I know this is horrible, but for whatever reason whenever I hear this neighborhood’s name, I always think of toilet paper. There is a brand called White Cloud, and for whatever insane reason I think of it when talking about Cloud 9…I think I need to work on a different association…

Now that you know my inner psychological disturbances here, I can tell you about the neighborhood which is quite nice. Really it is… The main street into the neighborhood is Berndt Hill which branches into the “cloud” themes such as Stratus, Heaven Way, Sunray, Cloud Dr, and Skyway. This area was mostly built in the late 1980’s-to early 1990’s so it is a fairly new area. Homes are well maintained, and trees that were planted 20 years ago are starting to have some height them.
There really aren’t any negatives about this neighborhood with the exception of the water tank. There is a blue water storage tank in the neighborhood that may bother some buyers who may consider it an eyesore. Only a few homes look at the tank, and it does make for a quiet neighbor. The city does maintain the area around it to control weeds and such.
Cloud9/Berndt Hill is part of the Sunnyslope Neighborhood Association. If you are looking to become involved in your local neighborhood attending these meetings is a great way to find out what is happening in your area.
Currently, this neighborhood feeds into Salem Heights Elementary, Crossler Middle School, and Sprague High School.
Now last year two homes sold in this area for an average of $312,450. As of the time of this writing, there were 4 active listings on the MLS in this neighborhood. This is a very stable neighborhood with residents staying for a long time. As such, there are not typically a lot of homes for sale in the area.

Isn’t it weird how our minds work? 🙂
You’re blog looks really good. It’s different from the normal wordpress and blogspot blogs I usually see.
And I also like the Blue Pepper, but they never seem to be open when I want to go anymore. Have you noticed that?
It is weird the associations we have. I sold a house in Cloud 9 and was thinking of toilet paper the whole time…
I had a blog skin made for me by a company called Dakno. I was really happy with them.
I LOVE the Blue Pepper. I support their business as much as I can. I was talking with the owner about the hours and like everyone, she had to cut back on not as busy times in order to make sure that they can stay in business. Keep going there and support them when you can! She said they are doing fine.
