I have lived in East Stonegate now for about 5 years. I love the layout of the community with meandering walking trails, plenty of trees and natural vegetation.

Stonegate is a Planned Unit Development which began in 1989 on the westside of Hood River. Located about 2 miles from town,  there are 2 phases in Stonegate-West Stonegate off of Post Canyon and East Stonegate off of Frankton Rd. Stonegate's focus is to maintain and enhance the natural beauty of the site and protect it's views, many homesites which include views of Mt. Adams or Mt. Hood. Stonegate is managed by owners through the Stonegate Homeowners Association.  Walking trails (there are no curbs or sidewalks in Stonegate) connect West and East with plenty of green spaces,lots of trees, 4 neighborhood parks, a Habitat Conservation Area with wildlife pond, and common areas.

CCR's protect the community with architectural requirements. A high quality of design is encouraged with natural earth tones or muted colors and materials, usable front porches and outdoor living spaces as well as alternative energy technology. Home designs should "focus on front porches" and  "De-emphasize garage doors" from the street view. Fencing is discouraged and rather buffering with native trees and plantings is encouraged.  The Stonegate Community is nearly built out. There are currently only 2 remaining undeveloped lots which are located in East Stonegate.

Currently there are five homes for sale in the Stonegate community. Four homes are located in East Stonegate and two in West Stonegate.

The homes in East Stonegate for sale are: A home my husband and I built and own at  636 Hunter  Rd.   A FSB0   4075 Stonegate Dr.   585 Toms Dr.  and another FSBO Hunter Rd.-3 bdrm 2.5 ba for $575,000

There are twp homes for sale on the other side-West Stonegate: 680 Parsons Rd and one at 668 Parsons

Good info if you want to take advantage of the $6500 tax credit. This is the one not limited to first time home buyers. Among other things you must be under contract by April 30, 2010 and close by June 30, 2010 to get this credit.
