Aberdeen

Aberdeen, Kamloops Real Estate | Homes for Sale

Aberdeen is one of the most sought after neighbourhoods in Kamloops, and for good reason. Set on a hillside in the city’s southwest sector, it offers something that is hard to find anywhere else in Kamloops: brand new custom homes, sweeping city views, and a family friendly community that is still growing.

If you are looking for a home in Aberdeen, here is what you need to know about the area and the current market.

What Makes Aberdeen Different

Aberdeen sits at elevations ranging from 700 to over 1,000 metres above the city, which means a large number of homes enjoy panoramic views across Kamloops and the surrounding valley. That alone sets it apart.

The neighbourhood is a mix of housing built from the 1970s through to today, but what makes Aberdeen stand out is the ongoing new construction. Unlike many established Kamloops neighbourhoods where new builds are rare, Aberdeen continues to see custom home development on remaining lots and in newer phases. If you want a newer home with modern finishes, above average square footage, and quality construction, Aberdeen is one of the few places in Kamloops where that is consistently available.

The area is predominantly family oriented. You will find larger lot sizes, quiet streets, and a strong sense of community. Proximity to Kamloops’ main shopping centre, Aberdeen Mall, along with restaurants, services, and retailers along Columbia Street West, means residents get the benefit of a quieter hillside setting without being far from everyday conveniences.

Aberdeen Real Estate Market

Aberdeen sits at a higher price point than most Kamloops neighbourhoods, reflecting the quality of homes, the views, and the ongoing demand from families and move up buyers.

Current market snapshot for homes over the past 24 months (June ’24-June ’26):

• Single Family Freehold House – median sale price $902,000.00
• Townhouses – median sale price $550,000.00
• Apartments – median sale price $378,000.00

These figures reflect strong and consistent demand. Aberdeen has held its value well and continues to attract buyers who are looking for quality over compromise.

New construction homes in the area will typically come in above these medians depending on size, finishes, and view. Resale homes from the 1980s and 1990s offer entry points into the neighbourhood at comparatively lower price points, often with significant renovation potential.

Indy’s Take on Aberdeen

Aberdeen is a neighbourhood I have a lot of confidence in. The combination of new development activity, strong family demand, and limited supply of view lots means this area is not going to soften significantly. Buyers who get into Aberdeen tend to stay, and when they do sell, their homes move well.

The newer phases continue to attract custom builders and quality developers, which keeps the overall character of the neighbourhood strong. If you are a buyer considering Aberdeen, I would not wait on the assumption that prices will come down. The long term development plan for this area points to continued growth and investment.

For sellers, Aberdeen homes priced correctly and presented well consistently attract serious buyers. The profile of the Aberdeen buyer tends to be a dual income family, often relocating from the Lower Mainland or Okanagan, who has done their research and knows what they want.

Schools Serving Aberdeen

Aberdeen is well served by both English and French education options. I always recommend checking the SD73 School Catchment Map as Aberdeen is divided nearly equal between the two elementary and high school options with separate catchment for French Immersion.

English programs:

• Pacific Way Elementary School K-7
• Aberdeen Elementary School K-7
• Sahali Secondary School 8-12
• South Kamloops Secondary School 8-12

French Immersion:

• South Sahali Elementary School K-7
• South Kamloops Secondary School 8-12

Families with children will find that school access is one of Aberdeen’s genuine strengths, with multiple elementary options within the neighbourhood and two respected secondary schools serving the area.

Transit Access

Aberdeen is served by BC Transit Kamloops with routes connecting the neighbourhood to downtown Kamloops, Aberdeen Mall, and other areas of the city. The area’s hillside location means most residents rely primarily on personal vehicles for daily commuting, but transit options are available for those who need them. 

Long Term Development Outlook

The City of Kamloops Aberdeen Area Plan identifies the southwest sector, including Aberdeen, as a primary growth area for the city. The plan projects continued residential development with an emphasis on a mix of housing types, neighbourhood commercial services, parks, and improved transportation infrastructure.

This long term planning commitment from the City of Kamloops signals that Aberdeen will continue to grow in a managed, community focused way. For investors and buyers thinking about long term value, that is a meaningful indicator.
