Vancouver, WA

After Portland, we wanted to sample Washington's city upon the Columbia River, just to the north. It is much smaller, of course, with a nice riverfront area that was redeveloped decades after the collapse of the paper industry in the 60s. The riverfront is dominated by high rise rentals and you must drive up Main St to the Hough or Arnada neighborhoods to find resales. These are old neighborhoods with homes from the '20s onwards. Further north by almost 30 minutes is Ridgefield, where new homes are selling quickly and growth is very high.Weiterlesen
