What They Don't Tell You About Living In Camas, Washington

When the wind blows from the west, i could smell camas clear to hood river.

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.

People are always "Not in my neighborhood". You have to build them someplace. Was a big outcry of putting a roundabout at the end of Lake Road at Everett (SR-500). Going to be a number of incidents because it was so close to the high school. Ever since it has gone in, it has been crickets..... The question is have there been any incidents from this center being near Dorothy Fox? I am a transplant from Capitol Hill in Vancouver, Washington. Now living with my son, and his family below Lake Road by LaCamas Lake for the last thirteen years. Thing is the family has lived in Clark county since the Oregon (ORY-GUN) territory first opened up north of the Columbia River.

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.

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.

Super informative. Thanks!

Super helpful! Thank you for talking about the lesser known, but still important, topics! Nicely done👏🏻

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.

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.

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😅

What's Camas Famous for? https://youtu.be/-kFm7XVY8kU?si=xY9748Fgwpv5YazJ&t=46

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.

Thanks for being honest and talking about sensitive issues.

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?

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.

Very good job..you covered lots of important information..thank you

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

Vancouver also has an ice rink for your indoor activities list😊😊.

Nice job, Hal! Good stuff!

Looking very pretty
