Collins Crest is a seven-lot street of single-level custom homes on Prune Hill in Camas, built by Cascade West Development. The lots sit in a row on NW 16th Avenue between NW Astor and NW Cascade Streets, each about 13,000 to 14,000 square feet and flat, which is rare on this hill. The homes run about 3,200 to 3,350 square feet on one floor, with great-room ceilings of 11 to 14 feet and three-car garages.
It suits downsizers and anyone who wants everything on one level without giving up space: the builder designs here for empty nesters and multigenerational households, with roll-in primary showers, extra-wide doors and room in the yard for a pool or a garden. Dorothy Fox Elementary is three minutes away and downtown Camas seven. As of October 2026, three lots have sold, the model home is finished, two more homes are offered as proposed plans, and one bare lot is left.

The homes
Cascade West prices each home from its plan and lot, and lets buyers change the plan. Three homes are priced now, all single level:
| Lot | Address | Status | Bed / bath | Sq ft | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 2546 NW 16th Ave | Model, finished | 3–4 / 3.5 | 3,337 | $1,879,900 |
| 2 | 2458 NW 16th Ave | Proposed | 4 / 3 | 3,282 | $1,864,900 |
| 4 | 2534 NW 16th Ave | Proposed | 3 / 3.5 | 3,186 | $1,847,900 |
| 1 | 2450 NW 16th Ave | Bare lot, 13,977 sq ft | Priced with your plan |
The model (Lot 5) is the one home you can move into now. It has 14-foot ceilings in the entry, kitchen and great room, a 15-foot moving glass wall to a covered patio, a bonus room with a wet bar, and a fourth bedroom that can work as a den with access to the garage. The primary suite has two walk-in closets, heated floors, a tiled roll-in shower and a soaking tub, and the other two bedrooms each have their own bath. The yard is landscaped and fenced. Cascade West's video tour of this home:
Lot 2 is planned as three suites, each with a private bath, plus an office, a mudroom and a great room with 14-foot ceilings. Lot 4 is a Scandinavian-style plan with vaulted ceilings in the great room and primary suite and a rec room. Neither has started construction, so a buyer who reserves now picks the finishes and colors and can still change the plan.
What's standard: fully landscaped front and back yards with sprinklers, exposed-aggregate driveway strips, 8-foot extra-wide doors, a mud-set roll-in shower in the primary bath, quartz or granite slab counters, a gas fireplace with tile surround, wood-wrapped windows, whole-home air conditioning, KitchenAid appliances, James Hardie siding, Milgard windows with a lifetime guarantee, plywood sheathing, 2x6 exterior walls and finished garages. Options include three- to five-car garages, an RV garage or RV parking, and a pre-stained fence with cedar top caps. The homes are on natural gas from NW Natural.
Incentives: none published for Collins Crest as of October 10, 2026.
Financing: Cascade West offers two paths. In the first, the builder owns the lot and carries the construction, and you close on the finished home with a regular mortgage. In the second, with 20% or more down, you can use a one-close construction loan through the builder's preferred lender at HomeStreet Bank, with a rate locked for up to a year of building. We'd compare both against an outside lender's quote.

Cascade West DevelopmentCustom · Builds on your lot · Spec homesCascade West Development is a Ridgefield custom builder founded in 1990 by Lloyd Stenersen.Builder profile →
Cascade West was founded in Ridgefield in 1990 and builds custom homes from Alan Mascord plans that it modifies with each buyer. Its process starts with a refundable lot reservation and a design appointment; the builder then prices the plan and lot, and buyers make selections with Cascade West's vendors and suppliers rather than in a design center. In Camas it's also selling Firestone Ridge, about a mile and a half west on the same hill, and in Clark County Trails at Whipple Creek, Emerald Grove (its 2026 Parade of Homes site) and Cooper Grove Estates. The builder runs a warranty team, but its full warranty terms aren't published, so we'd ask for the warranty document before you sign.
NW Home Builder Group also markets the Collins Crest short plat on its website, showing the same lots. Every home here is built by Cascade West.
Schools
Collins Crest is in the Camas School District. Clark County's attendance-area maps (published 2026) and Cascade West's listings agree on the assigned schools:
| Level | School | Grades | Drive time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary | Dorothy Fox Elementary | K–5 | 3 minutes |
| Middle | Skyridge Middle School | 6–8 | 9 minutes |
| High | Camas High School | 9–12 | 12 minutes |
Drive times are free-flowing from the model home. Discovery High School and Odyssey Middle School, Camas choice programs by application, are on NW Nan Henriksen Way, a few minutes west. We didn't find any announced boundary changes or new schools for 2026–27. The district's boundary map isn't an address lookup, so tell us which lot you're considering and we'll confirm the assignment with the district office (360-335-3000).
Inside the community
Collins Crest is a single row of seven homes on an existing city street, NW 16th Avenue, with established homes across the way. There's no clubhouse, pool, gate or common park; the draw is the lot itself, flat and large enough for a pool, a big garden or an RV garage. The power lines along the lots are underground. The land is zoned R-10 by the City of Camas.
The short plat has CC&Rs (NW Home Builder Group's site lists them, without a working link), but the text and any dues haven't been published, and we didn't find a management company. If you're planning an RV garage, a pool or a fence, let us know and we'll get the CC&Rs in front of you before you reserve.

What it costs to own
- Jurisdiction: City of Camas, with city water and sewer, Camas-Washougal Fire, Clark Public Utilities power and NW Natural gas.
- Property tax: the 2026 levy for this tax area is about $8.94 per $1,000 of assessed value. On an $1,850,000 assessment that's roughly $16,500 a year. New homes are assessed in stages, so an early bill can reflect the land alone; budget for the full amount.
- HOA: the short plat has CC&Rs, but dues haven't been published. Tell us you're interested and we'll find out the amount and what it covers.
- Impact fees: Camas charges a school fee ($6,650), a park fee of $7,896 to $13,712 by home size, a traffic fee and $16,945 in water and sewer connection charges, paid at permit. The builder owns the remaining lots, so these are likely in the price; once you reach out, we'll get that confirmed in writing. Our custom homes guide compares fees across the county.
What's changing nearby
The main change is on the block itself. Three homes are left to build on the lots Cascade West holds (Lots 1, 2 and 4), and Lots 6 and 7 were sold as bare land in late 2024 and haven't been built on yet. Expect construction traffic on this stretch of NW 16th Avenue for a while. We didn't find other approved projects close by on this part of Prune Hill.
What to check before you buy
- Which price is current. NW Home Builder Group's site still shows the model at $1,796,900, while Cascade West's own page shows $1,879,900. We'd get the current price and what it includes in writing.
- Proposed versus finished. Lots 2 and 4 haven't started, so the price is for the plan as drawn. Changes to the plan or finishes move the price, and the build adds months; we'd get the specification and allowances itemized before you sign.
- Lots 6 and 7. They're owned separately, so who builds there and when isn't known yet. If you're choosing between lots, tell us which ones and we'll ask what's planned next door.
- The CC&Rs and dues. They aren't posted online. Reach out and we'll request them, so you can read the rules on pools, RV parking, fences and rentals before you reserve.
- The warranty. The terms aren't published; let us know you're interested and we'll request Cascade West's written warranty.
- School assignment. Share the lot you like and we'll confirm the schools with the district.
- Inspections. A licensed inspector before drywall, before closing and again before the first-year warranty ends keeps fixes on the builder.
How we help here
At Collins Crest the choice is between a finished model and a plan you shape, so we start by pricing both. We compare the model against the two proposed homes and against recent single-level sales on Prune Hill, and we break out what the plan changes and allowance figures on Lots 2 and 4 would actually cost. We get the CC&Rs, the dues and the warranty document in front of you before you reserve, check what's planned on the neighboring lots, and run Cascade West's two financing paths against an outside lender's quote. Then we stay with you through selections, the build and the licensed inspections, and our construction background helps us look closely at a custom home while it can still be changed.
Before you commit to anything, you'll have a written Engagement Proposal with the exact scope and fee.
