A north Portland suburb away from the bustling activity of downtown
Between the rural hills of Clark County and the suburban conveniences of Vancouver, Five Corners is a peaceful residential pocket just a short drive north of downtown Portland. Winding lanes feature late 20th century architecture and streets lined with old-growth trees in some subdivisions, while brand-new developments are in the works to keep up with the area’s growing population. In Clark County, Washington, Five Corners was entirely agricultural land in the early 1900s, until the larger groups began moving from downtown Portland and Vancouver to the quieter suburbs. “A lot of people live in the north Vancouver suburbs to be close to downtown Portland without the noise,” says Nycole Peraza-LaFave, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Premier Partners who has lived in Vancouver for decades. “And businesspeople who travel to work in Seattle don’t have to deal with the Portland traffic. It has gotten busier in recent years and a lot of people prefer to avoid the hassle.”
Five Corners is a short drive away from stunning views of the Puget Sound shoreline.
