Why Buyers Love This Location: Small-Town Living, Big Convenience

Welcome home to Sunnyside — the heart of Washington's wine country, and one of the Yakima Valley's most established communities. The Meadows sits right on E Edison Ave, minutes from downtown shopping, a full-service hospital campus, and Sunnyside's own schools — with I-82 putting the rest of the Yakima Valley and the Tri-Cities within easy reach. Here's a closer look at what's nearby.
