Grapeview is a tiny coastal town (i.e. on the ocean, a bay, or inlet) located in the state of Washington. With a population of 991 people and two associated neighborhoods, Grapeview is the 267th largest community in Washington.
Housing costs in Grapeview are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Washington.
Another notable thing is that Grapeview is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Grapeview’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Grapeview is worth considering.
One of the nice things about Grapeview is that it is nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.
One downside of living in Grapeview, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 44.96 minutes every day commuting to work.
Grapeview is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
