About Rick and Brenda
Hillside neighbourhoods above Kelowna reward a bit of extra planning before you set out, since the streets rarely run in a straight line once you leave the valley floor. Rick and Brenda operates at 3475 Granite Close, in Wilden, a forested master planned community built around ponds, trails and newer single family streets in the hills above Glenmore. Streets up here are quiet, curved and well treed, a long way in feel from the arterials down on the valley floor even though the drive between them takes only minutes.
Some practical advice for anyone finding 3475 Granite Close for the first time. Hillside addresses in Kelowna are easy to mis-navigate, since closes and crescents loop back on themselves and the numbering does not always run the way a stranger expects, so it is worth checking the route properly before setting out rather than trusting a turn by turn instruction at the last corner. In a neighbourhood built this way there is nothing within walking distance, so bring what you need with you. Parking is on the street or a driveway rather than in a lot, and a winter morning on a hillside grade deserves more care than the same trip on the flat.
What the hill gives back is the quiet and the trees that give Wilden its forested character, with a network of ponds and trails practically on the doorstep. The shops and schools of Glenmore are a short run downhill, with downtown, the waterfront parks and the beaches beyond that. Kelowna summers are hot and dry, and plan on driving for everything up here, which is the standing rule across this city rather than a quirk of one street.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
