Elk Prairie is a 47-lot Taylor Morrison neighborhood on the southeast edge of Battle Ground, off SE Grace Avenue just north of the Cedar Heights neighborhoods. The homes now selling are mostly one-story plans of about 1,660 to 2,080 square feet, plus a two-story plan with a bedroom and full bath on the main floor. Prices start at $574,999, and every home comes with a fenced yard, a covered patio and front-yard landscaping that the community maintains.
It suits buyers who want single-level living in a new home without moving out to acreage: downsizers, couples and small households who'd rather skip stairs and yard work. The one thing that sets it apart is the open space. A tract of about 10 acres sits inside the second phase, several lots back onto it with no rear neighbors, and Taylor Morrison sells those greenbelt lots as a premium option. This guide covers the plans, the three homes for sale now, the current rate offer and its fine print, the schools, and what we'd check before writing an offer.

Two more two-story plans, the Laurel II (4 bed, 2.5 bath, 2,162 sq ft, three-car) and the Cypress II (4 bed, 3 bath, 2,162 sq ft), show "interest list forming" with no price yet. The original Calliope and Laurel plans from the first phase are sold out.
Taylor Morrison's own walkthrough of the Walnut II, filmed at its Ovation at Oak Tree community in Lacey, shows the same 2,078 sq ft plan; finishes and options at Elk Prairie differ:
What's included: shaker cabinets with 42-inch uppers and soft-close drawers, a stainless appliance package, RevWood flooring in the entry, kitchen and powder room, tile bath floors and counters, a smart lock and smart thermostat, full yard fencing with a side gate, a washed-aggregate driveway, 2x6 exterior walls, low-E windows and a covered patio. Recent listings add quartz counters, a heat pump and a GE appliance package. Design choices run through Canvas, Taylor Morrison's set of designer-curated collections, rather than an open-ended options list. One detail we'd confirm for you: the builder's feature list mentions a gas range, while the MLS listings describe all-electric homes with heat pumps.

Current incentive: a 5.49% (5.60% APR) 30-year conventional fixed rate through Taylor Morrison Home Funding on select quick move-in homes, for contracts written September 29 through October 31, 2026 that close by November 30, 2026. To get it, you pre-apply with Taylor Morrison Home Funding before you offer, finance with them, and use the seller's chosen closing agent; the loan must be conventional, within conforming limits and owner-occupied. The seller contributes up to 1.5% of the price toward the buydown, points, HOA dues and closing costs, the rate comes from a limited pool of funds, and it doesn't combine with other offers. The closing deadline matters here: 3012 SE 11th Ave isn't scheduled to be ready until December 31, so let us know which home you like and we'll find out whether it qualifies. Front-yard landscaping and maintenance are included across the community.

Taylor Morrison is a national homebuilder and land developer based in Scottsdale, Arizona, publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (TMHC). It closed 12,997 homes in 2025, and it markets itself as "America's Most Trusted Home Builder," a recognition it says it has held 11 years running. The Pacific Northwest homes are built by Taylor Morrison Northwest, LLC. In Clark County it's also building Woodin Creek Station and Woodin Creek Station Townhomes on the southwest side of Battle Ground.
Taylor Morrison's published warranty is one year on workmanship, two years on mechanical systems and ten years on structural elements, with details that vary by state, and it describes more than 300 quality checks during construction. Its affiliated lender is Taylor Morrison Home Funding, and buyers are welcome to bring their own agent. We'll get the Washington warranty document from the sales office before you sign, so you know what's covered and how to submit a request.
Schools
Elk Prairie is in Battle Ground Public Schools. We checked addresses in both phases against Clark County's attendance-area maps (published August 2026), and every one maps to the same three schools. The current MLS listings and the builder's site agree.
| Level | School | Grades | Drive time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary | Tukes Valley Primary | Pre-K–4 | 5 minutes |
| Middle | Tukes Valley Middle | 5–8 | 5 minutes (same campus on NE 167th Ave) |
| High | Battle Ground High | 9–12 | 7 minutes |
Drive times are free-flowing from the sales office. We didn't find a boundary change for 2026–27. Tell us the address you're considering and we'll confirm the assignment with the district before you write an offer.
Battle Ground Public Schools' operations levy failed in April 2025 and February 2026, and a new levy, Proposition 11, is on the November 3, 2026 ballot at about $1.76 per $1,000 of assessed value. It's worth following, since it affects both school programs and your property tax.
Inside the community
The open space is the main amenity. The second-phase plat includes a tract of about 10 acres, and the county maps oak woodland habitat and possible wetlands in that area. Homes on the greenbelt lots have no rear neighbors, and recent listings describe views of trees and the greenbelt. Taylor Morrison also describes the neighborhood as within walking distance of more than 100 acres of natural area; it doesn't say which land that is, so we'd ask the sales office to show it on a map. Clark County's Salmon-Morgan Creeks Natural Area, more than 80 acres of forest and meadow with roughly a mile and a half of soft-surface trails, lies less than a mile to the east.
There's no clubhouse, pool or gate. Every home has a fenced yard with a side gate and a covered patio. HOA dues are $70 a month, and Taylor Morrison includes front-yard landscaping and maintenance. The CC&Rs, the HOA budget and the management company aren't published online, so we'd get them before you commit, including the rules on fences, parking, RVs and rentals. A few short streets inside the community are private roads, and we'd find out who maintains them.

What it costs to own
- Jurisdiction: City of Battle Ground. Police service is the Battle Ground Police Department and fire is Clark Fire District 3.
- Utilities: Clark Public Utilities for power and water, Battle Ground for public sewer. The listed homes are electric with heat pumps.
- Property tax: the 2026 levy for this tax code area is about $6.36 per $1,000 of assessed value, roughly $3,800 a year on a $600,000 home. Current listings show a tax figure of $901, which reflects the lot before the home was finished; budget for the full amount. If the school levy passes in November, add about $1.76 per $1,000 starting in 2027.
- HOA: $70 a month.
- Impact fees: paid by the builder and built into the price. Battle Ground's 2026 schedule includes a $10,760 school fee, $4,538 for parks and $3,943 for traffic, plus water and sewer connection charges. Our custom homes guide compares fees across the county.
What's changing nearby
The rest of Elk Prairie's second phase is still being built, with the listed homes finishing between October and December 2026 and two more plans in the interest-list stage, so expect some construction nearby into 2027. Directly south, Cedar Heights North, a 79-lot neighborhood recorded in February 2025, is also selling new homes. The city's 2026 street preservation program, budgeted at $8.82 million, includes portions of NE Grace Ave and the Salmon Creek bridge on SE Grace Ave; the city hasn't published construction dates. Farther north, the city's planned SE Grace Avenue Phase 2 project would widen Grace between Main Street and Rasmussen to three lanes with sidewalks and bike lanes; regional planning documents show it in design, and we can check the timing with the city if it affects the lot you like.
What to check before you buy
- Lots along SE Grace Ave. Six lots on the west edge, including 1101 SE 33rd St and 3008 SE 11th Ave, carry a county road-noise code, and Clark Public Utilities' overhead lines, including a transmission line, run along Grace. Visit at rush hour and compare those lots with interior and greenbelt lots before you choose.
- What the greenbelt premium buys. Reach out and we'll get the site map, which lots carry a premium and how much, and what's planned for the open-space tract so you know what will stay behind your yard.
- Ground and drainage. County maps show possible wetlands and oak habitat on parts of the property. Tell us the lot and we'll request the builder's grading and drainage plan for it.
- Whether the rate offer fits your timeline. The 5.49% rate needs a contract by October 31 and closing by November 30 with Taylor Morrison Home Funding. Compare it against a price reduction or closing-cost credit and an outside lender's quote over the years you expect to keep the loan.
- Price history. 3012 SE 11th Ave has been listed about 120 days, the Riverbend has been reduced $25,000, and a nearby Walnut II sold $20,000 under its list price. That's useful context for negotiating.
- Feature details. The builder's list and the listings differ on the range (gas or electric). Tell us the home and we'll get the included features in writing.
- The HOA documents. The CC&Rs, the budget and the management contact aren't online; we'll get them for you and find out exactly what front-yard maintenance covers.
- Inspections. A licensed inspector before closing, and again before the first-year warranty ends, keeps any fixes on the builder.
How we help here
At Elk Prairie we start with the lot. We pull the plat and the county's maps for the homes you're considering, so you can see which ones sit along SE Grace Ave and which back onto the open space, and we get the greenbelt premium and the site plan in writing. Then we work the numbers: we run Taylor Morrison Home Funding's 5.49% offer against outside lender quotes and against a price or closing-cost concession, using the recent sales and price cuts in the community as context, and we check whether the home you want can close by the November 30 deadline. We get the HOA documents in front of you before you commit, confirm the schools for the exact address, and coordinate the licensed inspections before closing and before the first-year warranty walk-through. Our construction background helps us look closely at a home that's still being finished.
Before you commit to anything, you'll have a written Engagement Proposal with the exact scope and fee.
