Northwest Vancouver
Established homes and competitive prices
Northwest Vancouver offers a collection of ranch-style and split-level houses built between 1950 and 1970 that you'll find on the same streets as contemporary houses built in the past two decades. Most homes range from $450,000 to $650,000, while some houses on the neighborhood’s west end feature ridge-side views of Vancouver Lake and have price tags between $750,000 and $900,000. With an average listing price of $545,000, houses here tend to be a bit pricier compared to the average Vancouver home. “It’s a walkable area that’s appealing to people of all ages,” Muscarella says. “A lot of families live here, and parents can walk their young kids to the elementary school.” The neighborhood’s quarter-acre lots often feature fenced-in back yards and landscaped front yards dotted with shrubbery and flowers.

Hazel Dell amenities
While the community is almost entirely residential, driving 2 miles east along Northwest 78th Street brings folks to the retail and dining hub of Hazel Dell. Popular grocery options include Fred Meyer, Walmart, Safeway and WinCo Foods. The area is dotted with popular chains and fast-food dining options, along with a selection of local spots like Peachtree Restaurant and Pie House, where patrons can enjoy sweet and savory brunch favorites all day. El Tapatio is one of the many Mexican restaurants in Hazel Dell and is known for its generous helpings.

Hiking along the greenway
The 12-acre Franklin Park is home to plentiful open field space along with a playground and picnic tables. A mile north is the Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway, where nature lovers can take the wooded trail from the Stewart Glen Trailhead a mile southeast to the Alki Park and Walk or hike the trail’s full 8 miles to Vancouver’s Burton Ridge neighborhood. Vancouver Lake Regional Park is a short drive away from the community’s residential streets and is home to walking trails, picnic areas and a sandy beach that is popular in the summer months. During the warmer season, folks can lounge on the sand or swim in the lake's cool waters while rowers and kayakers drift atop its surface.

Walk the kids to school
Local families are within walking distance of Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, which earns a B overall grade from Niche and serves around 350 of the area’s students. Discovery Middle School earns a C rating and a student-to-teacher ratio of 15-1. Hudson’s Bay High School is a 10-minute drive from Northwest Vancouver. Students here can consider participating in one of the school’s 20 clubs, with topics ranging from K-pop to American Sign Language. Additionally, Niche gives Hudson’s Bay High a C-plus grade, with B ratings on its extracurricular offerings and college preparatory initiatives. The neighborhood’s southside is home to Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, a private, K-8 school earning an A-plus grade from Niche.

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.
