Omak, WA Homes for Rent

In the desert of northern Washington, Omak is a rural community of 5,000 people, known for its signature rodeo stampede. Located near the Colville Reservation, Omak is a town center with vintage restaurants, ski resorts and a Western atmosphere centered around the Okanogan River. "We're a small town with a tight-knit community, where people can count on their neighbors," says Cole Harvey, an area local and real estate professional. "It's not super busy and doesn't have heavy traffic, but it's still conveniently located to cities and everything I like to do. It's peaceful." Centered around the river, Downtown Omak features a gridded layout lined with pine trees. Its single-level homes are on flat lawns with distant mountain views, and rural properties have land outside the city center. This community features Craftsman cottages and ranch-style homes ranging from $60,000 to $700,000. Manufactured homes go for $230,000 to $500,000. "You can get a lot more bang for your buck, and you can still get acreage for a decent price," Harvey says. "Many buyers come from out of town looking for a slower pace and seclusion."
