With a population of approximately 5,006 residents, it serves as a quiet residential and recreational destination between the cities of Kelowna and Penticton. The community developed historically as an agricultural area, with peach orchards giving the locality its name, though fruit farming has largely given way to residential development and tourism-related activities.
The town offers access to outdoor recreation including swimming, boating, and fishing on Okanagan Lake, as well as hiking trails in the surrounding Interior plateau landscape.

The area experiences a semi-arid climate typical of the Okanagan, with warm, dry summers and moderate winters, making it attractive to those seeking a smaller-town lifestyle within the region’s popular wine country.
