Lake Shore is located near the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, established in 1824, which marks the location of the Hudson Bay Company's largest fur trading post west of the Rocky Mountains, considered the most important activity center for the settlement of the entire U.S. west coast. This is the location where American settlers first arrived after traversing the Oregon Trail and received supplies that allowed them to survive their first months in the unfamiliar west.
Lake Shore, Washington is a tiny suburban area covering just 1.6 square miles, but it's located on the northern edge of the city of Vancouver, which has a population of 165,000 and is considered part of the Portland, OR metropolitan statistical area. Lake Shore is a census designated place in the southwest corner of Washington state on the eastern shore of Vancouver Lake. Locals consider Lake Shore to be a neighborhood of Vancouver just like communities to the east, Starcrest and Hazel Dell North. In fact, when you live here you get a Vancouver address. How neat is that? Lake Shore ranks 63rd out of 522 areas of Washington in per-capita income, and you're going to find a lot of newer, larger rental homes options here. Lake Shore lies about five minutes away from the banks of the Columbia River, which if you follow it west will lead you to the Pacific Ocean or to the east up the Columbia River Gorge and some of the most under-rated, breath-taking scenery in all of the U.S. This community also is a little more than an hour's drive away from skiing on Mt. Hood, and about the same distance from hiking, camping, mountain biking, fishing and other outdoor recreational pursuits at Mt. St. Helens. Yes, that Mt. St. Helens. Don't worry it's not supposed to erupt any time soon. At least, not before the lease expires on your new rental home in Lake Shore. See more
Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.
Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.
You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.
Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.
Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.
Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Lake Shore renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
