From farms to suburbs north of Vancouver
North of Vancouver, Hazel Dell is a suburban city that grew from rural roots. Farm fields and natural open space spanned the region in the late 1800s, leading to a boom in the agricultural industry. After World War II, when many laborers came to Vancouver looking for factory work, subdivisions were built in Hazel Dell. Today, this accessibility to Vancouver offers commuters access to Vancouver’s healthcare and manufacturing companies. Although Hazel Dell is almost entirely built out, the population continues to grow, with nearly 23,600 residents as of 2020, about a 22% increase since the 2010 U.S. Census.

Established ranch-style homes and new construction
West Hazel Dell and Northeast Hazel Dell both have cul-de-sacs of new traditionals with Craftsman influence, ranch-style homes and townhouses. “There’s widespread new construction going on and then a little bit older homes, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag,” says Realtor Cassandra Marks with Real Broker, licensed since 2018. “It’s a lot more like what central Vancouver is like than the ends of Vancouver, where there’s more new construction happening in areas like Salmon Creek since there’s more open space.” The median single-family home price is about $505,000, about $85,000 less than Vancouver’s median home price, according to the National Association of Realtors.
