nature as neighbors: ViewHomes™ of Clark County - Featured MultiGen Home in Hockinson
- 09/01/17 07:59 AM
We specialize in view homes in Clark County that have large lots or acreage with "elbow room for the soul." Those homes are often well-suited for multigenerational (multigen) living - separate living quarters to share with family or extended family. Since we live in a multigen household, we are always on the lookout for homes that can meet that growing market demand.
This week we feature a home in Hockinson that offers multigen living:

nature as neighbors: View Homes of Clark County: Waterfront Market Report August
- 08/21/17 07:56 AM
This summer has been a great time to get outdoors. Even with soaring temperatures, we had lots of opportunity to cool off along the many bodies of water we enjoy in the Pacific Northwest. We still have plenty of warm weather ahead, so it helps if you live right on the water. Whether it's a river, bay, creek or pond, waterfront properties have a built-in natural asset many buyers want. Some want easy access to boating and active water sports. Others just want a peaceful place to enjoy the relaxed, meditative environment.
Regulations designed to protection our watersheds restrict the development of designated shoreline properties with tight … (11 comments)

nature as neighbors: ViewHomes of Clark County: Multi-Gen Market Report August
- 08/16/17 10:28 AM
We just spent yesterday touring multi-gen homes with a wonderful family planning to move here from out of state. We are seeing that pattern a lot lately as the demand for multigenerational homes continues to grow each month. Families are changing the way they live: baby boomers are taking in their parents to provide better care, millennials are enjoying the benefit of having their children grow up with grand parents in their home. Last year the Pew Research Center reported that a record 60.6 million Americans now live in multi-gen households.
It's no coincidence that our specialty - view homes with "elbow room … (6 comments)

- 05/13/17 07:34 AM
If you are looking for a view home with privacy, and a little acreage, you should consider the Washougal, WA area.
The Washougal River, whose name is Chinook for “rushing water”, starts its 33-mile run from Gifford Pinchot National Forest in the Cascade Mountains and flows into the Columbia River through the towns of Camas and Washougal. About 63% of its watershed is forested, which accounts for its pristine water quality and excellent recreation and fishing activities. Homes in the area are typically rural, and open - providing "elbow room for the soul.”

For several years we have lived next to my elderly parents, and now share a residence with them. We have the luxury of enough space for privacy and separate living areas, but the convenience of being able to help them with meals, daily chores, and medical appointments. We never thought we would be part of a major trend, but this lifestyle has become mainstream and is growing. The demand for multigenerational homes continues to grow each year.

nature as neighbors: News of Clark County - Felida Market Report
- 03/20/17 08:10 AM
We enjoy visiting the Clark County community known as Felida. Its name has an interesting story too. When the Post Office was established in 1890, the name Powley was submitted to honor an area resident. The name was denied, but the Post Office suggested instead, "Polly." The postmaster thought the name sounded like a parrot and remarked, "they might as well name the post office after my cat." Therefore, he submitted "Thomas," the cat's name, as well as, "Tomcat, and "Felidae," Latin for big cats. Felida was approved!
Felida, long known for its pastoral settings, is changing because many of the area's farms were purchased by developers … (8 comments)

- 03/17/17 09:33 AM
The demand for multigenerational homes continues to grow each year. Ten years ago, we bought a townhouse right next to my elderly parents so we could help them out, but still have our own personal space. When they started having trouble navigating the stairs, we found a daylight basement home with single level living on the first floor and separate living quarters below. We never thought we would be part of a major trend, but this lifestyle has become mainstream and is growing.
In addition to the economic benefits of shared expenses, there are social and familial benefits of deepened relationships and enriched lives. Adult children have the peace of mind of … (11 comments)
