A quiet neighborhood with nature at its core
When tending to their plot in Hansen Park’s community garden or strolling down its quiet streets, one might forget how close this southwest Kennewick neighborhood is to bustling retail and popular restaurants. Rows of densely populated suburban streetscapes are flanked by verdant lawns and recently built homes. At this community’s eastern edge, its namesake park invites local families to picnic and play just around the corner from home. This close-knit residential environment is just 2 miles away from the shopping centers along Columbia Center Boulevard and a block away from the local elementary and middle schools. With shopping, schooling and green scenery all within immediate reach, suburban Hansen Park offers homebuyers both quiet and convenience.
Newer homes and New Traditional styles
Hansen Park is largely a product of the last 20 years, with most of its homes tracing their construction to the years 2003–2019. Ranch-style homes share tranquil residential streets with larger New Traditional buildings, with the largest houses occupying a 4,600-square-foot lot. Older ranch-style residences can sell for between $320,000 and $500,000, while newer New Traditional residences with large lot sizes trend between $550,000 and $920,000. This neighborhood’s streets run alongside sidewalks, sizeable front lawns and paved driveways, and red and green trees add extra color to the community’s verdant character. Hansen Park’s up-and-coming popularity as a quiet residential area has led to continued homebuilding in this community, with new apartment complexes currently being built at Hansen Park’s southern end.
Running starts at Kamiakin High School
Students can start their education at Ridge View Elementary School, located just a block east of Hansen Park, before going on to attend Desert Hills Middle School at the neighborhood’s other end. Ridge View has a B-plus rating on Niche, while Desert Hills receives a B. Kamiakin High School, given a B rating, is also recognized by Niche as being among the top 5 best public high schools in the Tri-Cities region and among the top tenth of high schools for athletics in the state. Named for the Yakima chief Kamiakin, this school’s “Braves” football program brings out intense school spirit during games against their rivals at Pasco High School. This school also offers a Running Start dual enrollment program with Columbia Basin College in Pasco, an initiative free of charge to participants.
A local park, quiet by design
Hansen Park takes its name from a “Y”-shaped green space at the neighborhood’s eastern end. Here, a playground, a picnic shelter, paved walking paths and a community garden invite locals to stroll, play and plant just around the corner from home. Hansen Park is, by design, a quiet alternative to busier parks with regular events. “Community members have a plot at the community garden, and they can manage that plot and plant a few things,” says Kennewick Recreation Manager Brandon Lange. “We purposefully don’t have any events there; it’s one of the parks we keep as a non-program park and let the community enjoy that. We try to have a balance of parks with events and those with a natural feel.” Some residents, including those who live along Idaho and Hawaii Streets, have a small, heart-shaped lake as their backyard, and walking paths allow them to walk the loop around it.
Shopping and sports along Columbia Center Boulevard
Hansen Park is situated just down Columbia Center Boulevard from major shopping centers like Columbia Square and the Columbia Center. Along the way to these malls, shoppers will pass Ranch & Home and Target department stores as well as a Lowe’s and HomeGoods. The Columbia Center is still a very busy retail hub, featuring a food court and a wide variety of shoe and athletic stores. Also along the boulevard is the Toyota Center, home to the Western Hockey League’s Tri-City Americans hockey team and a frequent concert venue. Closer to home, CG Public House and Catering and D’s Wicked Cider House pay homage to the Tri-Cities’ history as a center of Washington’s craft beer industry, with both brewpubs sitting just across Steptoe Street from Hansen Park’s western edge.
Getting around by bus or car
Most of Hansen Park’s residents drive, making use of Steptoe Street, Columbia Center Boulevard and State Route 240 to get around the Tri-Cities area. Commuters can also take the 48 bus to the Three Rivers Transit Center, an approximately 6-minute drive to the north, to access grocery and retail conveniences near Columbia Square.
