Retirees Continue to Pick Washington

Washington State continues to attract retirees more often than any northern state in the US. The lack of a state income tax and breath taking scenery are all part of the allure. This has brought a fair bit of retirement community development to the state. Washington State offers that rare four season climate without the bitter cold winters found in most northern locales.

The Springs Living, an Oregon based upscale and full service retirement community developer submitted a pre-app package to the City of Vancouver, WA for a fabulous high rise project on the gorgeous Vancouver Waterfront. this project will feature 200 units from independent living to assisted living, and memory care.

Shea Homes, the developer of the popular Trilogy retirement resort style communities has four communities in Washington State which is as many as most of the sun belt states. Three of the Washington sites are long since sold out. The newest development, Trilogy at Bonny Lake still has new homes available.

Washington is the ultimate northern locale for retirees and the robust economy means your kids and grand-kids may already be here waiting for you!

New Waterfront Project For Seniors

The Springs Living is an Oregon based retirement community developer that specializes in the full range of senior living from fully independent, to assisted care and beyond. They have several locations in Oregon and Montana including many in the metro area. But now they have submitted a proposal to erect a 12 story high rise development on block 18 at the Vancouver Waterfront.

This project has all the advantages of retiring in Washington State and offers an urban location right on the the shore of the mighty Columbia River.

The proposal has been met with enthusiasm by the developer of the Waterfront and the city so it should have a fairly easy ride through the permitting process. Vancouver's amazing waterfront is a mixed use neighborhood that is quickly becoming a regional destination. The waterfront park features a centerpiece cable suspended pier. Restaurants, shops, and services are flocking to the area. I think it is safe to say this new project will be the premier urban senior living development in the greater Portland-Vancouver area.

Vancouver Washington is a great spot for retirees with close proximity to Portland, without that draconian Oregon income tax. For more information on Vancouver USAs rapidly rising urban core, visit Urban Living in the 'Couv' right here.
