Lacamas Hills sits on the north shore of Lacamas Lake in Camas, WA — a hillside community surrounded by 17 acres of greenbelt and open space, with many homesites offering lake and territorial views. The builder is Toll Brothers, the nation's largest luxury home builder, and they built two collections here: single-level ramblers for buyers who want everything on one floor, and larger two- to three-story homes for families who need the space. As of October 30, 2026 Toll lists Lacamas Hills as sold out. The last new home, a single-level Powell Collection Wenatchee, was listed at $799,000 and is now pending.
If you've driven past the community and want to live here, the path now is a resale, and this page covers what to know about the homes Toll built before you tour one.

What makes Lacamas Hills worth considering
Start with the location. Lacamas Lake Park is directly across the street — not a short drive away, not "nearby," but across the street. That's 12-plus miles of hiking and biking trails, waterfalls, rock formations, camas lilies blooming in the spring, and a boat launch that turns the lake into a hub for kayaking, paddle-boarding, and swimming in the summer. The community itself has a park with a viewpoint and walking paths that connect into the regional trail system. For buyers who want outdoor access as a daily reality rather than a weekend drive, this is one of the strongest locations in Clark County.
The school district is a meaningful differentiator. Camas School District consistently ranks among the top districts in Washington state. Lacamas Lake Elementary, Liberty Middle, and Camas High School are all within a five-minute drive. For families making a decision that's partly about schools, this is a simpler equation than communities that fall in the Evergreen district and require boundary verification.
Downtown Camas is less than ten minutes away — local restaurants, boutique shopping, and the small-town character that draws people to this side of Clark County in the first place. You're also a short drive from the commercial corridor along SE 192nd Avenue (Costco, grocery stores, major retail) and within reasonable commuting distance of Portland and PDX airport via SR-14 and I-205.
Washington state's lack of income tax is another factor that relocating buyers — especially those coming from Oregon or California — should understand. You're living on the Washington side with no state income tax, and Portland's shopping and amenities are twenty minutes away.
The North Shore: what's coming
This is worth understanding before you buy, because it will shape the neighborhood around Lacamas Hills for the next decade and beyond.
Lacamas Hills sits within the broader North Shore subarea of Camas — approximately 990 acres that the city has been planning for substantial development. The North Shore subarea plan, adopted in 2022 with design standards finalized in 2023, envisions nearly 3,000 residential units, around 8,000 new residents, and approximately 1,400 new jobs across six distinct zones.
The most concrete development so far: SunCal, a California-based real estate developer, has proposed a master-planned community on about 300 acres of former dairy farm land just north of Lacamas Lake. The proposal, which went before the Camas City Council in late 2025, includes a town center with a potential Fred Meyer as anchor tenant, a mix of housing types from single-family to townhomes and apartments, a central plaza, and an extension of North Shore Boulevard connecting through the site. The build-out is planned over 15 years. Approval steps move on the city's schedule, so check the City of Camas for the project's current status before you buy.
For Lacamas Hills buyers, this is mostly opportunity. A town center with grocery, retail, and dining within walking or short driving distance would be a significant amenity upgrade. The city has also purchased 165 acres of lakeside land — the Legacy Lands — that will be permanently preserved as open space, trails, and parks. The long-term vision for this area is walkable, mixed-use, and well-connected to the natural environment.
That said, 15 years of development means 15 years of construction activity in the surrounding area. The neighborhood will look and feel different five years from now than it does today. Traffic patterns will change. Views may change. For some buyers, that trajectory is exactly what makes this a compelling long-term investment. For others, it's worth knowing before you commit.
Floor plans and pricing overview
Toll Brothers built two collections at Lacamas Hills: single-level ramblers and larger multi-story homes. As of October 30, 2026 both are sold out. The plan details below are useful for understanding what was built in the community, which is also what you'll be comparing against on resale.
Powell Collection (single-level living)
The Powell Collection is designed for buyers who want everything on one floor — empty nesters, aging-in-place buyers, or anyone who simply prefers single-story living. These are ramblers, some with included daylight walkout basements that add flexible lower-level space without compromising the main-level-living design.
Wenatchee — 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,937+ sq ft, 2-car garage. First-floor primary bedroom with covered patio. Offered in farmhouse, contemporary, and prairie elevations. The last new home in the community was a Wenatchee Contemporary, listed at $799,000.
Merwin — 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,813+ sq ft, 2-car garage. First-floor primary bedroom. The Cushman with Basement, another Powell Collection design, showed what these single-level plans look like with a finished daylight walkout.
The final quick move-in, a Wenatchee Contemporary on Home Site 152 at 5199 N Benton Dr, was listed at $799,000 after an October price cut and shows as pending (October 30, 2026).
Huron Collection (two- to three-story homes, no longer listed)
The Huron Collection was built for buyers who needed scale, and Toll no longer lists it as of October 2026. These are larger homes with dramatic two-story foyers, versatile floor plans, and the kind of space that accommodates multi-generational living, home offices, and flexible rooms that can serve different purposes as your life changes.
Cultus — 4–5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 3,226+ sq ft, 2–3 car garage. Versatile living options include first-floor bedrooms, lofts, and flex spaces. The Quinault with Basement, a three-story contemporary design, showed how the Huron Collection plans handle vertical space.
Cultus with Basement — 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 4,248+ sq ft, 2-car garage. Daylight basement adds a full additional level of living space — bedrooms, a recreation room, and flexible areas that work for a multi-gen suite, home theater, or guest quarters.
If you want this size of home at Lacamas Hills, the path now is a resale. These plans give you a baseline for comparing them.
What base price includes vs. what it doesn't
On a to-be-built Toll home, the advertised price is the base home on a standard homesite, before lot premiums and before the Design Studio. On a Lacamas Hills resale, the lot premium and Design Studio selections the first owner paid for are rolled into the price, so we pull the original contract figures where we can and compare them with recent resales in the community.
Toll Brothers' Design Studio experience is one of the things that distinguishes them from other production builders. You'll work with a professional Design Consultant at their Portland studio to select finishes, fixtures, and upgrades across virtually every surface and system in the home. The studio is impressive. The selections are extensive. The process is collaborative and professional.
It's also an environment specifically designed to present options and encourage upgrades. The Design Consultant's job is to help you build the home you want — and the home you want, once you're sitting in a studio surrounded by beautiful options, tends to cost more than the home you budgeted for. This isn't a criticism of Toll Brothers. It's how the model works. Setting a selections budget before the appointment, and knowing which upgrades hold value at resale, keeps the final number close to the one you planned.
Structural upgrades — adding a bedroom, extending a garage, converting a flex space — are handled separately at the sales office before the Design Studio process begins. These add to the base price as well.

What to watch out for
This is the section that matters. Everything above, the builder's website can tell you. What follows is what they won't.
Lot premiums are significant and vary widely. The base prices you see advertised assume a standard homesite. But at Lacamas Hills, where many lots back to greenbelt, offer lake views, or sit on cul-de-sacs, the lot premium can add substantially to your purchase price. A view lot or a greenbelt-backing lot commands a meaningful premium over an interior lot facing another home. You'll see these numbers when you visit, but understanding which lot represents the best value for your priorities — views, privacy, orientation, proximity to the trail system — is a different conversation than the sales team is incentivized to have with you. On a resale, the lot is set, so the question becomes whether the premium built into the price is fair for its position, and we compare it against recent resales in the community.
The Design Studio is engineered to get you to spend more than you planned. Toll Brothers' Design Studio is a beautiful experience. It's also an upsell environment engineered to get you to spend more than you planned. Knowing what's worth the upgrade and what's pure margin is worth a conversation before you sit down with the Design Consultant. Buyers at this price point are accustomed to quality finishes. The question isn't whether to upgrade — it's knowing which upgrades deliver real value in your daily life and at resale, and which ones carry markups that wouldn't survive scrutiny if you saw what they actually cost the builder. On a finished quick move-in, those choices are already in the price, so ask for the options list and weigh it against what the same finishes would cost you after closing.
A resale here is a different negotiation. As of October 30, 2026, Toll lists Lacamas Hills as sold out. With a finished home, there's no lot to choose and no Design Studio appointment, so we judge it room by room and finish by finish, and check how much of the builder's warranty is left and how it transfers to you.
The HOA after the last sale. Once a community sells out, the builder typically hands control of the homeowners association to the residents. We find out where that transition stands, request the current HOA budget and reserve study, and check whether any common-area work is still on the builder's list, all in writing before you commit.
The purchase agreement is a Toll Brothers contract. Toll Brothers is a publicly traded Fortune 500 company with an in-house legal team, an in-house mortgage company, and an in-house title company. Their purchase agreement reflects that infrastructure. It's thorough, it's detailed, and it's written to protect Toll Brothers. Warranty provisions, inspection timelines, change order policies, financing contingencies, and delay provisions are all structured with the builder's interests in mind. That's not unusual — every builder's contract is written by the builder's attorneys. But the sophistication of the contract matches the sophistication of the company, and having someone review it whose job is to protect your interests is not optional at this price point.
The North Shore development will change the surroundings. As outlined above, the area around Lacamas Hills is poised for significant development over the next 15 years. The city's preserved Legacy Lands protect the lakefront views and access. But the land to the north and east is zoned for thousands of additional homes, commercial development, and a town center. If the views, the quiet, or the sense of being at the edge of nature are part of what draws you to Lacamas Hills, understand that the area's character will evolve.
Why bring your own representation
The sales office at Lacamas Hills is staffed by people who work for Toll Brothers. That isn't a criticism — it's the job. But it means the lot premium, the Design Studio numbers, the incentives, and the contract all deserve a second set of eyes whose only obligation is to you. That's what we do, and everything we find goes in writing before you sign — here's how we work.

The builder's sales rep works for the builder
Toll Brothers' sales team at Lacamas Hills is experienced and professional. They know the product, they know the community, and they'll make the buying process feel smooth and well-managed. That's the Toll Brothers brand — a polished experience from model home walkthrough to Design Studio appointment to closing day. None of that changes who they work for.
The sales rep's job is to sell homes for Toll Brothers at the best possible terms for Toll Brothers. They're not going to advise you that a different lot might save you tens of thousands in premiums for a minimal difference in experience. They're not going to walk you through the Design Studio and flag which upgrades carry margins that might surprise you. They're not going to suggest you push back on the builder's preferred closing timeline or financing structure — especially when Toll Brothers has its own mortgage and title companies that keep the transaction in-house. That's not a criticism. It's the business model. They represent the builder.
On a new construction purchase at this price point, the dynamic deserves attention. Toll Brothers has an in-house legal team, an in-house mortgage company, an in-house title company, and a professional Design Studio with trained consultants. The entire transaction is designed to flow through Toll Brothers' ecosystem. That ecosystem is efficient and well-run. It's also built to serve the builder's interests at every step. The question isn't whether the experience is good. The question is whether you have someone at the table whose only job is to protect your money.
Independent representation on new construction isn't about doing paperwork. It's about knowing where the leverage points are — lot premiums, Design Studio selections, closing cost structures, rate buydowns, contract terms — and having someone whose financial incentive is aligned with yours, not the builder's.
