West Richland has a great small-town feel. Neighbors are friendly and the surrounding neighborhoods are well kept and safe. There is very little crime in this town that I call home.

The best areas in West Richland are the multiple areas that are a quick commute away in which you can shop or dine at. There are several major shopping malls and such within an easy 15-minute commute. There are multiple parks here to enjoy if you like to be outside. These are great places to take in the views if the gorgeous surrounding mountains. Are you a music lover? If so, then community music is also offered at the community parks during the warmer months. You will truly always find a community event going on here in West Richland. Read Less
