So basically the same story as the rest of the area. The people who grew up in the area are priced out of the communities they grew up in because every house gets bid on way past its actual value and you end up with locals having grown up literally not being able to afford to live in their home towns. What’s even better is how a significant portion of these homes aren’t even lived in the majority of the year and/or used and rentals/air BNB’s. Even in your basic neighborhood houses are selling for 100-150k more than they’re actually worth, forcing ppl out of their home towns.

Not always. Ww bought here 12 years ago. 9+ acres, heavily wooded, smaller home, though it looks huge 4 floors & a small loft, less than $200k. 33 miles to the ferry to Seattle. Takes no longer to reach Seattle than from the suburb drivers sitting in traffic.

Did you show the beat up old RV's on the back streets? The town shuts down at 6:00pm and it gets dark at 4:00pm in the winter months. Don't fret there is a suicide hotline. Bring your coat and hat the wind howls off the water and it is wet and cold out there.The average age is old to very old, so no night life here, no employment unless you are a good dishwasher. The best part of living here is the police log in the local paper. The homeless and the crazies never fail to entertain.

Hmmm. The Manresa Castle was never a castle. It was just big enough and fancy enough that people started referring to it as "the Eisenbeis castle" after its wealthy owner. The Jesuits owned it for over 40 years and gave it the Manresa name, but it was still "the castle" to the locals. It was originally brick, but the Jesuits made it larger and stuccoed over the brick.

I moved here 3 years ago to escape wildfires in Nor Cal and found it to be a delightful place to live. Like other desirable places it has a serious housing shortage, so much so that ordinary wage earners can't afford to buy or rent here. Teachers, health care workers and others are in short supply because workers can't find affordable housing. I find the idea of a realtor encouraging more people to move here and further bid up the prices of existing housing (bigger commissions for them) to be disgusting. Maybe you should get a real job.
