Central Park Townhomes for Sale

Central Park, one of Vancouver's oldest neighborhoods, features a mix of smaller bungalows and minimalist traditional houses built between the 1910s and 1940s. These homes, often updated, sit on lots ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 square feet, typically including a small driveway and carport. The neighborhood is notable for its historical significance, with residents occasionally finding artifacts from the mid-1800s when Fort Vancouver officers lived in the area. Central Park encompasses several key institutions, including Clark College, Hudson's Bay High School, the Vancouver VA Hospital, and the Washington State School for the Blind. The area is also home to several parks, such as the 25-acre Water Works Park with its walking trail and Swift Skate Park, and the 14-acre Marshall Park, currently undergoing renovations. Despite fewer sidewalks, the neighborhood is bike-friendly with lanes on main thoroughfares. Local dining options include Pho Hong Phat Vietnamese Restaurant, Thai Little Home Thai Restaurant, and Mi Casa Pupuseria Y Mexican Restaurant. For groceries, residents can visit Walmart's Vancouver Neighborhood Market or the Grand Central Retail Center, which houses a Fred Meyer and several eateries. Central Park's proximity to I-5 allows for a quick 15-minute drive to downtown Portland. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, making it a practical and appealing choice for residents.
