Burnt Bridge Creek lies among Vancouver, Washington’s eastern suburbs, just 25 minutes from downtown Portland. The Portland area’s iconic towering fir trees dot back yards and public green spaces while landscaped front lawns sit behind well-maintained sidewalks. Named for the bubbling tributary that lies north of the neighborhood, Burnt Bridge Creek lies on the edge of rural Washington, with views of the southern Cascade mountains visible from its residential streets.

Homes

The houses in Burnt Bridge Creek are relatively new, compared to suburbs closer to the city’s center, with few homes built before the 1970s. “You get a mix of newer builds and well-established homes here,” says Ken Rosengren, a local real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty Premier Partners. “And it's a walkable community. Everyone is within walking distance of the elementary school, and the amenities of 162nd aren’t far away.” Ranch-style houses and Colonial Revivals make up most of the market, with two-bedroom options starting in the upper $300,000s. Four-bedroom, multi-story builds with over 2,000 square feet sell for between $475,000 and $550,000. Fully renovated late 20th-century homes and modern craftsman-style homes built in the past 5 years often go for over $600,000. Additionally, most homes here feature attached, front-facing two-car garages and fenced in quarter-acre back lots.

Parks

At Fir Garden Park, visitors walk along the paved loop path shaded by towering firs while parents watch their kids on the playground. When the rainy weather that the Pacific Northwest is known for subsides, folks can also head to Nikkei Park where, along with a paved path and dinosaur-themed playground, locals will find a basketball court and picnic pavilion.

Schools

Families here are served by Evergreen Public Schools, and young kids can start their K-12 careers at Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary School, which earns a C-plus overall grade from Niche and has a student-to-teacher ratio of 12-1. Pacific Middle School earns a B-minus rating and offers a variety of extracurricular offerings, from dance team to Dungeons & Dragons club. After the eighth grade, students can attend Union High School, which earns an impressive A-minus grade and is the 5th best public high school in Clark County, according to Niche. Union is also the 10th-best high school in Washington for athletes, with 25 sports teams, including bowling, dance and fastpitch softball.

Transportation

Northeast 39th and 49th streets can take residents west toward I-205 or Route 500, with downtown Vancouver located 10 miles west. Additionally, Vancouver’s C-TRAN bus system has numerous stops along 39th Street and Portland International Airport is a 20-minute drive south.

Shopping and Dining

The neighborhood's two closest grocery stores, Safeway and Walmart Supercenter, are two miles north of Burnt Bridge Creek Elementary School on Northeast Fourth Plain Boulevard. This is also where locals can eat at top-rated restaurants like Goldie’s Barbecue, where patrons savor southern-style barbecue dishes from fried okra and collard greens to beef brisket and pork ribs. Presso Coffee Co. is five minutes down the road and offers hot cups of Joe with latte art and a small selection of breakfast options. “Growth of major employers is likely going to bring more buyers to the area in upcoming years,” Rosengren says. “Amazon is developing a warehouse just north of Burnt Bridge Creek.”
