Hood River Reviews
Rating 4.38 out of 5 16 reviews
Hood River is full of very interesting people, including some of the best Watersport athletes in the world, Hollywood actors and actresses, and many other exciting figures. Hood River has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, set in the Columbia River Gorge between two lovely mountains and surrounded by many gorgeous rivers, creeks, and waterfalls. The locals are nice and helpful, the little shops in downtown are darling, and the views are stunning. Hood River is also very safe, with the only place I make sure to lock my car being the waterfront area. Leaving your house unlocked is not uncommon. The only difficulty with living in Hood River is that you do have to pay for what you get. The cost of living is high, particularly for things like housing. However, you will be drinking noticeably the best tap water in the world. :)
All in all, its pretty perfect. I'd highly recommend coming for a weekend or staying for the rest of your life!

Much better than other cities, but you'll still find trash along the sides of the roads and the cost of living here is very high. Beutiful scenery and cute downtown.
There is so much to do in Hood River, especially if you love outdoor recreational activities. One downside is the lack of affordable child care.
