Schnell Farms is Pacific Lifestyle Homes' community on the north side of NE 18th Street, just east of NE 192nd Avenue in East Vancouver, a mile from the Camas city line. The plat was recorded in February 2026 with 77 homesites and about 19 acres of HOA-owned open space, and the first homes have closed. Pacific Lifestyle sells it the way it sells most of its communities: you choose a homesite, choose one of 24 plans that fits it, then make your selections in the builder's Design Studio.
Listed homes run from $707,000 for a single-level Deschutes to just over $1.1 million for the larger plans. It suits buyers who want a new home with room to configure it, from single-level plans to multi-generational suites, close to the SE 192nd Avenue shopping corridor and Lacamas Lake. What makes it worth a look is the combination: a deep plan library, many homesites backing to protected green space, and elementary and middle schools about five minutes away.

The homes
Pacific Lifestyle brings its whole Southwest Washington plan library here, and you can put most plans on most homesites as long as the plan fits the lot. That matters more than usual at Schnell Farms, because the price of each home is set by the homesite, the plan, the elevation and the structural options together. Pacific Lifestyle doesn't publish a base price for each plan; it publishes a price for each specific home.
The plans (October 2026):
| Plan | Bed / bath | Sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| Deschutes (single level) | 3 / 2 | 1,912 |

| Alpine | 4–7 / 3.5–5 | 3,691 |
| Shasta XXL | 4–5 / 3.5–4 | 3,905 |
A few plans stand out for how flexible they are. The Bridger, the model, offers a multi-generational suite that turns the main-floor den, bedroom and bath into a private space with its own porch entrance, a sitting room with a kitchenette and a full bath, bringing the home to 3,238 square feet; upstairs, the primary suite has its own sitting room. The Magnolia puts the primary suite on the main floor, has its own multi-gen option and an upstairs bonus room, and on some homesites can add garage bays or a shop. The Deschutes is the single-level entry point, with a 2-car garage and several primary-bath layouts.
What the price includes: Pacific Lifestyle's price sheet explains the two kinds of pricing. A to-be-built home is "Design Studio Ready": its price includes the structural options already chosen for that homesite, and the finishes you pick at the Design Studio are added on top. A quick move-in home's price already includes both its structural options and its Design Studio selections. The Madison's options list gives a sense of what counts as structural: a wall and door at the den, an island extension, a double oven, a fireplace, extra great-room windows and a mud-set shower in the primary bath.

Pacific Lifestyle's own video of the community:
The builder
Pacific Lifestyle Homes was founded in Vancouver in 1996, starting with 20 homesites, and has built nearly 6,000 homes in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Its Southwest Washington office is on NE 99th Street in Vancouver, it lists eight communities in the region, and buyers make their selections at the company's in-house Design Studio, with a virtual version online for planning ahead. In Clark County it's also selling Salmon Creek Ridge in Vancouver, Paradise Pointe in Ridgefield, The Nines at Camas Meadows and the last homesite at The Landing at Green Mountain, which is sold from this same office. Pacific Lifestyle doesn't publish its warranty terms online, so we'll request the warranty document with the purchase agreement and go through the coverage periods and claim process with you before you sign.

Book a Strategy Call →Schools
Schnell Farms is in Evergreen Public Schools. The county's parcel records assign every lot in the plat to the same three schools, and Pacific Lifestyle lists the same ones:
- Harmony Elementary (K–5), 17404 NE 18th St: 1.4 miles, about 4 minutes
- Pacific Middle School (6–8), 2017 NE 172nd Ave: 1.7 miles, about 5 minutes
- Union High School (9–12), 6201 NW Friberg-Strunk St, Camas: 2.1 miles, about 9 minutes
Union High has a Camas mailing address but is an Evergreen school. Evergreen doesn't offer a public address lookup; its Boundary Department answers assignment questions, and we found no published boundary changes for 2026–27 affecting these schools and no new schools announced nearby. Share the homesite you're considering and we'll confirm the assignment with the district (we'll confirm by address). Drive times are free-flow estimates.
Inside the community
About half the plat is open space. Three HOA-owned tracts total roughly 19 acres by county parcel maps, and the county's environmental maps show a fish-bearing stream and its riparian habitat buffer running through them, along with mapped wetland soils and slopes. That's why Pacific Lifestyle says many homesites back to green space: those tracts are protected habitat rather than future building lots.
The Schnell Farms Homeowners Association owns the tracts. Current listings show dues of $93 a month, with front-yard landscaping included, and list the commons as the shared amenity. We didn't find a published park, playground or trail plan for the community, and the CC&Rs aren't posted online, so rules on fences, RVs, sheds and rentals aren't public yet. Ask us and we'll request the CC&Rs, the HOA budget and the management contact before you write an offer.
Parks and outdoors nearby

- Heritage Park at Lacamas Lake (5 miles, 12 minutes): the lake's main day-use park, near the trail's south end.
- Lacamas Regional Park (6.6 miles, 17 minutes): a 312-acre county park with miles of trails, a loop around Round Lake and the lower falls.

What it costs to own
- Jurisdiction: the mailing address says Vancouver, but Schnell Farms is in unincorporated Clark County, inside the Vancouver urban growth area and zoned R1-20 by the county. Police service is the Clark County Sheriff, and fire service is Clark County Fire District 5, served by Vancouver Fire.
- Utilities: City of Vancouver water and sewer; power from Clark Public Utilities. One listing shows a heat pump with forced air and a gas hookup.
- Property tax: the 2026 levy for this tax code area is about $10.04 per $1,000 of assessed value, roughly $7,100 a year on a $707,000 assessment and $8,500 on $850,000. Listings show a $0 tax placeholder because the lots were taxed as land; budget for the full amount once the home is assessed.
- HOA: $93 a month per current listings, with front-yard landscaping included.
- Impact fees: paid by the builder at permit and built into the price: the county's school fee for Evergreen, park and traffic fees. Our custom homes guide compares fees across the county.
What's changing nearby
The biggest change is Schnell Farms itself. About 60 of the 76 home lots are still owned by Pacific Lifestyle, so construction will continue around the finished homes for some time. Nearby, the county approved Glowstone Ridge, 25 single-family lots on NE 187th Avenue, in 2026, and a 9-lot short plat called Lacamas Grove on NE 25th Street is in early review. Garden Grove, a 19-lot mix of homes and townhomes on NE Garden Drive, has its final plat approval. At Harmony Sports Complex, the county's parking and safety project adds about 200 paved stalls and a new entrance at NE 192nd Avenue and NE 13th Street.
What to check before you buy
- Whether your plan fits your homesite. Lots here are mostly 5,000 to 6,600 square feet, and the county's R1-20 zoning caps lot coverage at 50%. Pacific Lifestyle has applied for lot-coverage variances on two lots. Tell us the plan and homesite you want and we'll check the coverage and setbacks with the builder before you reserve.
- Price changes on to-be-built homes. Some listings have gone up since they were posted, including one from $797,000 to $810,000 and another from $952,000 to $963,000. We'll pull the price history on the homes you like and compare them with recent sales of similar Pacific Lifestyle plans nearby.
- What the Design Studio adds. On a to-be-built home, the listed price covers the structural options, and your finishes come on top. We'll get an itemized estimate before your studio appointment so you know where the total is heading.
- Life next to open space. Homesites backing the HOA tracts gain privacy and views, and stream buffers can limit what goes in near the back line. We'll pull the recorded plat to show where the buffers sit on your lot.
- Harmony Sports Complex. The lighted fields bring evening and weekend traffic along NE 192nd Avenue. We're glad to walk your homesite with you on a Saturday morning so you can see it at its busiest; homesites deeper in the plat sit farther from the fields.
- Construction around you. With most lots still to build, crews and trucks will be in the neighborhood for a while. We'll ask the sales office what's scheduled near your homesite.
- The HOA documents and warranty. Reach out and we'll request the CC&Rs, the HOA budget and the warranty document before you commit.
- Inspections. New homes still have defects. We'll help you line up a licensed inspector at the pre-drywall stage, before closing and again before the first-year warranty ends, which keeps fixes on the builder.
How we help here
At Schnell Farms we start by narrowing the choices: with 24 plans and a dozen open homesites, we match the plan you want to the lots it fits, check the coverage limit and stream buffers on each, and compare the homesite prices side by side. We pull the price history on the homes you like and set them against recent sales of similar Pacific Lifestyle plans. Before your Design Studio appointment we help you build a budget for selections, and we price the fall incentive both ways, as a rate buydown with the preferred lender and as closing-cost help, against an outside lender's quote. We get the HOA documents and warranty terms in front of you early and coordinate licensed inspections at pre-drywall, before closing and before the one-year walk-through. Our construction background helps us know what to look at in a new 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.
