We're working with two couples who have decided it's time for one-level living. They both settled on Kingston Homes as the builder and a neighborhood called Jessie Hollow in Vancouver, Washington. One of the homes closed yesterday. We're excited for the buyers and know they're going to love their new home. Some of the important criteria included a modern-clean designs, a chef's kitchen, luxurious master bedroom and bathroom, and a convenient location.  Here's are a few reasons both couples decided to choose a Kingston Home. We think they chose well.

Homes With Views in Felida, WAFelida is a town in Clark County, WA that lies northwest of downtown Vancouver along the Columbia River.  It's name has an interesting history. Once a quiet farming community, with older homes on large lots and acreage, it is evolving as a bustling community with many new subdivisions.  Most new houses these days are on smaller lots due to environmental, zoning, and economic considerations, but a few exceptions can be found.  Many of the homes in Felida feature views of Vancouver Lake,The Columbia River, Salmon Creek, or peaceful territorial vistas.Felida Features the Salmon Creek Greenway TrailEven with all the development in the area, Felida still enjoys a natural, verdant environment. For example, Salmon Creek Greenway Trail stretches almost 4 miles from...

One of the attractive reasons for having a real estate office in Downtown Vancovuer Washington is the First Friday Art Walk Event.  This October 6th, 2017 is also special because it is the inagural for Premiere Property Group, LLC to be on the map as one of the participating locations. To top it off, our own Kat Zander's Abstract Acrylic work will be featured!  All of the Original works on display will be available for sale, along with a modest selection of Reproductions suitable for framing. The hours for this event are from 5:00 pm until about 9:00 pm.  The location for Kat Zander's work is at 311 W 11th Street in Vancouver WA, with many other locations within a modest walking distance (please remember the meter maid gets off of work at 6:00 if you park at a meter!). We hope we can se...

We enjoy visiting the area of Clark County, WA known as Felida northwest of downtown Vancouver. Once a quiet farming community, with older homes on large lots and acreage, it is evolving as a bustling community with many new subdivisions.  Most new houses these days are on smaller lots due to environmental, zoning, and economic considerations.  A few exceptions can be found - for example in The Reserve at Ashley Ridge there are new homes on one-half to one-third acre lots sited with greenbelt backyard views. Many of the homes in Felida feature views of Vancouver Lake,The Columbia River, Salmon Creek, or peaceful territorial vistas.Points of Interest: You can access the Salmon Creek Greenway Trail from the Felida bridge at NW 36th Avenue. The trail offers a scenic natural getaway along a...
