Area Guide

Vancouver Waterfront Vancouver, WA

A perfectly peaceful residential neighborhood along an industrial riverfront

Riverfront Industrial Quiet

Along Columbia River lies the Vancouver Waterfront, a sprawling strip of land filled with industrial centers, warehouses, and various housing options in the state of Washington. With numerous industries in this neighborhood, many of its daily inhabitants are in town for work, with big businesses employing a large number of people.

However, the industry is just one side of this riverfront town. Townhomes, apartments, houses, and condos are spread across the shoreline offering a wonderful variety for renters to choose from. With great access to highways like I-5 and public transit through the Vancouver Train Station, residents have many options in and out of town.

Local restaurants like McMenamins on the Columbia and Beaches Restaurant & Bar are major hotspots along Columbia River. With unbeatable views, delicious eats, and a lively crowd, these riverfront restaurants are a hit with locals and visitors alike. For more entertainment, dining, and shopping options, residents flock to Downtown Vancouver, directly north of the Vancouver Waterfront!
