From farmland to a desirable suburb

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.”

1950s ranch-style homes and split-levels

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.

Mexican cuisine and live music

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.

Drive to downtown Vancouver or Portland

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.” After a full day in the city, folks can return home to West Hazel Dell’s quiet streets and natural scenery.
