Located along Interstate 82 in the Yakima Valley, the small town of Grandview offers sunny skies surrounded by vast open fields and vineyards. Agriculture is the valley’s primary industry, with major exports like wine and hops. “It’s a huge hop farming area,” says Mike Nelson, a Yakima Valley local and Realtor with DK Bain Real Estate. “80% of the nation’s hops come from this valley.” Grandview also has several distribution facilities, including a large Walmart center; thanks to these job centers, as well as a boom in residential development, the town’s population has grown rapidly in recent years. For most shopping and recreation, locals travel to the Tri-Cities area—composed of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco—but there are lots of Mexican restaurants downtown and an annual rodeo in the summer.
With a population around 10K, Grandview caters to a rural lifestyle in wine country.
Although small and quaint, downtown Grandview has a nice variety of stores and restuaraunts.

Lots of new construction in recent years
As of early 2025, homes in Grandview sell for a median price of about $350,000, compared to $425,000 in Kennewick and Pasco, and $475,000 in in Richland. Housing development in Grandview largely began in the 1930s and continued into the late 20th century, with mostly minimal traditional ranch-style homes. Larger lots around the town’s edges have enough room for small personal gardens and farms. Despite Grandview’s small size, there’s been an explosion of new construction since 2020. “We’ve had 1,600 new homes in 3 years, and more to be built,” Nelson says.
Grandview's architectual style spans a wide range of era's dating back to the 1930's.

Mexican eateries in downtown Grandview
