Located in Clark County
Hazel Dell is a quiet northern suburb of Vancouver. Neighborhoods surround the community’s central stretch of Interstate 5, which is surrounded by big-box stores, chain restaurants and local spots. While the interstate leads directly to Downtown Vancouver, older homes in the neighborhood often come on acreage that is hard to find in the city.
The average home value across Hazel Dell was roughly $490,000 at the beginning of 2026 — about $120,000 less than that of the Portland metro area. Single-family homes range anywhere from the low $300,000s up to roughly $1 million, and styles include ramblers, split-level and midcentury modern homes from the 1960s through the 1980s. “It’s got older, established homes with mature landscaping and bigger lots,” says Kristy Childers, the co-owner of the Childers & Hess Team of Windermere Northwest Living, who has over 20 years of experience. Older homes come on lots up to three-quarters of an acre, while newer subdivisions with contemporary Craftsman and New Traditional homes developed from the 1990s through the 2020s often have homeowners association fees. Townhouses with two to three bedrooms built after 2000 go from the low $200,000s to the mid $400,000s, while one- to two-bedroom condos sell between the mid $100,000s and the low $300,000s.
Children in Hazel Dell are part of the highly rated Vancouver Public Schools system, which consists of about 22,000 students across 34 schools. Students may attend either the top-rated Columbia River High School, the highly rated Skyview High School or Hudson’s Bay High School, depending on where they live in the neighborhood. Columbia River High, an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, offers two magnet programs that draw students from outside of its zone boundaries: the IB Diploma Program and the IB Career-Related Program. Students may also apply to the STEM-focused Vancouver iTech Preparatory school or the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics.
Hazel Dell provides convenient access to Downtown Vancouver — about 7 miles south — via Interstate 5, which runs through the center of the community. Commuters can follow the interstate farther south to Downtown Portland; while it’s only 15 miles away, the trip can take over half an hour during periods of heavy traffic.
C-TRAN, the county’s public transit system, runs more than 10 routes through the 99th Street Transit Center in north Hazel Dell. Bus #31 is a direct service from the transit center to downtown Vancouver. While Hazel Dell has a largely suburban layout that requires a car, several of its major roads have designated bike lanes.
Many of Hazel Dell’s businesses are scattered around the interstate, along Northeast Highway 99 and Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue. The Hazel Dell Towne Center is one of the shopping destinations in the area, anchored by Target, Kohl’s, Petco and Office Depot. Less than a mile south, Hazel Dell Marketplace offers a Safeway and a Ross Dress for Less, with a Marshalls across the parking lot. Local and chain eateries are interspersed throughout the area’s shopping centers, including:
Residents have easy access to a few green spaces and local trail systems. Hazel Dell Community Park was one of the first in Clark County, and it’s well-equipped for outdoor get-togethers with more than 30 picnic tables, a few barbecue grills and two shelters with electricity. Otherwise, towering evergreen trees fill the park, with a sea of dry pine needles at their trunks.
The Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway Trail spans 8 miles and a number of landscapes, from wetlands to open grasslands and forests. “That’s pretty popular with people walking, hanging out and doing outdoor activities,” says Realtor Cassandra Marks with Real Broker.
The community comes together every third Saturday of May for the Armed Forces Day Parade of Bands, which draws more than 5,000 participants. Bass drummers and sousaphone players march from Northeast Hazel Dell Avenue to Highway 99 every year, a community tradition since 1964.

Remnants of the Clark County Poor Farm at Hazel Dell Park – which gave indigent Vancouverites a place to live and work from 1873 to 1943 – shed light on how far Northeast Hazel Dell has come in the past 60 to 70 years. As it filled up with residential subdivisions in the early 1960s, this agricultural community was split from its neighbor, West Hazel Dell, by the construction of Interstate 5. And today, it has a variety of houses close to parks, schools, and shopping that are just 20 minutes from downtown Portland.<br><br>Most of Northeast Hazel Dell’s streets are lined with Ranch-style and split-level houses built for the waves of new residents who flooded into Vancouver and other parts of the Portland Metropolitan area in the decades following World War II. These houses, along with the occasional Craftsman bungalow from the 1920s, sit atop 8,000 to 10,000-square-foot lots, leaving plenty of room for a backyard pool, a raised bed garden, a driveway, and a few mature trees or bushes. The neighborhood also has a few pockets of newer construction where you’ll find contemporary homes and Millennial mansions on much smaller lots that make the best use of limited space. These old and new houses fetch $350,000 to $600,000. Sidewalks and protected bike lanes are rare on this neighborhood’s winding streets, so expect to need a car for the simplest of errands.<br><br>Students in the northern part of the neighborhood will attend Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary School and Jefferson Middle School before moving on to Hudson’s Bay High School. Those in its southern end will attend Hazel Dell Elementary and Jason Lee Middle School before going to Hudson’s Bay. All five schools received between a B-plus and a C-plus on Niche.com. The website also named Hudson's Bay the 18th most diverse high school in the Portland Metro.<br><br>And regardless of where they go to school, the neighborhood’s children can continue learning about their neighborhood’s history by touring the Clark County Poor Farm’s grounds and cemetery at Hazel Dell Park. They can also head to the Luke Jensen Sports Park, where the Salmon Creek Little League and Vancouver West Soccer Club play or perfect their skateboarding tricks at the Tenny Creek Neighborhood Park’s skate spot. And to cap the day’s adventures, try a Monte Cristo crepe from C’Est La Vie French café, a carnivore pizza from the Blind Onion Pizza & Pub, or some beef bulgogi from the K-Town Korean BBQ and Restaurant. You’ll find these places among the grocery and department stores surrounding the interstate and the Hazel Dell Marketplace Shopping Mall.<br><br>From its humble beginnings as the site of a poor farm, Northeast Hazel Dell has grown into a rich community with housing, parks, schools, and restaurants. Add these features to the neighborhood’s location on an interstate just 20 minutes from Portland, and you have more than enough reasons to make this place your next home.
Before World War II, Hazel Dell was an agricultural community best known for hosting the Clark County Poor Farm from 1873 to 1943. It quickly filled up with residential subdivisions after the war that were built to house the thousands of new people who moved to Vancouver to work in its factories and shipyards. Hazel Dell is now split in half by Interstate 5, with West Hazel Dell bordering Burnt Bridge Creek, just east of Lake Vancouver. “Living here means you’re just a few minutes away from downtown Vancouver and the Columbia River waterfront,” says Kelly Monfort, a local real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty. “Folks can also take I-5 straight to downtown Portland, so it’s a desirable area among commuters.” <br><br>Today, the streets of West Hazel Dell are lined with ranch-style homes and split-levels that were largely built throughout the 1950s and 1960s. Home prices here are a bit more affordable compared to nearby neighborhoods like Northwest Vancouver and Lake Shore, with an average listing price of $475,000. For less than $350,000 homebuyers can snag a two-bedroom, 1,100-square-foot condo. While many of the community’s single-family homes were built over 70 years ago, a large number hit the market with recent renovations and updates. On the neighborhood’s south side, there is a selection of four-bedroom homes built in the past 10 years with attached two-car garages and modern appliances. Most houses sit close together on quarter-acre lots, while those sitting on the west side of Overlook Drive have half-acre, private lots with back yards full of mature trees. <br><br>Popular grocery options include Fred Meyer, Walmart, Safeway and WinCo Foods. The area is dotted with popular chains and fast-food dining options, including numerous spots for Mexican cuisine, like El Tapatio and Muchas Gracias Mexican Food. Locals can also take the short drive south to Main Street to savor southern-style comfort foods like chicken-fried oysters or the barbecue pork sandwich from the Frontier Public House for dinner before continuing the drive towards downtown Vancouver and the city’s port district. “On the weekends, patrons gather at the public house to listen to live music,” Monfort says. <br><br>Hazel Dell Elementary and Jason Lee Middle School both earn B overall grades from Niche. Those living on the neighborhood’s east side are within a short walk of the elementary school, which ranks 4th on Niche’s list of standout elementary schools in the greater Portland area. Jason Lee Middle serves around 600 students and has a student-to-teacher ratio of 18-1. To finish out their K-12 career, learners can head to Hudson’s Bay High School, which earns a C-plus overall grade and B ratings on its extracurricular offerings and college preparatory initiatives. The high school offers around 20 club options for students to consider, with topics ranging from drama to Dungeons & Dragons. <br><br>At Jorgenson Woods Neighborhood Park, neighborhood residents can bring their kids to use the play equipment, enjoy packed lunches on the picnic tables and walk along the shaded quarter-mile path. The Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway borders the neighborhood’s residential streets to the southwest and hikers can access 8 miles of wooded trails from the Stewart Glen access point. <br><br>Interstate 5 borders West Hazel Dell to the east and can take residents 3 miles south to downtown Vancouver or 12 miles to Portland’s city center. “You’re also really close to Portland International Airport,” says Monfort. “It’s just a 20-minute drive away, so in terms of transportation, residents have a lot of accessible amenities.” <br><br>After a full day in the city, folks can return home to West Hazel Dell’s quiet streets and natural scenery.
