Welcome to The BX neighbourhood! A vast and rural Vernon neighbourhood where the majestic mountain views, clean air, open space, and privacy exemplify a quieter, country lifestyle. Silver Star Mountain Resort and the city of Vernon are all just minutes away! Named after the historic BX Ranch and the Barnard Express Stage that stopped here during the Cariboo Gold Rush era. Located east of downtown Vernon – south to Highway 6 and north to the Swan Lake junction on Highway 97, it offers easy access to all Vernon and area has to offer. The BX is also close to Silver Star Mountain Resort and Soveriegn Lake Nordic Centre. It’s also the last neighbourhood before you enter the Silver Star Provincial Park.
