Central Park Homes for Sale

Central Park in Vancouver, Washington, is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, originally housing officers from Fort Vancouver in the mid-1800s. Today, the area features smaller bungalows and minimalist traditional houses built between the 1910s and 1940s, situated on lots ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 square feet. These homes, often updated, are priced below the Portland Metro's median home price due to their age and size. The neighborhood is served by the Vancouver School District, which includes Harney Elementary School, Discovery Middle School, and Hudson's Bay High School. Central Park is home to several points of interest, including Clark College's main campus, the historic Old City Cemetery, the Vancouver VA Hospital, and the Washington State School for the Blind. Residents can enjoy outdoor activities at Water Works Park, which features a walking trail and Swift Skate Park, as well as Quarnberg Park and Marshall Park, the latter currently undergoing renovations. For shopping and dining, the neighborhood offers convenient access to Walmart's Vancouver Neighborhood Market and the Grand Central Retail Center, which includes Fred Meyer and several local restaurants. Although sidewalks are less common, bike lanes on main thoroughfares like East Fourth Plain Boulevard and East Mill Plain Boulevard provide alternative transportation options. The neighborhood's proximity to I-5 allows for a quick 15-minute drive to downtown Portland's restaurants and shops.
