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 1980s, with some 21st-century builds throughout. Home prices here are a bit more affordable compared to nearby neighborhoods like Northwest Vancouver and Lake Shore, with single-family homes ranging from $290,000 to $995,000, prices increasing with square footage and upgrades. Townhomes and condos can go for $300,000 to $390,000. 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.
Ranch and split level homes are common throughout West Hazel Dell.
