The Columbia Remains a Favorite View

The mighty Columbia River rolls past the entire east west length of Vancouver with dozens of neighborhoods enjoying excellent views of one of the largest rivers on the continent. This has become a preferred view object and thousands of homes have been built with the intention of offering a glimpse. From the panoramic to the peek-a-boo, a view of the Columbia is a hot commodity.

Views of the river can be had in modestly priced properties especially looking at Shorewood Condominiums where units priced in the 200s can offer a decent view. Spectacular views from bluff top homes or from the actual shore of the river can get rather spendy with prices routinely deep into seven figures. 

For buyers that appreciate a good view homes are available in most price ranges offering a little more than a peek-a-boo view of the Columbia. It may take time to find something suitable in your price range but it does exist.

It seems that water views command the biggest premium, views of the mighty Cascades and territorial views of mountains and hills can be found at more reasonable premiums. 


Vancouver is also able to offer these lovely water views and mountain views from every kind of neighborhood from the rural to suburban to high-rise urban. Whatever your flavor it can be found in Clark County.
