Columbia Way is a small waterfront neighborhood on the south side of Vancouver, tucked between Lewis and Clark Highway and the bank of the Columbia River. While much of the community is occupied by warehouses and industrial space, this neighborhood also hosts a thriving residential sector. The local apartments, condos, and houses often enjoy beautiful views clear across the river to Oregon, and residents have a wealth of amenities at their fingertips.

Waterside hangouts like McMenamins Vancouver, Savona Coffeehouse, and Beaches Restaurant and Bar take full advantage of the setting to create scenic and stylish ambience. Waterfront Renaissance Trail provides a great route for walking, running, or biking, whether you want to get into Downtown without driving or just get some exercise.
