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 an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Grapeview has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Grapeview a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
Grapeview is also nautical, which means that parts of it are somewhat historic and touch the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and bays. Quite often, nautical areas such as these attract visitors and locals who come to enjoy the scenery and various waterfront activities.
