If you're thinking about moving to the Hockinson area of Clark County, it's worth knowing this is a rural-residential community about 14 miles northeast of downtown Vancouver — acreage properties, horse ranches and hillside lots rather than a dense subdivision.
Hockinson doesn't have a distinct named sub-neighborhood the way Camas does — the area itself functions as its own community.
