Lister is a small, distinct rural neighbourhood located approximately 17 kilometres north of downtown Creston along Highway 21, sitting in the scenic valley between the Purcell and Selkirk mountain ranges. While administratively part of the greater Creston area, Lister maintains its own identity as a separate pocket community, clustered around the Lister area near the shores of Kootenay Lake's southern arm. The neighbourhood is defined by its lakeside location and agricultural surroundings, with properties generally extending from the highway westward toward the water. Lister functions as a gateway to the lake's recreational amenities and is neighboured by other small lakeside settlements along this northern corridor from Creston. The housing character in Lister reflects its rural, lakeside setting, with predominantly single-family homes situated on larger parcels that offer space, privacy, and often mountain or water views. The building stock is mixed in age, ranging from older character homes and cottages dating back several decades to more recently constructed residences that take advantage of the area's natural beauty. Properties tend to feature spacious lots with room for gardens, outbuildings, and outdoor living, contributing to an established, low-density feel. Current listings in the area reflect this character, with homes typically offering around three to four bedrooms and priced roughly between $595,000 and $765,000, showcasing a range of styles from modest older builds to updated family homes suited to those seeking a quieter, rural lifestyle near the lake.
