About Hood River's Westside

Located on the westside of Hood River out Post Canyon Rd. are some very popular bike riding trails. Many people ride these trails and they are also enjoyable for hiking or jogging. The trails are in a forested setting with many trees- fir, oak, cedar, maple and more. A small creek flows along much of the trail with wildflowers blooming this time of year. A series of bridges and crossings have been built in various places along the trail for those who want a challenge. Here is additional info on the Post Canyon Trail system in Hood River Oregon.

Things are greening up in Hood River. I took a walk in my East Stonegate neighborhood the other day. The trees are starting to leaf out. The grass is growing quickly. Everything looks very green. There are two neighborhoods in Stonegate- East and West. They are connected by walking trails and paths, green spaces, parks, and a nature conservation habitat area with a pond. There are currently 4 homes for sale in the Stonegate Subdevelopment. One home listed in West Stonegate and three homes in East Stonegate-1 listed and 2 FSBO homes. Of the two last buildable lots, one is currently on the market for $140,000. My husband and I have built two homes in East Stonegate. One is currently rented and will be back on the market in the future. If you are interested in this unique Hood River neighborhood I can give you all the details. My husband is on the architectural review committee. There is a Stonegate Homeowners Association-SHOA which takes care of the landscaping, snow removal, irrigation water, and more.

WESTSIDE HOOD RIVER

When you're looking for a home or property near Hood River it's good to know the general area. Westside Hood River is located on the west side of town. It is a beautiful area at the furthest I'd say 10 minutes from downtown Hood River. Many people like Westside Hood River because it has a rural country feel, yet is still convenient to town. It is generally level and good bike riding, near the schools, etc. Many homes and properties have mountain views. Some even have double mountain views of both Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams. Another thing people like about Westside Hood River is the domestic water is supplied from Ice Fountain Water District. This is very good drinking water. Many properties also have irrigation rights from Farmers Irrigation. If you like to garden and landscape it's really nice and affordable to have this irrigation water from May till Oct.

In recent years a number of subdevelopments have been built on Hood River's Westside. If you take May St. by the Hood River Middle School and Aquatic Center and head west you pass many newer homes. One development off May St. is Fox Hollow with larger sized homes. Willow Ponds is another nice development with very custom homes.
