Secluded, quiet neighborhood 3 miles from the center of Longview
Columbia Heights East shares its name with the Columbia River, the economic engine of Longview for more than 100 years. The city started as a paper mill town along the Columbia in 1923, and today, NORPAC and other riverside corporations still transform lumber into paper products. “The Columbia River is amazing; it’s a gateway for international shipping,” says Jessica Baker, Broker with John L. Scott Real Estate and fourth-generation area resident. Despite its name, Columbia Heights East sits along Longview’s other river, the Cowlitz. It’s a tranquil neighborhood of hillside homes overlooking the center of the city.
