Walker Field is a single-family community from New Tradition Homes on the northwest edge of Battle Ground, on NW 17th Place, NW 18th Avenue, NW 21st Way and the new Phase 2 streets off NW 17th Avenue and NW 20th Street. It's laid out for 81 homes on two recorded plats, and New Tradition offers nine plans here, from a 1,389-square-foot single-level home to a 2,604-square-foot two-story, with base prices from $529,900 to $690,900. Every plan has at least a two-car garage, and the homes are certified to ENERGY STAR NextGen.
What makes it worth a look is the mix of plans for the location. Three of the nine are single-level, which is uncommon at this price in north Clark County, and the community sits inside the City of Battle Ground with Daybreak Primary and Daybreak Middle a minute away and groceries about four minutes away. It suits families who want to be near school, downsizers looking for one-story living, and buyers moving up from a townhome. Phase 2 opened in 2026, so buyers can choose a move-in-ready home now or pick a lot and plan and use New Tradition's 5% pre-sale incentive.

New Tradition publishes a third-party HERS energy score for each plan; at Walker Field they run from 43 to 47, where a lower score means a more efficient home.
What's included: the current listings describe quartz counters, luxury vinyl plank on the main floor, a covered patio, a heat pump, front and back landscaping with sprinklers, and six-foot cedar fencing. Several listed homes mention upgrades, and New Tradition doesn't publish a separate standard-features list for Walker Field, so tell us the plan you like and we'll get the base specification and Design Studio price list in writing.

Two details we'd confirm for you. The MLS shows 2025 NW 18th Ave at $629,900 after a reduction, below the builder's page, and it was built in 2023 as the model. The MLS also shows a seventh home, 2009 NW 17th Pl (four bedrooms, 2,235 sq ft, $649,900), that isn't on New Tradition's list. We'd confirm the current price and status of any home before an offer.
Current incentives: for a pre-sale home, where you choose the lot and plan before construction, New Tradition will contribute 5% of the base price toward financing, upgrades or closing costs when you finance with one of its Trusted Lenders, through December 15, 2026. The offer can end sooner and doesn't combine with other offers; New Tradition's example is $35,000 on a $700,000 base price. Its Vancouver-area lending partners include Summit Mortgage and CMG Home Loans. Move-in-ready homes carry their own incentives instead, from $26,000 to $33,000, based on the list price and paid in full with a Trusted Lender. A credit used as a rate buy-down and the same credit used toward closing costs work out differently depending on how long you keep the loan, so we'll help you set both against a quote from an outside lender.

New Tradition Homes was founded by the Helmes family in 1987 and is based in Vancouver, with thousands of homes built across Washington. Every home is ENERGY STAR certified with a third-party HERS score, and New Tradition was among the first builders certified to ENERGY STAR NextGen, which adds a heat-pump water heater and wiring for an EV charger. Homes come with a 2-year workmanship warranty and a 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty covering structural defects for up to 10 years, and finishes are chosen in its in-house Design Studio. Next door, New Tradition builds townhomes at Amira's Song; its other Clark County communities include Harmony View and Si Ellen Farms in Vancouver and Paradise Pointe in Ridgefield.
The homes are listed by New Tradition Realty, the builder's own brokerage, so the person at the sales office represents New Tradition. You're welcome to bring your own representation, and it helps to do that from your first visit.
Schools
Walker Field is in Battle Ground Public Schools. Clark County's parcel records put every lot in both phases in these attendance areas, and the current listings agree:
| Level | School | Grades | Drive time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary | Daybreak Primary | Pre-K–4 | 1 minute |
| Middle | Daybreak Middle | 5–8 | 1 minute (same campus) |
| High | Battle Ground High | 9–12 | 6 minutes |
Drive times are free-flowing from the community. Daybreak Primary and Daybreak Middle share a campus at 1900 NW 20th Ave, about a third of a mile away, so many kids here can walk. We didn't find a boundary change for 2026–27 or a new school planned nearby. Let us know the address you're considering and we'll confirm the assignment with the district's Transportation and Boundaries office (360-885-6577).
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 the schools and your property tax.
Inside the community
New Tradition describes homesites surrounded by mature trees and protected greenspace, with greenbelt views from some lots. On the Phase 1 plat, a tract of about 10.6 acres sits along the community's north and west side, and a smaller tract of just under an acre is owned by the Walker Field HOA. We'll find out which lots back onto the greenbelt; those tend to be the most private. We found no clubhouse, pool or playground.
HOA dues are $56 a month on the current listings, and New Tradition's payment calculator uses about $60. The listings note that covenants apply, but the CC&Rs, the HOA budget and the management company aren't published online. We'd get them before you commit, including the rules on fences, parking, RVs and rentals. Walker Field shares its entry streets with the Amira's Song townhomes, which have their own association.

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: public water in the Battle Ground water district and public sewer; Clark Public Utilities for power. The homes are all-electric with heat pumps.
- Property tax: the 2026 levy for this tax code area is about $6.38 per $1,000 of assessed value, roughly $3,380 a year on a $529,900 home. The tax shown on new listings reflects the lot before the home was assessed, so budget for the full amount. If the school levy passes in November, add about $1.76 per $1,000 starting in 2027.
- HOA: $56 a month per the listings.
- Impact fees: paid by the builder and built into the price. Battle Ground's 2026 schedule includes $10,760 for schools, $4,538 for parks, $3,943 for traffic, $21,923 for water and sewer connections and $1,019 for fire. Our custom homes guide compares fees across the county.
What's changing nearby
Most of the change is inside Walker Field and next door. Phase 2, 35 lots, was recorded in March 2026, and county records show 34 of those lots still held by New Tradition or the developer, so expect homes going up on NW 17th Ave, NW 20th St and NW 21st Way for a while. Amira's Song recorded its own 33-lot second phase the same month. The city's 2026 street preservation program includes work on portions of NW and SW 20th Ave, and a compact roundabout at NW 20th Ave and NW 9th St is at the concept stage. Just west and north of the community, the county's maps show land zoned for mixed use inside Battle Ground's growth area, which could see development over time.
What to check before you buy
- Price history. Some homes have been listed for several months with reductions; 1911 NW 21st Cir has been on the market 166 days and is $20,000 below its first price, and the former model has been listed 190 days. That gives buyers room to talk about price, closing costs or upgrades, and we'd look at each home's history before an offer.
- Size, bedrooms and garage. 1705 NW 21st Way is listed with four bedrooms and a three-car garage, while the Pacific plan shows three bedrooms and two cars, and the former model's size differs slightly from the Rialto plan. Tell us the home you like and we'll confirm them in writing.
- The former model. 2025 NW 18th Ave was built in 2023 and used as the sales model. We'll find out when the warranty period starts, what was changed when the office became a garage again, and which price is current.
- Lot size. Most lots are about 3,900 square feet. If yard space matters, we'll compare the larger corner and edge lots on the site plan with you.
- The greenbelt edge. County maps show possible wetlands and constrained land along the north edge. That's part of what keeps it open; we'll ask about drainage for lots on that side, and a visit after a rain helps too.
- Construction around you. With about three dozen Phase 2 lots still to build, we'll find out which nearby lots are scheduled next so you can pick a home away from the active streets if quiet matters to you.
- School traffic. Daybreak is a short walk, which is a plus for families. Drive NW 20th Ave at morning drop-off to see how it feels.
- The HOA documents. Reach out and we'll get the CC&Rs, budget and management contact before you commit.
- The incentive math. We'll set the 5% pre-sale offer or a move-in home's credit beside a fixed-rate quote from an outside lender.
- Inspections. We'll help you line up a licensed inspector at pre-drywall on a pre-sale home, before closing, and again before the 2-year workmanship warranty ends, which keeps any fixes on the builder.
How we help here
At Walker Field the first decision is a move-in home or a pre-sale build. We line up the six listed homes by price history, days on market and incentive, and price a pre-sale on the lot you like with the 5% credit, so you can see which comes out ahead. We confirm the plan, size, bedrooms and garage for the specific home in writing, settle the current price on the former model, and walk the site plan with you to see which lots back onto the greenbelt and which streets will see construction next. We get the CC&Rs and HOA budget in front of you, confirm the schools for the address with Battle Ground Public Schools, and run New Tradition's incentive as a rate buy-down and as a closing-cost credit next to an outside lender's quote. During the build we coordinate the licensed inspections, and our construction background helps us look closely at a home while the walls are still open.
Before you commit to anything, you'll have a written Engagement Proposal with the exact scope and fee.
