Buying in Fircrest Landing (Vancouver, WA): 14 D.R. Horton Homes a Mile From I-205

Fircrest Landing is a 14-home D.R. Horton community on NE 120th Court and NE 16th Street in east Vancouver's Fircrest neighborhood, next door to D.R. Horton's Fircrest Meadows and sold from the same office. It mixes one-story and two-story Express Series plans of about 1,460 to 2,450 square feet, and it's close to built out: the builder lists one home, a four-bedroom Sellwood at $609,995 on the largest lot in the plat.

It suits buyers who want a newer home on a quiet cul-de-sac with a short drive to everything: I-205 is four minutes away, Safeway and WinCo are five, and LeRoy Haagen Memorial Park is three. This guide covers the plans built here, the home for sale, the schools, the HOA, the power lines along the east edge, and what we'd check before writing an offer.

The homes

D.R. Horton describes Fircrest Landing as 14 single-family homes with one- and two-story plans, three or four bedrooms, and 1.5- or 2-car garages. The builder's page now shows one plan, because only one home is left to sell:

• Sellwood: 4 bed, 2.5 bath, 2,230 sq ft, two stories, two-car garage, from $609,995. An open main floor with a powder room, a kitchen island with a breakfast bar and a full pantry, an electric fireplace, and a covered patio off the dining area. All four bedrooms and the laundry are upstairs, and the primary suite has a walk-in closet and a double vanity.

Earlier homes here included the Spruce II, a one-story plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 1,458 sq ft, a vaulted great room and a two-car garage wired for a level 2 EV charger. Two Spruce II homes are pending sale, listed at $503,000 and $519,995. County records show two more homes, of about 2,265 and 2,490 sq ft, sold in July 2026 for $584,995 each.

What's included: quartz counters, soft-close shaker cabinets, premium laminate and LVT flooring, stainless appliances, an electric fireplace, a fenced backyard and covered patio, a smart-home package (thermostat and doorbell), and a 10-year limited warranty. Listings describe the homes as all-electric, with a heat pump and central air, an electric water heater and a heat recovery ventilator. As an Express Series community, the options list is short, so the home you tour is close to the home you get.

Home for sale now:

Address	Plan	Beds / baths	Sq ft	Lot	Price
1613 NE 120th Court	Sellwood	4 / 2.5	2,230	About 13,400 sq ft	$609,995

D.R. Horton calls it a premium homesite at the end of the cul-de-sac with territorial views east. The builder's page doesn't give a ready date; the county lists it as built in 2026, so once you reach out we'll find out from the sales office whether it's finished. The other homes in the plat no longer appear on the builder's page, and we couldn't confirm the status of all of them.

Current incentive: the Fircrest Landing page doesn't show a dated promotion. Recent MLS remarks on homes here described a below-market rate and a flex credit for closing costs, options or upgrades through DHI Mortgage, the builder's affiliated lender, with no end date. Tell us you're interested and we'll ask the sales office what applies to 1613 today, then compare any lender offer against an outside quote over the years you expect to keep the loan.

The builder

D.R. Horton, based in Arlington, Texas, has been the largest homebuilder in the country by volume for 24 years running; it closed nearly 85,000 homes in fiscal 2025. Its other communities nearby include Fircrest Meadows next door, Oakpointe Crossing and Fisher's Creek Terrace in east Vancouver, Kunze Farms near Vancouver Mall, and Cascade Terrace off SE 192nd Avenue.

Fircrest Landing is part of the Express Series, the company's value line, launched in 2014 around a limited set of options. The published warranty is a 10-year limited builder warranty. D.R. Horton's general warranty overview describes one year on workmanship and materials, two years on major systems and ten on structural items, with a third-party administrator for the structural coverage. Let us know you're considering the home and we'll get the Washington warranty booklet from the sales office before you sign, so you know exactly what's covered and how to file a request.

Schools

Fircrest Landing is in Evergreen Public Schools. Clark County's attendance-area maps (published August 2026) and the county's parcel records place all 14 lots in the same three schools, and the builder's page and MLS listings agree:

School	Grades	Students (2025-26)	Drive from 1613 NE 120th Ct
Fircrest Elementary, 12001 NE 9th St	K–5	320	4 minutes
Cascade Middle, 13900 NE 18th St	6–8	810	5 minutes
Evergreen High, 14300 NE 18th St	9–12	1,345	4 minutes

Drive times are in free-flowing traffic. Endeavour Elementary is closer by car but isn't the assigned school here. Cascadia Technical Academy, a regional skills center for juniors and seniors, is about a mile north on NE 28th Street.

Evergreen doesn't publish an online address lookup; its Boundary Department confirms the school for a specific address. Tell us which home you're looking at and we'll confirm the school with the district before you write an offer. We didn't find boundary changes for 2026-27 or new schools planned nearby.

Inside the community

Fircrest Landing is one short cul-de-sac and a few homes on NE 16th Street. There's no clubhouse, pool or gate; the builder points to the parks and services around it instead. The HOA owns one common tract of about 13,000 square feet, and the plat doesn't say online whether it's open space or stormwater; we'll find out once you reach out. Every home has a fenced backyard and a covered patio. The county maps the plat outside the flood zone.

HOA dues are $123 a month, per current MLS listings. The management company, the budget and the CC&Rs aren't published online, and listings note that covenants apply. With only 14 homes sharing the costs, we'd ask for the HOA documents and budget before you commit, including the rules on fences, parking, RVs and rentals.

What it costs to own

• Jurisdiction: Fircrest Landing is inside the City of Vancouver. Police service is the Vancouver Police Department, fire service is Vancouver Fire, and land use and streets are the city's.
• Utilities: City of Vancouver water and sewer; Clark Public Utilities for power. The homes are all-electric.
• Property tax: the 2026 levy for this tax code area is $10.097 per $1,000 of assessed value, about $6,160 a year on a $610,000 assessment. New-construction listings often show a partial-year figure; budget for the full amount.
• HOA: $123 a month.
• Impact fees: paid by the builder at permit and built into the price. In Vancouver, Evergreen Public Schools charges no school impact fee, and the city's park fee is $6,130 per home. Our custom homes guide compares fees across the county.

What's changing nearby

Not much is changing right around Fircrest Landing. The plat itself is nearly finished, and Fircrest Meadows next door is down to its final homes, so construction traffic on these streets should wind down. NE 18th Street between I-205 and NE 136th Avenue was widened in phases finished in 2012 and 2018. The bigger road project in east Vancouver is the SE 192nd Avenue corridor, several miles east, with construction listed for 2027. We didn't find new development proposals within a mile.

What to check before you buy

• The power lines. County utility maps show a Clark Public Utilities 115 kV overhead transmission line along the east edge of the plat, a few feet from the lot lines of 1613 and 1614 NE 120th Court and 12034 NE 16th Street, and the BPA transmission corridor runs about 85 feet north of the northern lots. The same east edge gives 1613 its territorial view and a lot more than three times the usual size. Stand in the backyard with us, look at where the towers sit relative to the house, and weigh the line against the extra land; we pull recent resales next to similar lines in east Vancouver so the price reflects both.
• Lot size and placement. Most lots are about 3,450 to 4,600 square feet, and three corner lots are 10,000 square feet or more. Tell us which lot you're weighing and we'll check which way the backyard faces and how much of a large lot is usable yard.
• Ready date and price history. The builder doesn't publish a completion date for 1613, and the two recorded sales here closed at $584,995 each in July for two-story homes of about 2,265 and 2,490 square feet. With one home left, reach out and we'll ask what the builder will do on price, closing costs or the rate, and compare it against the recent sales.
• The school for your address. The county maps put the whole plat in Fircrest, Cascade and Evergreen. Once you tell us you're interested, we'll confirm it with Evergreen's Boundary Department before you write an offer.
• The HOA documents. The dues come from listings, not published documents, and 14 homes is a small budget. Reach out and we'll request the CC&Rs, the budget, the reserve plan and the management contact, and find out what the HOA tract is.
• The lender offer. Send us any DHI Mortgage rate or credit and we'll compare it against an outside lender's quote over the years you expect to keep the loan.
• Inspections. New homes still have defects. A licensed inspector before closing, and again before the warranty's first year ends, keeps fixes on the builder.

How we help here

At Fircrest Landing the decision is one home, so we start there. We walk 1613 NE 120th Court with you to see the view, the yard and the transmission line together, and we pull nearby resales on comparable lots so you know how the line and the extra land show up in value. We compare the asking price against the July sales here and next door at Fircrest Meadows, then negotiate the levers a builder has on a last home: price, closing costs and the rate offer, run against outside quotes so you can see which costs less. We confirm the school with Evergreen, get the HOA documents and budget in front of you before you commit, and coordinate the licensed inspections before closing and before the first-year warranty walk-through. Our construction background means we know what to look at in a production home before you sign off on it.

Before you commit to anything, you'll have a written Engagement Proposal with the exact scope and fee.
