Quail Ridge is one of Kelowna's most convenient addresses for UBCO faculty, students and staff.

The university is a 12-minute walk or a 5-minute bike ride. BC Transit Route 13 connects directly to the UBC Okanagan Transit Exchange in just 8 to 10 minutes, with service timed to the academic calendar so it runs exactly when you need it most.

Day-to-day essentials are all within a 5-minute drive: Nester's Market, Pharmasave, several restaurants, and Starbucks are all just down the hill. Costco is 15 minutes away. Downtown Kelowna, with its waterfront, restaurants, and weekend farmers market, is 20 minutes away.

Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is 5 minutes from the front door, perfect for when you are arriving with research equipment or luggage, or heading home for the holidays. Direct flights serve Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Seattle.

The neighbourhood itself is quiet and residential. No late night noise, no student density issues. It is the kind of setting where you can decompress after a long day on campus.
