Quincy real estate

Upon entering the community of Quincy, you'll be greeted with a sign that reads, "Opportunities Unlimited." This agricultural city, located just seven miles east of the Columbia River, is rapidly becoming the site of non-stop big business. Currently a high-tech boom is in progress in Quincy, featuring such giants as Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo!, all of whom are building data centers scheduled to open during 2007. Microsoft's $1.5 million facility will hold 150,000 computers, with an expected rise to 800,000 computers in the near future. These leaders chose to open facilities in Grant County because of lower electricity costs thanks to the Columbia River. The presence of such huge companies in Quincy will surely help diversify the economy, flatten out the peaks and valleys of agriculture, and attract and retain younger residents to Quincy real estate. Presently, the median resident age in Quincy is just 27 years.

These major technology companies are focused on hiring Grant County residents with expertise as computer technicians, network engineers, and system administrators, so it's no wonder Quincy real estate agents are flooded with relocation requests.

The fertile soil and ideal climate of Quincy make it possible to grow a large variety of crops, including potatoes, apples, vegetables, corn, seed, and wheat, and Quincy currently has more than 200,000 irrigated crops under production.
