Homes for Rent in Chehalis, WA

With equal distance to Portland and Seattle, Chehalis is a midway point in the Pacific Northwest with farm-to-table restaurants and a historic downtown in a rural river valley. Within driving distance of the beach, the mountains and the city, this nature-oriented community is known for its railroad history, antique shops and forest recreation along the Chehalis River. "We have the mountains, hunting and fishing in a central location between cities," says Jody Kyes, an area local and managing broker at Windermere Centralia. "It is a very diverse place to be. People like the feeling of living here." This community features an eclectic layout with historic architecture surrounded by hilly terrain and secluded forests. Chehalis has three historic districts, like the Hillside neighborhood, with early 20th-century architecture like Queen Annes and Tudor-style houses. The most common housing styles are Craftsman-style bungalows and traditional homes. Home prices range from $110,000 to $860,000. "My typical buyer is someone with adult children living in Portland or Seattle. It is a perfect central place to live independently where you can still be around your children," Kyes says. While
