Housing

The Yakima Valley offers extensive housing options.  Residents can find horse ranches, historic homes, downtown condos, resort communities, and wide ranging neighborhoods to fulfill their unique needs and aspirations.

Yakima County is fortunate to have one of the more favorable residential real estate markets in the nation.  Because of the region’s relatively resilient stable economy, area residents and real estate investors typically experience slower yet steady growth in real estate values.  According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency for period ending March 2009, Yakima County ranked 10th in the nation for home appreciation for the previous 12 months.

Rental housing also comes in varied shapes and sizes.  People can find houses, apartments, condos, assisted living communities and other rental options in cities and neighborhoods throughout Yakima County.
