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.
Also of interest is that Grapeview has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
A relatively large number of people in Grapeview telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 18.41% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Another notable thing is that Grapeview is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.
Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Grapeview is worth considering.
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.
