Access to freeways, shopping and a strong high school
The Marrion neighborhood of Vancouver has midcentury homes with spacious lots that surround the neighborhood and a shopping center that sidles up next to Interstate 205. Additionally, the neighborhood is also zoned for one of the top-rated schools in the city, Mountain View High School. “If they have teenage children, people are looking for a good school district near infrastructure like grocery stores, hospitals and freeways,” says Jenny Jones, a real estate broker with Coldwell Banker.

Seventies ranch-style homes on large lots
Towering pine trees form the backdrop for the quiet residential streets that make up Marrion, where late midcentury architecture is the most common in the real estate market. Split-level and ranch-style homes constructed in the late 1960s and 1970s often have intricate landscaping in the front yard, fetching between $420,000 and $525,000. Ample lots have room for outdoor living spaces, backyard storage and blooming gardens. A few new traditional builds from the 1990s can be found as well, ranging from $550,000 to $615,000. “It’s more of an established neighborhood, so [residents] have larger square footage for lot size,” Jones says. “They can make it their own because there’s no homeowners association.”

State highway and express bus route to downtown
Marrion is about 8 miles away from downtown Vancouver, and it’s conveniently connected to the city center by several highways. Interstate 205 runs along the east side of the neighborhood, traveling south past the Portland International Airport into the “City of Roses.” Before it crosses the river into Oregon, Interstate 205 traverses Washington state Route 14, which connects drivers to downtown Vancouver. Mill Plain Boulevard also reaches downtown Vancouver, passing several shopping centers. C-TRAN’s Vine on Mill Plain express bus route stops along the boulevard before reaching Vancouver’s city center.

Fresh vegetables at Marrion Neighborhood Garden
Marrion is spotted with green spaces, though none are particularly developed. Children can burn energy at Marrion Elementary School Park, which has a playground and a paved path that loops around its 5 acres. Residents can grow radishes, peppers, onions and other vegetables in the Marrion Neighborhood Garden, or enjoy the largely untouched landscape of the Tranquility Nature Area, a 5.6-acre space with nothing but a trail and a few benches. Farther northwest, the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail starts in Meadowbrook Marsh Park, where beaver, deer and several species of birds inhabit the meadows and wetlands along the trail.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There is not much to see in this area. It is a suburban kind of area, you live, work, and when you want to see an attraction you go to neighboring cities and states. There is not much to do in your own area. The one aspect that might attract people could be the Fort Historic Site, other than that, not much comes to mind.
