Tronson Road leaves the edge of downtown Vernon and follows the north shore of the Vernon Arm of Okanagan Lake toward Okanagan Landing. Below the road are waterfront estates and lakeshore homes on large rural lots; above it, Bella Vista's view homes, orchards and vineyards.

What you'll find
- Waterfront estates on large lots
- Older lakeshore homes that are prime candidates for renovation or rebuild
- Bella Vista view homes and estate lots up the hill (lake view, not waterfront)
What to check
- Rebuild potential. New building or landscaping within 30 m of the lake generally needs an environmental assessment, and the flood construction level can dictate how high the main floor must be. See the shoreline rules guide.
- Steep banks and retaining walls. New erosion protection below the natural boundary needs a provincial change approval. Get a geotechnical opinion on any tall or tiered walls.
- Septic versus sewer for the specific address.
- The road. Tronson Road is narrow and winding. Plan for that with a trailer or a daily commute.
