Northwest

West Vancouver • Clark County, WA

Northwest is a small, primarily residential neighborhood on the northwest side of central Vancouver, close to downtown and the I-5 corridor. It’s made up largely of older single-family homes and offers an easy, central location within minutes of downtown’s shops, restaurants and waterfront.

This is one of Vancouver’s lower-profile neighborhoods, with relatively little published information about it. Rather than overstate the details, the honest pitch is its core appeal — an affordable, close-in spot near the center of the city — and a recommendation to walk the streets (and talk with Jan) to get a true feel for the specific blocks.
