A rural atmosphere with room to grow in Hockinson
In the foothills of the Western Cascade Range, Hockinson has a rural, secluded feel with spacious properties, farmland and wooded groves lining its quiet streets. While the community feels far from city life, downtown Vancouver is around 15 miles southeast, and the shops and restaurants of Battle Ground are less than a 10-minute drive away. “People like having the rural atmosphere and peace and quiet while still being close to town,” says Lousie James, a local real estate broker with over 25 years of real estate experience across the United States. “You get a lot of 5-plus-acre properties, and the land is good for hobby farms and gardening. It’s country living just a short drive from all the businesses of Vancouver.”
Some Hockinson locals choose to outfit their homes with solar energy panels.
Residents of Hockinson tend to value a closeness with nature.
