Camas named one of 50 ‘best places to live in 2024’

Money Magazine has named the city of Camas “one of the 50 best places to live in 2024.”

Camas was one of two cities in the Pacific Northwest — Camas and Eugene, Oregon — to make this year’s “best places” list, and accompanied a wide variety of small cities across the United States, including Portland, Maine; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Thomasville, Georgia; Brevard, North Carolina; Fruita, Colorado; Milford, Connecticut; Kalamazoo, Michigan; and Media, Pennsylvania.

Of Camas, the Money Magazine writers noted that the city — “built largely around a paper mill that dates back to 1883 — works hard to honor its history.”

“Camas may be on the small side — it has a population of just over 27,000 — but it’s made a big commitment to revitalize its downtown while paying homage to its historic past,” the magazine noted. “Today, the tree-lined streets of downtown Camas form a vibrant, walkable community that’s teeming with life. You can find locals dining outdoors at Natalia’s Cafe, an old school diner famous for its home-cooked breakfast, sipping merlot at Camas Cellars and perusing the ever-changing art at the Attic Gallery.”
