What the homes are actually like
Comstock Estates is a well-established Prune Hill community with homes built primarily in the late 1990s to early 2000s — the era that consistently produced some of the best-value construction in the Camas market. You'll find a genuine mix of layouts here: single-level ranch homes that are genuinely rare on Prune Hill at this price point, alongside traditional two-story configurations with the full primary-suite-up layout that most families prefer.
Sizes run from around 1,950 square feet on the single-level end up to 2,300-plus square feet on the larger two-story homes. Inside, the finish package reflects quality construction — hardwood floors, slab granite kitchens with cherry cabinets, vaulted ceilings, covered decks positioned to take advantage of the mountain views, jetted tubs, and corner lots on cul-de-sacs with the kind of oversized yards that newer construction has largely stopped offering. Lots average around 8,700 square feet — meaningful outdoor space on a hill where builders have historically been more generous than they had to be.
Current pricing in Comstock Estates is trading right around the upper $700s to low $800s — a genuinely compelling value for the location, the lot size, and what the views deliver on a daily basis.
The mountain views are the real differentiator
Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens from your backyard deck. That's not a phrase to skim past. On a clear Pacific Northwest morning — and there are more of those than people who haven't lived here realize — this view is the reason people chose these lots in the first place and the reason they stay. The fact that some homes also back up to Prune Hill Elementary School means kids can walk to school through the backyard. That's the kind of detail that doesn't show up in square footage but changes daily life in real and tangible ways.
The location works in every direction
NW 26th Avenue on Prune Hill puts you close to everything Camas does well without being in the middle of any of it. Downtown Camas — the brick storefronts, locally owned restaurants, the Wednesday Farmers Market — is a short drive down the hill. Lacamas Lake and the Lacamas Park trail network are close. Portland is 25 to 30 minutes via SR-14. And Washington residency means no Oregon income tax — at the household income levels common to buyers in this price range, that annual savings number is worth running before you finalize where you want to live.
Schools are a constant here
Comstock Estates feeds directly into the Camas School District — some homes literally back up to Prune Hill Elementary — with the full pipeline running through Skyridge Middle School and Camas High School. The district consistently ranks among the top in Washington State. Camas High School is a documented driver of relocation demand into this zip code. That school-driven floor under home values holds across market cycles and protects resale in ways that lot size and finish level alone cannot.
Who this neighborhood is for
Comstock Estates is for buyers who want established Prune Hill character — mountain views, quality construction, generous lots, cul-de-sac positioning — without pushing into the seven-figure luxury tier that some of the hill's more prominent addresses require. It's a particularly strong fit for buyers who want a single-level home on Prune Hill, which is genuinely rare and genuinely valuable. It's also a strong fit for families with school-age kids who want the convenience of walking distance to elementary school built into the lot itself.
The combination of location, views, and price point is not one you stumble across often. When something comes available in Comstock Estates, buyers who've been paying attention know to move.
