Homes for Sale in Camas

Camas, Washington, is located in Clark County between the Columbia River and Lacamas Lake. Much of the city is sprawled across Prune Hill, an ancient dormant volcano cinder cone. Here, residents are treated to some amazing views of the lake, the impressive and stately Mt. Hood, and even the city lights of Portland, Oregon. Thanks to a moist climate, the region is also dotted with lush foliage and patches of forest. In the last 10 to 15 years, Camas has become an increasingly popular location for corporate facilities and headquarters. Large research and manufacturing organizations, including Sharp Microelectronics, Linear Technology and WaferTech provide much economic opportunity and growth and a sense of optimism about the future.

As business activity has grown, new residential subdivisions have sprung up. Real estate options include single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses as well as land for custom building. The residential neighborhoods incorporate the demands of modern, family-oriented homeowners. Expansive floor plans, fenced yards and amenity-rich kitchens are just some of the features available. Because locals are dedicated to preserving Camas’ natural character, the neighborhoods incorporate many trails and parks. The area’s most popular leisure activities include walking, jogging, playing sports and exploring nature.

Camas School District is responsible for approximately 5,300 students attending eight school campuses. The elementary and intermediate schools feed into the nearly new Camas High School, which has an enrollment of about 1,600.
