trace the path from the front door, check where the windows sit, and confirm storage and outdoor space. Divide the area by the number of bedrooms as a quick check. Serenity's plans give between about 347 and 660 square feet per bedroom.

Plans at Serenity: 10; 7 condo layouts and 3 townhome layouts.
Size range: 660 to 1,050 sq ft; Approximate interior area, from the plan drawings.
Least area per bedroom: 347 sq ft; Type F, three bedrooms in 1,040 sq ft.
Most area per bedroom: 660 sq ft; The one-bedroom Types D1 and D2, 660 sq ft each.

Each number is read from the sources listed at the end of this guide on October 16, 2026.

Trace the flow, not just the rooms

Walk the plan mentally from the front door. Where does the kitchen sit relative to the living and dining space, and does the home read as open or chopped into boxes? A kitchen open to the living area, the layout Serenity uses across its homes, makes a smaller footprint feel larger than the number suggests.

Check how you reach the bedrooms and bathrooms. A plan that routes everything through the living room works differently from one with a short hall.

Check natural light and window placement

Full-height windows change how a room feels more than fifty extra square feet. Look at where windows sit, which rooms get direct light and whether each bedroom has its own window or borrows light from elsewhere.

Storage and outdoor space, specifically

A plan can hide a lot in symbols. Check for a dedicated storage locker beyond the closets, and confirm whether a balcony or patio is included and how big it is. Serenity's plan drawings label in-suite laundry, the entry closet and bedroom closets. Locker details have not been published.

Use area per bedroom as a quick check

Dividing interior area by the number of bedrooms shows how a plan spends its space. At Serenity the answer runs from about 347 square feet per bedroom in Type F (1,040 sq ft, three bedrooms) to about 660 in the one-bedroom Types D1 and D2. The two-bedroom condos sit at about 480. Neither end is better. The number tells you what you are trading: more bedrooms in a similar area, or more room in each.

Compare plans of the same type first. A townhome and a condo of the same size spread their area over different layouts, as the townhome guides explain.

A worked example with real plans

Area per bedroom is a quick way to put plans of different sizes on the same footing. The table shows Serenity's condo plans so you can see how it behaves across one building. The City plans for 2.15 people per new household, which is a reminder that most homes serve one to three people.

Plan	Bedrooms	Interior sq ft	Sq ft per bedroom
Type D1	1	660	660
Type D2	1	660	660
Type G1	2	960	480
Type G2	2	960	480
Type H	2	955	478
Type F	3	1,040	347

Match the plan to the person

A downsizer should look at stairs, door widths and whether the main living areas are on one level, since a single-level condo and a two-level townhome of the same area live differently. A first-time buyer should look at storage and at whether a second bedroom can also serve as a home office.

A professional who works from home should check where a desk would sit and how much daylight reaches it. A buyer relocating from another province should check whether the plan has a guest room that can host family for a long visit, and a place to put winter gear.

Questions buyers ask next

Is more square footage always better?

No. A plan's layout decides how usable the area is. Two condos of the same size can differ in how much of the area is hallway, how many walls the furniture can use and how much light each room gets. Compare the drawing as well as the number.

How many square feet should a condo have per bedroom?

There is no standard. At Serenity the ten plans run from about 347 to 660 square feet per bedroom, so use the figure to compare plans in the same building and against the homes you are leaving.

Do the floor plans show the view or the floor level?

Not for Serenity. No floor level, view or exposure has been assigned to any plan, so a plan page describes a home type, not a specific unit.

What does area per bedroom tell you?

It is the interior area divided by the number of bedrooms, a quick way to compare plans of different sizes. At Serenity it runs from 660 sq ft for the one-bedroom Type D1 to 347 for the three-bedroom Type F. It does not show how usable the space is, so read the drawing too.
