View Homes of Clark County: January Market Report for Hockinson

You Can Have Nature as Neighbors in Hockinson

Many of our baby boomer clients aren't downsizing. In fact, they are looking to upsize a bit. The biggest reason we hear now is "Room for grandkids to come and visit!"  That 1800 SqFt single-level works fine for just the two of them, but add overnight visitors, and there is too much chaos and lack of privacy - especially with kids.

Many are also looking for homes in the country to enjoy the benefits of privacy and nature, but still be close to city amenities - easy access to shopping, services, and good schools. They miss the yard space with play area for the grand kids, gardening, and private outdoor relaxation. Brush Prairie/Hockinson is a great area where we regularly find homes that meet this criteria.

Hockinson especially has all the amenities of a rural area - rolling hillsides, tracts of timber land, and large horse pastures. Yet, it is within easy driving distance of metropolitan amenities, including Portland International Airport right across the Columbia River. Combine privacy with the diversity of views, and you have a very popular area for homesites with nature as neighbors. This area is in the highly desirable Hockinson School District.

Debb and Bernie,

Nice report on Hockinson and the fact that baby boomers want to upsize. One of our client shas a listing on exactly the kind of house you are describing with room for the grandkids.  They designed an "upside down house" where their living area is on the second floor with elevator.  It has a gorgeous living room offices for both of them, master bedroom, kitchen and balcony.  The downstairs is for the family and kids easy access to the swimming pool a game room and several en suite bedrooms.  A

What a cool idea. I think an upside down house sounds  pretty cool, especially if the upper level took advantage of stunning views. :)

Debb,

 Great report on the Hockinson area, intersting how different markets are different many people here want to downsize but not downgrade! They still want room for the kids, so they do want 4 beds or 3.

Good Morning Debb and Bernie, Now I would say that is a million dollar view to have.  You always come up with some great pictures.
