Why Vancouver Heights Stands Out

This area has a unique blend of mid-century homes, tree-lined streets, and local restaurants that give it a warm, small-community atmosphere—despite being minutes from the city center. Whether you enjoy local coffee shops, neighborhood parks, or historic charm, Vancouver Heights provides it all.

Residents appreciate the quick access to I-5, Highway 14, and Downtown Vancouver. The ability to get almost anywhere in under 15 minutes is one of the major reasons relocating buyers choose this central location.

Schools Serving Vancouver Heights

Vancouver Heights is served by Vancouver Public Schools, including:

• Marshall Elementary

• McLoughlin Middle School

• Fort Vancouver High School

These schools offer a wide variety of academic pathways and extracurricular programs, making the neighborhood appealing for families who value convenience and community.

Commute Times

This is one of Vancouver’s most centrally located neighborhoods:

• To PDX Airport: ~12–16 minutes

• To Downtown Vancouver: ~5–7 minutes

Residents enjoy fast access to city amenities, waterfront restaurants, and major employment hubs.

Housing Costs in Vancouver Heights

Homes in this neighborhood offer great value and character compared to many newer developments.

Typical prices include:

• Single-family homes: $450,000–$700,000

• Remodeled or expanded homes: up to $800,000+

• Condos/townhomes: $275,000–$400,000

Many homes have been thoughtfully updated while preserving their original charm.

Rent Costs

Rentals in this area tend to be more affordable and accessible than in North or East Vancouver.

Typical ranges:

• Homes: $1,900–$2,700/month

• Apartments/duplexes: $1,400–$2,000/month

The walkability and central location make the Heights a popular rental choice.

Why Buyers Relocating to Vancouver Choose The Heights

• Character-rich homes

• Walkability to shops and dining

• Quick access to freeways and the waterfront

• Strong sense of community

For buyers wanting a blend of urban and suburban living, Vancouver Heights is an ideal fit.
