To people who are acclimated to city life or if you come from a big modern city, Camas and its bubble surrounding areas are unwelcoming of transplants. It is slowly changing though because there are more transplants! If you've heard of the Seattle freeze, the essence of it is the same. It is also not diverse and the cars generally do not know how to keep right, they are always towards the middle. Cars generally also do not give way to pedestrians, and they will cut you off when you are backing up even if you are in the middle of backing up already.
Super informative. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice details Hal! I think it's worth mentioning in connection with Camas shopping -- Lutz Hardware, somewhat in the traditional hardware store vein with an impressive array of stuff, could be a convenient resource for some folks.
Thank you for adding that! I've never been to Lutz, but I love those traditional hardware stores! That's a great point. My favorite mug is from Ridgefield Hardware & Gift
Super helpful! Thank you for talking about the lesser known, but still important, topics! Nicely done👏🏻
Thank you for watching, and for the kind words! - Hal
Very good job..you covered lots of important information..thank you
Thank you for all the information. Personally, the mention for number 3 was a big factor not to live in Camas. I am glad that we are living in the area that we are now.
Good info. Our family moved to Vancouver, Wa. in 2018 right before Covid outbreak and found Camas to be quite expensive. We did buy a home of 3,000 sq. feet in Sherwood Heights for 500K, but it is an older home. One of our daughters will be relocating to Vancouver in a few years and we'll see what the prices are like then. I'll mention your name to her! Thanks for sharing this video.
Nice job, Hal! Good stuff!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for being honest and talking about sensitive issues.
I really appreciate you commenting to share that. It's a little uncomfortable, but it's worth people knowing everything they can before hand (especially the stuff that's not Googleable!)
Well done my friend. I personally know many transplants in Camas and I really like going downtown for antiques and restaurants in Camas. I believe you nailed it. I love that you mentioned that there is no perfect school anywhere, but the interesting thing about school districts to me is that it is a self fulfilling prophecy..... what I mean by that is that parents who are concerned about the school quality and seek out the better schools and pay for the privilege will very likely be the same parents who get involved in that school which helps with energy and funds and this creates a great environment and a good school.
Totally agree!
Great point Hans!
Updated intro is outstanding. Nice work!
Interesting how the taxes are MUCH less for the Camas home. Is that based on a older/lower sale price, or are property taxes that much lower there?
Thank you for #1 because I actually didn’t know it was more expensive 😂 never fear explaining the simple things to us viewers! We probably don’t know it😅
Good information!
Great job!
I appreciate you watching & saying that 😊
Vancouver also has an ice rink for your indoor activities list😊😊.
I forgot to mention that! I'm glad you added that ❤️
shopping is a big downer for this area very frumpy. You nailed it with Camas but it is amazing. The whole Vancouver Wa area needs better shopping.
Thank you for the validation! I'm always so interested to hear if other people share my perspectives
When I've searchin zillow, I've seen exactly same things about schools - in Camas school rating much better, than in Camas, but almost same as in Ridgefield. I don't have a kids or family, and don't wanna buy a house on street without at least few acres of land and, of course, no HOA. In Portland, most luxorious area is Portland heights, in my opinion. I'm truckdriver, but, when I stay home, I work on amazon flex and visited so much locations that very few other can imagine. Heights above downtown number one, then Happy Valley and may be Oswego lake
Looking very pretty
I'm torn between staying in the states or moving out the country altogether. I've been keeping up with your channel for a bit now. I'm definitely interested in the PNW.
I definitely need to visit.
Interesting. I grew up in the area and it sounds like things have shifted up in Camas. Wasn't like that in the 80's.
Yea, I have a friend who was in the first class to go through Dorothy Fox and we've talked so much about how things were back then.

"Social Status" living in Camas... LOL. I mean I prefer Camas over the surrounding area's, but definitely not for the "Social Status"
How is the area for black / mixed Americans?
We did a video about our experience: czcams.com/video/OUby2qb1RCg/video.html
Can we get a tour please and thank you
A tour of the city of Camas? Sure! Let me know if that's what you meant or if you were asking for something different
My family and I are moving to the Vancouver area, as I will be working in Portland. I’ve heard Camas is a good area, but I haven’t been told much about any other areas. We would love some information regarding other areas.
Why would you have to do private school in Vancouver but not in Camas?
You absolutely wouldn't have to. I think we have great schools in Vancouver. That being said, for some of my clients, they would have put their kids in private if they weren't in the Camas school district. It's just a personal preference. I always recommend reviewing school rankings, speaking/meeting with schools before you move, and even doing tours. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about a move! 360.818.4438
Cause Vancouver is shit stupid
Lived there for a few years recently. Yes the high school is outstanding. Yes there is status concerns, and the have and have nots. As a small isolated town, Camas gossip is rampant. None of my kids decided to stay after high school, which tells you something. It’s also got a religiously judgmental vibe. A good option for schools in Vancouver is Vancouver School for the Arts. So yes, for the most part I agree with you. It’s a small affluent town with not much to do but get in each others business. Thanks for tackling these subjects. People who have kids going to their schools should really do their specific research about race, academics, school clubs, gender, running start, ethnicity, sports, if these matter to your child. You might be surprised at what you discover. We don’t want children to be miserable. Camas is way different than Portland and not for everyone. I imagine you will remove this post. Hopefully whoever needs to read it will have done so.
The income comparisons between Camas and a city on the eastside of Seattle (Redmond, Issaquah, Sammamish, Bellevue) is laughable... However, the Camas people can keep living in their smug little bubble..
Why do you find it laughable?
