Burnt Bridge Creek sits near rural land and Portland access

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.

Most homes built after 1970 with walkable streets and schools

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 five 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.
