If you live in Vancouver you don't consider camas apart of Vancouver, it's definitely more expensive to live out there as well if you're going to go east of Vancouver washougal would be a better choice as far as value
Great info! Hubs just got the go ahead to work remote, so we're now researching possibilities. Wherever we end up, we'll need good high speed internet. We'd probably rent first though.
I'm looking to moving back to Washington, and making a trip up in late September. I'm interested in walkability. More for coffee shops, stores, and nature trails rather than bars. I'm close to retirement age but with no plans to retire. Also interested in the reality of getting to a decent ski area (I'm a former long-time Tahoe resident so good skiing, hiking and kayaking are priorities). I work with seniors so I am seeking an area where I can work with active people 55+. I will likely have to rent for a while and would be fine with an ADU.
I’ve lived in Vancouver off and on since 2013 I’ve lived on fourth plain in grand behind the new Walmart at Forest Glen Apartments I’ve also lived downtown Vancouver at Evergreen in on main street and where I live now is in Hazel Dell at Parklane Apartments
Hi there! I just watched this, and am interested in communities that are pedestrian- and bike-friendly. I am planning to check out Vancouver and Sequim in late September. I have just recently begun researching Vancouver. Although I am nearing retirement age, I'm still employed full-time. I work as a lifestyles and engagement coordinator for an Independent and Assisted Living community in Reno. I would love to continue to work with seniors, though with comparatively younger and more active ones. My questions are: 1) are there any walk-able, senior-friendly neighborhoods that would also provide good work opportunities (I plan to work in Washington); 2) is it possible to find reasonably priced rental units? I'll be looking for a one-bedroom, ADU, or even a studio while determining whether Washington will be feasible for the long haul; and 3) would you consider Mt. Hood to have the closest skiing? I've only skied Palmer Field, which was more novelty...love the idea of being able to ski almost year round. I'm a former long-time Tahoe resident, and love the outdoors...I also don't like heat and an overload of sun, so Washington has the perfect climate in my opinion. If you have any suggestions about how to find work and suitable rentals, that would be great. Thank you!
yes that is a great area right next to salmon creek which is a very nice area!! There is a lot of new construction in these areas for sure! You thinking of making a move there?
Hey! I’m moving next month to Vancouver but haven’t locked a place in just yet because everything is just coming available for July. I’m ideally looking to rent a house around the 2.2k area. Is cascade highlands a good area?
I'm finding people in Wa are getting angry with people moving there! A colleague of mine tried scaring me away from moving up there! Now I want to move up there even more! 😁
Do you ever work with people wanting to buy land and build a home? We're still a few years out but my wife is more interested in building a home vs buying
Not sure what the point of this video is. If people settle down in the areas you suggest, the higher property taxes and insurance will wipe out the whole reason why people retire there - to pay less tax on income (IRA, pension, etc.). I live in a quiet, crime free neighborhood near South Cliff with home values less than 300K.
I'm not trying to be negative, you guys are very talented, and thank you so much for everything you do, but... aren't you guys a little concerned about getting accused of "steering" or "blockbusting"? I was taught that it's illegal.
Generally anything (East of 205) is where you wanna be. Exception (Felida and some parts of Salmon Creek). If your looking for usable property check out Ridgefield, La Center, Hockinson, Brush Prairie, and Battleground. 25 YEAR RESIDENT!
That depends on what you want. If you want to live out on the edge of the city or in a suburb of a suburb, then yeah. Living in the city has a lot of benefits to it.
Vancover wa is ok but irs way to exspensive to live more and more.. Its discusting.. Ppl cant afford to live on there own anymore, unless you have a partner or roomate.. Why is it this way? Food, gas etc is going up too, ummm during this covid thing, they want to gouge ppl and not lower prices.. Its beautiful yes, but wa state is too exspensive, hot and humid more too.. Yuk.. Lol..
Stay on the map and stop with the incessant blathering. Point out what you talk about on the map. There is no information in looking at your talking head.
Take caution listening to advice from an expert who is trying to sell you something. Shop yourself. Use the internet. Stay closer to downtown. Some neighborhoods are not so great, some sleasey, some great and spendy. The burbs can be a commercial nightmare. Horrid traffic. Too many shopping malls. Real estate is one of the big rackets in this country. You can be scammed by builders, bankers and real estate agents. Take your time. I much prefer Vancouver to Portland but the commercial development will eventually wreck any place. We need more socialized housing for the common family. Who says you have to put your life savings into property........????

Will be relocating to Vancouver in June 2022!!!
I think you glossed over so many of the old neighborhoods west of I5. Lots of great character, parks, walkability, and close proximity to downtown.

I'm moving from Louisiana. How common is it to see folks from the south?
What are your thoughts on Barberton? I see a lot of new construction in that area and the neighborhood seems nice. Thanks!
yes that is a great area right next to salmon creek which is a very nice area!! There is a lot of new construction in these areas for sure! You thinking of making a move there?

Hey! I’m moving next month to Vancouver but haven’t locked a place in just yet because everything is just coming available for July. I’m ideally looking to rent a house around the 2.2k area. Is cascade highlands a good area?
What about housing for rental folk? I'm a musician and commercial painter looking to plant roots and settle down. Thanks for all the info! Cheers.
