Camas

 

Incorporated in 1906, Camas was originally known for its paper mill. Recently it has become the base for multiple high-tech companies, creating jobs and attracting new residents. The influx of new opportunities has set the stage for a thriving community only 14 miles from Portland, OR, and 13 miles from Vancouver, WA.

 

Camas has come a long way from its humble paper mill days; with economic growth at the forefront of the town’s future, it offers a unique community atmosphere that still maintains a small-town feel with quaint restaurants, coffee shops and historic theatre. The blend of the traditional with the new upscale shops and eateries makes Camas a truly unique and wonderful place to live.

 

For outdoor life, Camas has 12 parks, including playgrounds, a skate park, and walking paths. Just north of downtown Camas is Lacamas Lake, a 312-acre forest reserve offering recreational opportunities including hiking, fishing, canoeing, and picnicking among old-growth trees.

 

For families, Camas has an outstanding school district, which includes several elementary and middle schools, and a high school that boasts an incredible 92% on-time graduation rate.

 

For new things coming to the area, look up: The Columbia Palisades, Parklands at Camas Meadows & The Camas-Washougal Waterfront.

 

The neighborhoods of Camas are diverse and have a lot to offer. Prune hill has large, stately homes and sits elevated, providing views of Mt. Hood and the city lights from Portland. The more established neighborhoods offer traditional, Craftsman, and Victorian homes, as well as condos and townhomes, to suit any preferences.
