Mountain View Meadows-Orchards features houses in primarily bungalow and ranch-style houses, priced between $500,000 and $650,000. While this neighborhood’s roads don’t guarantee sidewalks, the residential roads have slow speed limits, making them safe for daily strolls. This area has been rapidly growing, and it's likely that more development will continue in the future.

A draw to this neighborhood is the highly rated schools.

A full basketball court is also attached to the skate park, perfect for locals to get a pick-up basketball game started on the weekends. Oak Grove Neighborhood Park also features a playground, a quarter mile of asphalt trail, a basketball court and picnic tables. “Since this neighborhood is so close to Vancouver, it’s easy to head into the city for a concert or a show,” says Seim. “There’s never a shortage of things to do when you have access to both Vancouver and Portland so close!”

Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head to Magnolia Tavern, a southern kitchen and bar open seven days a week, featuring their specialty Magnolia fried chicken and limoncello mascarpone cheesecake for dessert. Stonewood Bar & Grill is also perfect for a casual meal and happy hour specials. Home cooks will love the easy access to Safeway for all your grocery needs. “The Pacific Northwest isn’t always known for its food scene, but there are new restaurants popping up all the time,” says Seim, “and there’s always something new to try.”

This quiet suburban neighborhood is ideal for those looking for a peaceful town and an easy commute to downtown Vancouver and Portland. Between idyllic parks, stellar schools and walkable streets, there’s a lot to love about Mountain View Meadows-Orchards.
