Review of Vancouver, Washington


So Sad
Star Rating - 4/13/2017
So got to Vancouver yesterday and was so excited to see old friends and old past homes from 20 years ago. That being said, much time has gone by. I must admit the amount of traffic and people that are in Vancouver today is absolutely shocking. Mill Plain is just as busy as any large city such as LA or Atlanta. There are businesses everywhere. We were thinking about moving back but no more. If we ever do move back, we will try to live an hour away from Vancouver where property is cheaper and less congested. Real estate prices have doubled. Our old ranch home, which is quite small, was bought for 235,000 last year. Incredible! It's not worth that much by far. So sad.

I don't think you're very familiar with LA. I've lived here, and now live in Vancouver. The traffic here is pretty good. Getting onto 205 is a bit of a pain sometimes, but there are new on-ramps and exits. A lot of people go to the onramp of Mill Plain though, and skip the newer ones.

I found the opposite. Having moved here from Phoenix, Arizona, the traffic was a dream. Yes, if you go to a main shopping area, you will find cars, but nothing like Portland or any other city for that matter. The suburbs are a dream, quiet, safe and little crime or traffic. Nature everywhere within minutes. I am so happy I moved here. Wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
