Walking to downtown Longview
Broadway, which borders downtown Longview, is a residential neighborhood with various shops and restaurants, all within walking or biking distance of most homes. “Everybody loves the area and the neighbors are really nice. It’s near all the shopping, yet peaceful,” says Michelle Rohrbach, broker at John L. Scott Real Estate who specializes in southwest Washington. Additionally, “It’s close to the hospital, which is convenient, especially for seniors.” Broadway’s central location means it’s less than a mile from Lake Sacajawea Park, the biggest park in Longview and the site of popular events such as the annual 4th of July festival.
