Harmony Heights is a master-planned community in the Northfield neighborhood of East Vancouver, WA — NE 180th Avenue, roughly between SR-14 and NE 18th Street. What makes it unusual in the Clark County new construction market is that it's not a single-builder community. Two builders are actively selling homes here — Holt Homes and David Weekley Homes — and a third, New Tradition Homes, has announced plans to build in the community starting mid-summer 2026. That means a buyer can walk through model homes from multiple builders in a single afternoon, compare floor plans and pricing side by side, and make a decision with actual context instead of the tunnel vision that comes from seeing only one builder's sales presentation.
That comparison opportunity is exactly why this page exists. The builders' websites will each tell you their own story. This page tells you what to think about before you hear any of them.

What Makes Harmony Heights Worth Considering
The location works. You're in East Vancouver with solid access to I-205, SR-500, and Padden Parkway — roughly 20 minutes to Portland, with PDX airport within reasonable reach via SR-14. The commercial corridor along SE 192nd Avenue is close, which means Target, New Seasons Market, Vancouver Mall, and the usual daily essentials don't require a long drive. You're not isolated out here.
The community's immediate surroundings are its strongest amenity. Harmony Sports Complex is within walking distance — baseball, softball, football, and soccer fields that actually get used. Pacific Community Park is adjacent, with a play structure, communal garden, and skate park. Lacamas Lake Park, with its 300-plus acres of trails, waterfalls, and lake access, is a short drive east. For families with active kids or anyone who wants outdoor access that goes beyond a token neighborhood loop path, this is a genuine differentiator.
Within the community itself, there's a play structure, an outdoor gathering space with a fireplace, a dog park, sidewalks, and trails. David Weekley's site also mentions mountain views from some homesites — worth verifying in person, because "mountain views" can mean anything from a clear sightline to Mt. Hood to a sliver of sky between rooflines.
The schools — Illahee Elementary, Shahala Middle, and Union High — are all in the Evergreen Public Schools district. Union High is a solid school. It's not Camas High, and if you're choosing between communities on the Vancouver-Camas border, the school district distinction matters. Confirm boundary lines before you commit.
Floor Plans and Pricing Overview
This is where Harmony Heights gets interesting. Three builders means three different approaches to floor plans, pricing, included features, and the buying experience itself. Understanding the differences before you visit is the single best thing you can do to avoid spending an afternoon confused.
Holt Homes
Holt is the entry point at Harmony Heights. They're offering four floor plans, all two-story, all 3-bedroom/2-bath, ranging from 1,669 to 2,157 sq ft. Starting prices are in the mid $500s, with current under-construction homes listing from the upper $540s to around $570K.
Available plans:
The 1669 — 3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1,669 sq ft. The smallest and most affordable plan in the community.
The 1816 — 3 Bed, 2 Bath, 1,816 sq ft. A step up in size with a layout that balances living space and efficiency.
The 2009 — 3 Bed, 2 Bath, 2,009 sq ft. Mid-range option with more room to spread out.
The 2157 — 3 Bed, 2 Bath, 2,157 sq ft. The largest Holt plan at Harmony Heights, with an open-concept first floor, spacious great room, and covered patio.
If you've looked at Holt's other communities — particularly The Glades at Green Mountain in Camas — know that the Harmony Heights lineup is a smaller, more focused selection. The Glades offers 11 plans ranging up to nearly 3,000 sq ft with options like single-story living, daylight basements, and 3-car garages. Harmony Heights is a tighter, entry-level-oriented product: all two-story, all 3-bed/2-bath, all under 2,200 sq ft. The included features at Harmony Heights won't be as premium as what Holt is offering in their later phases at The Glades, where improvements like 8-foot doorways, laminate flooring, full tile primary showers, and exterior masonry have become standard. Ask specifically what's included in base at Harmony Heights and what costs extra.
Holt does not offer plan customization — every home is sold post-permitting. Design selections are handled through a third-party partner, not an in-house design center. Expect to add 5–10% or more on top of the base price in upgrades, primarily in hard surfaces like flooring, countertops, and tile.
David Weekley Homes
David Weekley is the dominant builder at Harmony Heights by volume — they're building more than 100 homes across three distinct series, each differentiated by lot width. This is a national builder (Houston-based, the largest privately held homebuilder in the US), and the buying experience reflects that: polished marketing, a dedicated design center, and a sales process that's been refined across dozens of markets. Whether that polish translates to better value for the buyer is a separate question.
The Grove Series — 24-foot homesites (narrowest lots). From the $540s.
The Hosford — From $540,000. 1,587–1,592 sq ft, 2 stories, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, 2-car garage. The most affordable home in the entire community.
The Abernathy — From $555,000. 1,781–1,812 sq ft, 2 stories, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, 2-car garage.
The Meadow Series — 28-foot homesites (mid-width). From the $590s.
The Bridlemile — From $593,000. 2,058–2,069 sq ft, 2 stories, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, 2-car garage.
The Stableford — From $599,990. 2,012 sq ft, 2 stories, 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, 2-car garage. The only 4-bedroom plan in the community across all builders.
The Ardenwald — From $616,000. 2,271–2,278 sq ft, 2 stories, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, 2-car garage. This is the model home plan.
The Forest Series — 34- and 36-foot homesites (widest lots). From the $580s.
The Goose Hollow — From $585,000. 1,435 sq ft, 2–3 bedrooms, 2-car garage. Note: this is the smallest plan in the entire community despite being on the widest lots. The "from $585K" price on the Forest Series is technically accurate but potentially misleading — you're paying for the lot width, not the house size.
The Sunderland — From $658,000. 2,343–2,402 sq ft, 2 stories, 2-car garage.
The Portsmouth — From $668,000. 2,530–2,532 sq ft, 2 stories, 2-car garage, half bath. The largest and most expensive plan in the community.
A note on the series structure: the Forest Series "starting from $585K" sounds like it should be cheaper than the Meadow Series "starting from $593K." It's not — or rather, it is, but only because they've paired the smallest floor plan with the widest lots. The moment you step up to the Sunderland or Portsmouth, you're paying $658K–$668K. Buyers who fixate on the "from" price without understanding the full range within each series are exactly the buyers who end up surprised.
David Weekley also offers what they call FlexSpace — configurable areas within some plans that can serve as a home office, playroom, guest room, or other use depending on the buyer's needs. It's a smart concept, but understand what "flex" actually means in practice before assuming it's the same as a dedicated room.
New Tradition Homes (Coming Mid-Summer 2026)
New Tradition Homes is a locally owned Vancouver builder that's been operating since 1987. They've announced plans to build in Harmony Heights, with sales expected to begin mid-summer 2026. As of March 2026, floor plans and pricing for their Harmony Heights section have not been publicly released.
New Tradition is worth watching because they bring a different profile than either Holt or David Weekley. They're local (not national like David Weekley, not regional like Holt), they offer a wider range of customization options, and their price points in other Vancouver-area communities range from the mid $500s to over $1M depending on the community and series. How their Harmony Heights offering compares to Holt and David Weekley will depend entirely on what plans and price points they bring to this community.
We'll update this section when New Tradition releases their Harmony Heights details. If you want to be notified when that happens, a free strategy call is a good place to start.
What to Watch Out For
This is the section that matters. Everything above, the builders' websites can tell you. What follows is what they won't.
Three builders means three different contracts, three different upgrade pricing structures, and three different sets of fine print. That's the core challenge at Harmony Heights. A buyer who visits all three model homes in one afternoon is going to hear three sales pitches, see three sets of marketing materials, and be presented with three different ways to spend their money. Without someone helping you compare apples to apples — what's included in base, what the upgrade markups look like, how the contracts differ — you're making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life based on whichever sales rep made the best impression. The buyers who compare all three with someone in their corner are the ones who don't overpay.
The "starting from" prices tell you less than you think. Holt starts in the mid $500s. David Weekley's Grove Series starts at $540K. The Forest Series starts at $585K. None of those numbers mean what you think they mean once lot premiums, design selections, and upgrades enter the picture. The actual cost of a finished home at Harmony Heights — the number you'll see on your closing disclosure — is likely to be meaningfully higher than the starting price that drew you in. The gap between the advertised price and the closed price is where the real money lives, and it's where having an advocate who understands the upgrade economics of each builder matters most.
Lot premiums vary by builder and by position within the community. Each builder controls a different section of the community, and each sets their own lot premium structure. Corner lots, lots backing to open space, lots with views — each carries a premium set by the individual builder. You'll see each builder's premium schedule when you visit their respective sales offices. What you won't get is a comparison of how those premiums stack up against each other, or guidance on which lots across all three builders represent the best value relative to their premium. That comparison is one of the most valuable things an independent advocate can do for you at Harmony Heights.
Power lines run along the north side of the community. Major transmission lines cross the northern edge of Harmony Heights. Some buyers won't care. Some will. If proximity to high-voltage power lines is a concern for you — whether for aesthetic reasons, resale considerations, or personal preference — identify which lots are affected before you fall in love with a homesite. This is the kind of detail that's visible when you visit but easy to overlook when you're focused on the model home kitchen.
David Weekley's series structure can be confusing. Three series (Grove, Meadow, Forest) differentiated by lot width, with eight plans spread across them. The naming is clever marketing, but the practical implication is that you need to understand not just which house you want, but which lot category it falls into — and why a larger lot with a smaller house (Forest Series Goose Hollow at $585K) might or might not be a better value than a smaller lot with a larger house (Meadow Series Ardenwald at $616K). The series structure rewards informed buyers and punishes ones who don't understand what they're comparing.
Holt's included features at Harmony Heights are not identical to their other communities. If you've visited Holt's model home at The Glades in Camas and assumed the same finishes and included features carry over to Harmony Heights, check that assumption. Holt has improved their standard inclusions with each successive phase and community, and what's standard at a $700K+ community may not be standard at a mid-$500K entry point. Ask specifically what's included in your base price at Harmony Heights.
The HOA was created by the developer. As with any new construction community, the homeowners association at Harmony Heights was established by the developer, with governing documents, dues, and financial structures that serve the developer's interests during the build-out phase. Once the community is fully built and the developer hands off control to the homeowners, those structures may or may not serve your interests. Review the HOA documents before you sign — not after.
Three mistakes new construction buyers make that cost them $15,000–$30,000
1. They trust the person sitting across the table.
The builder's sales rep is friendly. They're knowledgeable. They walk you through the model home, answer your questions, and make the whole process feel easy. And they work for the builder. Their job — the one they're paid to do — is to protect the builder's margin. Not yours. Every recommendation they make, every upgrade they steer you toward, every timeline they suggest is designed to serve the builder's interests first. That doesn't make them bad people. It makes them the other side of the table. You just didn't realize there were sides.
2. They negotiate the wrong things — or nothing at all.
Most buyers walk in thinking the sticker price is the sticker price. Some try to negotiate the sale price, which is usually the least flexible number in the deal. Meanwhile, the real money is sitting in places most buyers never think to look: lot premiums that vary by tens of thousands of dollars based on placement, upgrades with markups that would make you uncomfortable if you saw the actual cost sheets, closing cost credits the builder will offer but never volunteer, and rate buydowns that can save you more over the life of the loan than any price reduction ever would. The buyers who leave $15,000–$30,000 on the table aren't careless. They just didn't know where to look.
3. They skip representation because "it's just new construction."
It's a new home. What could go wrong? Quite a lot, actually. Builder purchase agreements are written by the builder's attorneys to protect the builder. Warranty limitations are buried in addenda most buyers never read carefully. Inspection timelines are structured so tightly that missing a window means waiving your right to object. And the HOA — if there is one — was created by the developer, with rules and financial structures that serve the developer's interests during the build-out phase, not yours after you move in. A new home doesn't mean a simple transaction. It means a transaction where the complexity is hidden behind fresh paint and a model home that smells like vanilla.
You don't need a traditional agent to buy new construction. But you do need someone who knows where the money is hiding and whose job it is to find it for you — not for the builder. At Harmony Heights, that means three different builders, three different contracts, three different upgrade pricing structures. The buyers who compare all three with someone in their corner are the ones who don't overpay.

At Harmony Heights, you'll meet up to three different sales teams — one for each builder. They'll each be professional. They'll each know their product. And they'll each work for their respective builder. Not for you.
This matters more at a multi-builder community than almost anywhere else. Each sales rep is going to present their builder's homes as the best option. That's their job. Nobody at the Holt model home is going to suggest you might get better value per square foot from David Weekley. Nobody at David Weekley is going to point out that Holt's included features might be a better fit for your budget. And nobody from either builder is going to tell you to wait and see what New Tradition brings to the table before making a decision. Each rep's incentive is to close you — today, on their homes, at their terms.
The question isn't whether any of these sales reps are nice. The question is whether you have someone at the table whose job is to help you compare all three options objectively — someone who can walk through the lot premium schedules, the upgrade pricing, and the contract language from each builder and tell you which combination represents the best value for your specific situation. That person doesn't work for any of the builders. That person works for you.
Independent representation on new construction isn't about doing paperwork. It's about knowing where the leverage points are — lot premiums, upgrade negotiations, closing cost credits, rate buydowns, contract terms — and having someone whose financial incentive is aligned with yours, not the builder's.
Your Options with The Tartan Team
The Tartan Team offers flat-fee buyer representation for new construction. The traditional commission model charges a percentage of the purchase price — which on a $600K home means $15,000–$18,000 in buyer agent commission for a transaction where the builder does most of the heavy lifting. That model doesn't make sense for new construction, and we don't use it. Our flat-fee structure means you get experienced representation — contract review across all three builders, negotiation strategy, upgrade guidance, and closing oversight — at a cost that reflects the actual work involved, not an arbitrary percentage of what you're spending on the house.
At Harmony Heights, independent representation is especially valuable because the multi-builder format creates comparison opportunities that most buyers don't have the expertise to evaluate on their own. Three builders, three contracts, three upgrade structures — and one person whose job is to make sure you're getting the best deal across all of them.
