Another Reason Why The Old West Side Social Is The Best

🌿✨ Old West Side Magic: Summer Recap + What’s Next! ✨🌿

If you’ve been to one of our Old West Side Socials in Longview, you already know—they’re not just events, they’re thevibe. Neighbors laughing until sunset, new friendships being made on porches, and that “pinch me” feeling of living in one of Longview’s most whimsical neighborhoods. Honestly? Our socials are proof that real estate is so much more than houses—it’s about building a community you actually want to be part of.

Our most recent August gathering? Pure magic. ✨ A HUGE thank-you to Hannah for opening your home and making the night unforgettable. From the conversations to the connection, it was the kind of evening that makes you fall in love with the Old West Side of Longview all over again.

Summer Highlights (and oh, were they good!) 🌞

This summer wasn’t just about one event—it was about all the little moments that made the Old West Side shine.

🎉 We kicked it off with 4th of July swag bags (yes, those sunglasses were everything—and let’s be honest, the neighborhood looked fabulous in them).

🌱 Then came the surprise drop-offs: 50 succulents placed on random doorsteps, no notes, no names, just a little “wink wink” gift from yours truly. Because sometimes the best things are left quietly—with love.

🎶 We also soaked up summer concerts at the lake—live music, golden skies, and neighbors dancing barefoot in the grass.

🎬 And of course, the Movies in the Park series is already underway—on August 15th, Ghostbusters hit the big screen, and the nostalgia was REAL. Up next? August 29th at the lake—another perfect chance to grab a blanket, some snacks, and catch a film under the stars.

☀️ Add in golden lake sunsets and front-porch laughs, and it’s safe to say this summer was one we’ll be talking about for a long time.

Why We Love the Old West Side 💛

Let’s be real: the Old West Side isn’t just a place on the Longview real estate map—it’s THE place. Picture this: historic homes that don’t just have “character,” they drip with it. Crown moldings, creaky wood floors that tell stories, wide porches perfect for sipping wine at golden hour—these homes are living, breathing pieces of history.

Now layer that with tree-lined streets that feel like they were stolen straight out of a novel—the kind of canopy where every walk turns into a photo-worthy moment, and you half expect to see a horse-drawn carriage roll by. Add in the magic of Lake Sacajawea in the summer, where evenings are painted in gold, concerts echo across the water, and movies light up the park under a blanket of stars. It’s not just “summer fun”—it’s storybook living.

And the neighbors? Oh, they wave. They don’t just wave, they stop, they chat, they connect. Because the Old West Side is more than an address—it’s a lifestyle. It’s the kind of neighborhood where friendships are built over porch steps, kids ride bikes until the streetlights flicker on, and strangers become friends faster than you can say “block party.”

So yes, you can buy a house anywhere in Longview. But if you want the full package—the history, the beauty, the charm, the lifestyle—there’s only one answer: the Old West Side. 💛
