Close to downtown and the lake, with the distances measured.
1085 Martin Avenue, at the corner of Gordon Drive.
Short answer
From the building it is a 4-minute walk to a grocery store, a 4-minute drive (or a 22-minute walk) to downtown Kelowna, a 5-minute drive to the Kelowna Yacht Club on Okanagan Lake, and a 6-minute drive to both Kelowna General Hospital and the Okanagan College campus. Serenity is not on the waterfront: the lake is a short drive away, not a walk.
Closer in, Martin Park is a 4-minute walk and the Okanagan Rail Trail a 10-minute walk. The City of Kelowna’s development permit report counts 9 bus stops within 300 metres, on Gordon Drive and Bernard Avenue.

The neighbourhood, in plain terms
What Central City puts within reach.
Okanagan Lake is a short drive, not a walk. The Kelowna Yacht Club, at 1370 Water Street, is a 5-minute drive from the front door. Serenity is not on the waterfront. What you get is the lake within minutes and a residential block to come home to.
Downtown, measured to Water Street and Bernard Avenue, is a 4-minute drive or a 22-minute walk, about 1.6 km. The City of Kelowna’s 2040 Official Community Plan projects 6,939 new homes in the Downtown Urban Centre by 2041, more than any other growth area. Read how that compares with the rest of the city.
Knox Mountain Park is a 9-minute drive away. The nearest Okanagan Rail Trail access is a 10-minute walk, about 750 m, and Mission Creek Golf Club is a 5-minute drive. Environment Canada’s 1991 to 2020 normals for Kelowna show about 126 days a year when the high passes 20 °C, so the outdoor season is long.
Sandhill Wines and Red Bird Brewing share a corner on Richter Street, about 3 minutes by car. Bernard Avenue’s restaurants and shops are on the downtown route. The map below lists nearby places by category, each with its Google rating and review count.
Kelowna General Hospital is a 6-minute drive, a 11-minute bike ride or a 26-minute bus ride. Okanagan College is a 6-minute drive, UBC Okanagan a 15-minute drive (11.3 km) and Kelowna International Airport a 15-minute drive. See the hospital commute in detail.
Serenity is 33 condos and townhomes at Gordon Drive and Martin Avenue, developed by PashCon Developments. The About page covers the project and the team, and the developer page covers PashCon’s record.
