Renter's Guide to Vancouver
With the Columbia River curving upwards from the south to the west, Vancouver, Washington quietly runs along the southernmost tip of the state’s border. At its core, the area feels like a quieter extension of Portland, Oregon. As such, many people have migrated to Vancouver in recent years to support its peaceful suburban atmosphere and growing artistic community.
Vancouver, Washington is 9 miles north of Portland, Oregon, which means that you can easily enjoy their world-famous fine dining and shopping locales any day of the week. However, since Vancouver is also 3 times smaller and 4 times less populated than Portland, you’ll always have a quiet and cozy place to return to at the end of the day. As for other nearby major cities, the distance from Vancouver, WA to Seattle is 165 miles heading south, which is just perfect for taking day trips to the “Emerald City”. To give some frame of reference, Vancouver is about one-and-a-half times smaller than Seattle, and roughly 4 times less populated.
Vancouver weather averages in the 60s most of the time, meaning that Vancouver’s climate is basically mild and agreeable all year long. Spring averages 52°F with showers, lots of beautiful flowers and cool nights. Summer averages 67°F with warm days easing into cooler evenings. Autumn averages 55°F and can be rainy, but beautiful overall. Winters average 40°F and can become fairly cold, though the temperature almost never dips below freezing.

Tips for Renting in Vancouver
If you are moving to Vancouver from Seattle, be prepared for a much better public transit situation than you are used to. The mass transit rail lines and bus services are much more organized, faster, and have less clutter in the terminals. Vancouver is a smaller city, which means you will be spared from many of the hassles associated with living in large-scale urban environments.
When it comes to your security deposit, Washington renters’ rights are very specific. There’s no limit on how much a landlord can charge for a security deposit. However, it must be returned to you within two weeks of moving out. If you need to take your landlord to court over the deposit, then you can use small claims court as long as the deposit is no more than $5,000.
