Country living 8 miles west of Longview
Coal Creek is a tranquil, forested neighborhood about 8 miles northwest of Downtown Longview. “It’s very peaceful – brings you back to yesteryear,” says Susan Wood, Broker at John L. Scott Real Estate with over nine years of experience. It’s the kind of place where people “leave each other alone and don’t lock doors.” Coal Creek is made up of single-family homes, plenty of trees and a handful of small businesses. The area “doesn’t typically have cell phone service or Internet,” Wood says. “Most people out there are retired or live off the grid.” Though the neighborhood feels secluded from modern conveniences due to its country roads and lack of stoplights, it’s only 6 miles from the nearest big-box grocery store.
Coal Creek features quiet street with minimal traffic.
A WalMart Supercenter is short drive down Ocean highway from Coal Creek.

Ferncrest Christmas Tree Farm is where holiday traditions are made: every year between Thanksgiving and Christmas, families come to feed the reindeer, take photos with Santa and choose their trees. And at the Lone Oak Rifle & Pistol Club, member-owned since 1948, anyone can watch the shooting competitions at the otherwise members-only club.
Nearby Willow Grove Park feature long beaches for stolling.
