I have been featuring lots and homes in Colorado Ridge for the last several months and they are pretty awesome. This neighborhood is in real close to the center of either Camas or Washougal yet is perched up high with views of the Columbia River, Mount Hood, and Portland. The hillside is steep but not real high. The elevation is around 500 feet so there is not a real problem with snow here. Since it is steep the views are amazing.
Homes in this community run between $400 and $700k. The latter range buys a very large home with a grand view the former being something a bit smaller and with peek-a-boo views. Even the homes without the sweeping vistas, offer views of the local territory which is quite pretty with an abundance of evergreens in the area.There are several different builders operating in Colorado Ridge but there is a web site showing some of the lots and homes still available in the area. Colorado Ridge.
OK a shameless plug, I have this home listed in Colorado Ridge. It is essentially a one level house save for a bonus suite over the garage. Nearly 2500 squares on the main and the aforementioned bonus suite with a full bath over the garage at 333 squares. This home has a few peek-a-boo views of the river, but the street view is nice with majestic tall evergreens serving as a backdrop to the neighborhood. The home is priced at $489,000 it is complete and ready for occupancy.
Colorado Ridge still has view lots available to build your dream house as well. This is a great spot to consider as it offers similar views to Camas' Prune Hill but at a more manageable price point.Take a look at Colorado Ridge before you decide on your ultimate view home. especially if your price range is closer to the half-million mark than it is to the million dollar range.
