Homes for Rent in Carson, WA

Along the northern banks of the Columbia River, among the mature woodlands and rolling hills of Skamania County, Carson is a rural community known for its quiet atmosphere, natural scenery and hot springs. Located in the Columbia River Gorge, the area feels far removed from city life, with spacious properties providing privacy to residents. “When you move here, you’re not just adopting a new town, but a new community,” says Rachel Broughton, a Realtor with Windermere Real Estate who grew up in Carson. “It’s a small town with no traffic lights and just one main intersection. People help one another in times of need, whether it be plowing a neighbor’s driveway or borrowing some eggs.” Carson and the neighboring town of Stevenson have limited businesses and amenities, but downtown Hood River’s active shopping hub is just 20 miles east. “A lot of folks are drawn to town for the large acreage or to work in the logging industry,” says Broughton. Carson’s ranch-style homes, bungalows and Colonial Revivals were mostly built throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with a small selection of new construction and a few dating back to the early 20th century. Most homes are on a quarter acre or more,
