Mount Vista aptly Named

I was out in Mount Vista recently to take pictures of a new listing. This home is quite nice and features a spectacular sweeping view to the north. The home is situated mid-slope on the north side of the Mount Vista neighborhood straddling the line between Vancouver and Ridgefield.

I like the fact that this house has a relatively level yard. The home sports a spacious 3642 square feet of living space with expansive living room, family room, dining room, and kitchen on the main level with a large deck that offers up views of the Cascades including Mount Adams. Upstairs has 4 bedrooms including the amazing master that has the best views of Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams. The lower level has a huge movie and entertainment room and another bedroom and walks out to a patio and nice mostly level backyard.

What's amazing is the fact that this gorgeous home and spectacular view can be yours for $520,000.

The greater Mount Vista area spans from NE 134th Street up along NE 29th Avenue west of WSUV in the rolling hills and east of the 20th Avenue corridor in Salmon Creek. There are a variety of neighborhoods in the area; some as old as the 1970s all they way up to brand new subdivisions with new construction. I think the best views are those that look to the northeast capturing those amazing Cascade volcanoes.

The neighborhood does offer views that look south and west as well and those can be nice. There are some homes in the older part of Mount Vista that have views extending to Downtown Portland and the West Hills.

Overall Mount Vista is a conveniently located neighborhood offering a good range of homes across a wide spectrum of pricing including many with great views. The close in proximity to both I-5 and I-205 is tough to beat.

So what are you waiting for? It's time to enjoy the view.
