Just curious but your thumbnail shows the Goldcrest neighborhood as one to keep away from, but then you never mention it in the video itself. So, is it or is it not a bad neighborhood? I ask because we're thinking of moving to the area next year and one of the houses we were looking at was near there, a bit closer to the Olympia Country Club area.

Goldcrest is great! After watching this video, you’ll probably notice that we are not really promoting one neighborhood over another, just highlighting that certain neighborhoods have certain vibes and certain features that some people may or may not want. Overall Olympia is filled with fantastic neighborhoods and there’s not really a bad neighborhood to live in. That’s why this video we did in a way that just showed some of the differences between the neighborhoods. If you have any other questions, feel free to book a time on our calendar or call or text us directly and we’d be happy to answer all questions! 😀

I live in a purple house in eastside oly. Our neighborhood is rad, supportive and I know my neighbors within a two block radius. Wow. Her calling out purple houses. Just whatever beige lover of homogenized America... NO we are artists, eclectic, writers, architects, accountants, retirees, renters, landlords and thinkers. How the EFF did she think we are one of the WORST neighborhoods. Do not, I repeat--DO NOT listen to her. I am born and raised here. Eastside is beautiful!

Thanks for sharing. Love that you have a purple house! We think the Eastside is a great area too. We’ve helped lots of clients buy homes in this area. Our intent is not to offend anyone with this video, in fact that’s why we pointed out some of the best features of each neighborhood and only highlighted why some people may choose a different neighborhood based on the vibe of each area. Each person is going to feel at home in different neighborhoods, so this video is going to be helpful to those watching who want a creative neighborhood and don’t want a cookie cutter neighborhood like other neighborhoods we mention. If you watch some of our other videos you’ll notice we talk more about how great the Eastside is. We are big fans!

@thelivewellhomegroup
@thelivewellhomegroup 16 күн бұрын
Thanks for sharing. What is making you have second thoughts? Is it the drugs, crime and property theft that you are referring to? What area of WA were you considering moving to? Each area is going to have different statistics. Olympia is actually quite low compared to other areas. You can use the following link to look up statistics on different areas. My suggestion to people is to always look at the stats in the city you are currently living in or another city that you feel comfortable in, then you can make a good comparison of different cities. Sometimes the stats can make things look worse that they are but when you compare the cities with each other it give a better perspective. Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any questions or would like to jump on a call! www.numbeo.com/crime/in/Olympia

Thanks for making this clear and informative video. I bought a house on Bainbridge Island recently but am finding it's too remote for my lifestyle. The long slog from the island to Seatac can begin to take its toll. With Gig Harbor's easy access to Tacoma, it also allows opportunities for more of a social life. Gig Harbor is also a bit more affordable than Bainbridge overall. Love that it's much closer to Rainer NP for all those stunning hikes. Again, thanks - hope you decide to move there!

Are there any expenses/taxes that are higher in Olympia than other cities or states? For example, property taxes, homeowners insurance, gas? I live in SoCal and homeowners insurance is increasing and of course, gas is expensive due to the taxes. I know Washington does not tax pensions 😊 what is your perspective?

Hi @erome1488 that's a good question. Our home owners insurance here is not as high as states that have a lot of natural disasters like Texas, Florida and CA. I don't know how our gas would compare to SoCal. We don't have state income tax so that is a bonus. The sales tax varies by city, with Seattle's being the highest. Olympia's is 9.8. Property taxes also vary by area and school district. The median property tax rate in Olympia, is 0.97%, which is slightly below the national median of 0.99%.Hope that helps!

That statistic is very interesting. As an Olympia resident we can say that we feel very safe here and haven't experienced any crime. My suggestion would be to look up another city that you are familiar with or that you live in and see how it looks on the crime scale compared to the national average. For instance when I look up other areas around Olympia, we are much lower.
