Why Do Professional Love Summit Village Residences?
If you’re a business professional looking for an apartment on Summit Drive, there are many good reasons to choose Summit Village Residences. A convenient, central location, modern design and apartment amenities top the list.
This year, Summit Village Residences celebrates its 10th anniversary. Our two buildings (1415 and 1425 Summit Drive) opened in 2014 and were quickly rented, due to the high demand of TRU students, local singles and couples. As part of a 10-year review, we looked at our building’s tenant demographics and how they have changed in the last decade. Although our tenants are from many walks of life and backgrounds, we noticed a significant increase in the number of renters who are professionals or service-sector employees. These include law enforcement officers, emergency services staff, hospital/medical/dental workers, rail employees, TRU staff, downtown office workers, and others.
The following are a few reasons why professionals choose to live at Summit Village Residences.

Population Growth
Kamloops has grown significantly during the past decade. More people, and thus more professionals, are moving to our beautiful city. According to Statistics Canada, in 2021 the population of the City of Kamloops was 97,902 – an increase of 8.4% over the 2016 population of 90,280. To put that growth in perspective, the provincial average growth from 2016 to 2021 was 7.6% and the national average was 5.2%.
Kamloops area population growth is even more startling if you count all communities in the Kamloops Census Metropolitan Area, which includes the City of Kamloops, Sun Peaks, Logan Lake, and Chase. As reported by Kamloops Radio NL News, in 2016, the Kamloops CMA population was 103,811, which grew to 114,142 in 2021 – an increase of 10% – making Kamloops the third fastest growing Central Metropolitan Area in Canada at the time of the 2021 census.
