Welcome to PrincetonRealEstate.ca!

Whether you're looking for retirement, recreation, or just a change of pace - Princeton, British Columbia is the natural choice. The area offers an active retirement lifestyle, whether hiking the mountains for views of the valley, golfing the excellent 18 hole course, or fishing the calm and peaceful lakes. Either way you'll notice it's a breath of fresh air.

Recreational properties are very popular because of a true 4 season climate that offers so much to do including: X-country skiing or mountain biking the China Ridge Trails, boating on Missezula, Otter or Allison Lakes, and quading or snowmobiling the seemingly endless logging roads, trails and alpine mountains.

Princeton is centrally located and is the gateway to the Okanagan. It's easily accessible for family and friends to visit, a short drive to Manning Park or Apex Mountain ski resorts, and allows you to easily shop and visit surrounding cities.

The valley also has a lot of history behind it. It can be experienced by climbing the stairs along steep cliffs and deep tunnels of Hedley's gold mines, quading the old coal tram lines in Coalmont's mountains, or exploring the rivers and rail tunnels of the Kettle Valley Railway.
