Ashbury is the hilltop in Felida where the 2023 Parade of Homes was held, and it is still selling. Thirty custom lots of 10,000 to 16,000 square feet, most of them sold, with two local builders working the ones that remain: Kingston Homes, whose Parade entry, Vivid, swept nine industry awards and seven people's choice awards that year, and Cascade West Development, the Ridgefield custom builder with thirty-five years in the county. The community sits above Foley Park with a walking trail down into it, has territorial and mountain views from the upper lots, and is a few minutes from Felida Community Park, the Salmon Creek Greenway and the Felida schools.
The published starting price is $1.25 million. The three homes actually for sale today are $2.0 million, $2.075 million and $2.3 million, two of them presales finishing in March 2027. That gap between the starting price and the built product is the first thing to understand about Ashbury, and this guide is mostly about the decisions that live inside it.

What makes Ashbury worth considering
Felida is the part of northwest Vancouver that people who already live in Clark County move to when they want the lot and the trees without leaving the city's school district. It sits between Salmon Creek and Vancouver Lake, with Felida Community Park's fifteen acres of fields and playground, the four-mile Salmon Creek Greenway, Cougar Creek Woods and the Vancouver Lake shoreline all inside a few minutes' drive, and three wineries closer than the freeway. Ashbury is the last sizable custom subdivision on the Felida hill, and it borders a county park with a two-acre orchard and a dog park, reachable on foot by the neighborhood trail.
The lots are the point. Ten thousand square feet is the floor; the largest exceed fifteen thousand. In a county where production communities now sell on 4,000 to 6,000 square foot lots, that alone explains the price. The upper lots have views to Mt. St. Helens and over the Salmon Creek greenway; the Parade homes were built on them.
The builders are both real custom shops with awards to show for it. Kingston, a Vancouver company, was the county's 2023 Builder of the Year, builds Energy Star certified homes, and publishes an Ashbury standard-features sheet that is unusually strong: ten-foot main-floor and nine-foot upper ceilings, eight-foot doors, custom soft-close cabinetry, slab counters, KitchenAid built-ins with a five-burner gas cooktop, mud-set tiled primary shower with frameless glass, a heat pump, an 80-gallon heat-pump water heater, an energy-recovery ventilator, blown-in insulation well above code, two-by-six framing, fiber-cement siding, full front and back landscaping with sprinklers and a six-foot cedar fence. Flooring and lighting are handled as allowances rather than packages. Cascade West brings 23 Parade plans and its own allowance-based process, which we describe in the Firestone Ridge guide.
What is for sale, and what it tells you
Kingston's finished spec at Lot 13, 3,279 square feet on a 15,479 square foot lot, with four bedrooms, two of them en suite, white oak floors, Thermador appliances and a twenty-by-nineteen flex room, was listed at $2.1 million and was relisted in September 2026 at $2,075,000. Public listing records for the same address show it at $1.65 million in December 2024 and $1.95 million later, so the number rose as the house was finished and furnished, and the relist is its first reduction. Kingston's sold Vail on Lot 2, 3,530 square feet with three en-suite bedrooms and a shop bay, has no public closing price.
The two presales at $2.0 million and $2.3 million are being marketed by an outside agent for "a Parade of Homes award-winning local builder," which on Kingston's lot map are Kingston lots. Both complete in March 2027, which means eighteen months of construction-loan or deposit exposure before you move in.
Cascade West's two vacant lots, Lot 1 at 10,453 square feet on NW 21st Avenue and corner Lot 21 at 11,365 square feet on NW 17th, carry no published price; Cascade West quotes the lot with the plan. Its third lot, Lot 20, has sold.
No closed-sale price at Ashbury is public. That is unusual for a community three years into selling and it means your comparable-sales work has to be done through the MLS, not the internet.
What to watch out for
The starting price is not the house
"From $1.25 million" is the entry to a conversation about a 2,300 square foot single-level plan on the plainest available lot. Every finished home here has listed at $2 million or above. Neither number is wrong. The difference is lot position, plan size and the allowance decisions in between, and it is the largest range between starting price and built product of any community we track in the county. Tell us which lot and plan you're weighing and we'll get the lot price on its own line, the plan's base price on its own line, and the allowance figures written down, before the three combine into one number that's hard to take apart.
Two builders, two processes
Kingston sells plans with a standard-features sheet and allowances for flooring and lighting. Cascade West builds custom from its Parade plans with allowances across the board and no packages. Each is a good way to build a house. They are not comparable on a sticker price. The comparison is the features sheet plus the allowances plus the lot, for the same plan size, from both. Let us know you're comparing them and we'll request it from each builder.
Eighteen months is a long time
The presales complete in March 2027. If one interests you, tell us and we'll find out how the purchase is structured, what deposits are due when, whether you or the builder carries the construction financing, and what happens to your deposit and your rate lock if completion slips. Cascade West offers month-to-month rentals during construction on some of its lots, which tells you they have thought about it. We'll check that the contract has too.
The HOA you can't read yet
The association exists and current MLS listings show dues of about $85 a month. Its rules on exterior colors, fences, RVs and rentals, and who runs it during buildout, are not published anywhere. Reach out before you reserve a lot and we'll pull the CC&Rs from the county recorder or the builder.
Schools, confirmed by address
The builders say Felida Elementary, Thomas Jefferson Middle and Skyview High, and the Parade used those schools for parking, so it is likely right. The district's boundary tool is the authority, so tell us which lot you're looking at and we'll check the address there.
Inspections
Yes, on a custom home, three of them by a licensed inspector: pre-drywall, pre-closing and before the one-year warranty expires. Kingston's warranty is one year on workmanship and materials, then two through ten on structure and systems through Centricity, with a promise of a response within a business day. Cascade West's is one year plus a 2-10 policy on qualifying homes. Both are solid. Both have dates.
Why bring your own representation
The Kingston sales manager and the Cascade West team are experienced and easy to work with, and they work for their builders. In nearly all cases the builder covers the buyer's agent's fee. What you get is someone who takes a $2 million number apart into its lot, plan and allowances, compares the two builders on the same footing, reads the presale contract for the eighteen-month gap, and knows what an energy-recovery ventilator and an 80-gallon heat-pump water heater are worth when the other side of the comparison does not have them. Everything we find goes in writing before you sign — here's how we work.
