Between the Columbia River and Lake Sacajawea
Across the Oregon border and the Columbia River sits the small city of Longview, Washington. “Longview used to be a big mill town from the mid-80s to the mid-90s,” says Nick Shivers, Principal Broker at Keller Williams Realty East Portland with over 25 years of experience. Highlands is the closest neighborhood to Longview’s industrial sector, making for a short commute for those who work in the lumber and steel manufacturing facilities. However, there is more to Longview than its industry. “It’s undergoing a transformation from a lumber town into a cool little town,” Shivers says. Highlands is 2 miles from downtown Longview, which contains locally owned boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops. And it’s just 1 mile from Lake Sacajawea, the largest park in Longview and site of community-wide events, like the annual Fourth of July fireworks.
Highlands is near the industrial side of Longview.

Biking, skating and community gardening
Bikers and joggers can hit the Highlands Trail, a paved path along the edge of the neighborhood. It extends behind Archie Anderson Park, which contains a playground, tennis courts and open fields. Right across the street from the park is the neighborhood’s community center and garden. On the other side of Highlands, Cloney Park has a BMX track, a skate park and a playground. Cloney Park leads to Lake Sacajawea Park, where city-wide events take place throughout the year, like free Concerts at the Lake on summer nights. On a typical day at the park, kids play basketball at the covered lakeside court and joggers use the 3.5-mile path that encircles the lake.

Older neighborhood with gridded streets and sidewalks
Highlands is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Longview. It contains single-story Craftsman bungalows built in the 1920s and midcentury ranch-styles. Homes typically have modest, grassy yards surrounded by chain-link fences. Prices range from about $175,000 to $400,000. Flipping houses is common. “A big draw for Highlands is the affordability compared to other parts of Longview.
