The latest developments occuring are world-class golf resort The Rise and continued lakeview home development on streets such as Lakeridge Drive overlooking Kin Beach and Okanagan Lake. From this prime lakeview area including Jasper Drive, Appaloosa Way and Bella Vista Road, many Vernon BC homes both older and new enjoy full valley views of the City of Vernon, across the valley to The Commonage and Okanagan Landing neighbourhoods, and of course the spectacular view down Okanagan Lake towards Carrs Landing and the beginnings of Adventure Bay which borders Bella Vista on the north side.

  Bella Vista neighbourhood is the scenic hillside above Okanagan Lake with panoramic views on the north side. Bella Vista Road is the main road through the neighbourhood and comes directly from Downtown Vernon along 30th Avenue which is Vernon BC's main downtown street. Bella Vista Road is literally the high road leaving downtown neighbourhoods and rises quickly above South Vernon and Okanagan Landing neighbourhoods to travel along the north side of Okanagan Lake. Tronson Road is parallel below Bella Vista Road and it travels along the waterfront. The Bella Vista neighbourhood begins with the condo and townhouse strata communities of Bella View on 27th Avenue, Vista Ridge on Bella Vista Road. Branching off Bella Vista are areas of family houses on Heritage Drive, Allenby Way and smaller streets which connect with Okanagan landing below.
