Westhaven is a 12-lot cul-de-sac of custom homes on NE 25th Avenue, just north of NE 179th Street and about a mile east of I-5. Kingston Homes, a Vancouver custom builder, owns the six lots still available and builds on them from a library of 26 plans, starting from about $1.25 million. The lots run about 10,000 to 13,300 square feet, roomy enough for the sprawling one-level plans Kingston designed these lots around.
It suits buyers who want a custom home on a quarter-acre lot without going rural: the freeway is three minutes away, Salmon Creek's groceries and Legacy Salmon Creek are seven, and the address sits in the Ridgefield School District. The thing that makes it worth a look is the scale. Twelve homes on a private street is about as small as new construction gets in this part of the county, and you pick the plan, the lot and the finishes. One thing to know up front: the mailing address says Ridgefield, but Westhaven is in unincorporated Clark County, inside Vancouver's urban growth area.

The homes
Westhaven is a build-to-order community. You choose one of Kingston's open lots and a plan, adjust the plan with Kingston, and select finishes against allowances. There are no base prices by plan; Kingston quotes each home individually.
Lots available (October 2026), with the lot sizes on Kingston's community map:
- Lot 5, 17700 NE 25th Ct: 11,417 sq ft
- Lot 6, 17703 NE 25th Ct: 11,418 sq ft
- Lot 7, 17707 NE 25th Ct: 10,004 sq ft
- Lot 8, 17711 NE 25th Ct: 11,298 sq ft
- Lot 9, 2503 NE 178th St: 13,298 sq ft, the largest lot in the plat
- Lot 12, 17805 NE 25th Ave: 10,657 sq ft
The county's parcel records show slightly different areas for some lots (lot 8 at about 12,300 sq ft, lot 5 and lot 6 at about 10,500), so we'll get the recorded lot area from Kingston before you compare lots by size.
The plans. Kingston lists 26 plans for Westhaven. The one-level plans are the Rockaway (2,498 sq ft, 3 bed plus office, 2.5 bath), Lincoln (2,650, 4 bed, 2.5 bath), Columbia (2,657, 3 bed, 2.5 bath), Laurelhurst (2,738, 4 bed, 2.5 bath), Chesterton (2,898, 4 bed, 2.5 bath, with a shop), Felicity (2,914, 4 bed, 3 bath, with a guest suite), Cannon (3,022, 4 bed, 3 bath, set up for multi-generational living) and Raven (3,139, 3 bed plus office, 3 bath). Two-level plans run from the 2,900-square-foot Hudson to the 4,248-square-foot Woodstock, and many of them put the primary suite on the main floor. All but two plans have three-car garages: the Walden has two bays, and the Maywood has four plus a shop.
What to expect on price. Kingston's to-be-built listings here have run from $1,550,000 for a one-level home of about 2,440 square feet to $1,700,000 for one of about 2,840. Those listings use photos of earlier Kingston homes, so treat them as a guide to the finish level rather than a quote for a specific lot. Recorded sales of finished homes give another reference point: a 2,844-square-foot one-level home sold for $1,457,250 in May 2025, a 2,758-square-foot one-level home for $1,590,000 in December 2025, and a 2,329-square-foot one-level home with an oversized five-car garage for $1,149,000 in July 2026.
What Kingston includes: its Westhaven feature sheet lists 10-foot main-floor ceilings and 9-foot upper ceilings (per plan), 8-foot doors and oversized windows, slab granite or quartz counters, KitchenAid built-in stainless appliances including the refrigerator, a five-burner gas cooktop, a heat pump for heating and cooling, an 80-gallon heat pump water heater, an energy recovery ventilation system, R-23 wall insulation on 2x6 framing, a mud-set tile primary shower with frameless glass, a gas fireplace, a low-voltage package with network wiring and smart lock and thermostat, full front and back landscaping with sprinklers, and a 6-foot cedar backyard fence. Lighting, cabinets and flooring come with allowances, so the final price follows those choices.
Quick move-ins and incentives: Kingston has no finished Westhaven home listed for sale, and it hasn't published an incentive for this community. On its move-in-ready homes elsewhere, Kingston invites buyers to ask about interest-rate buydowns, so we'd ask whether a buydown applies to a new build here.

Schools
Westhaven is in the Ridgefield School District, based on Clark County's attendance-area maps (August 2026) and property records for every lot in the plat. Affinity's community page and the current Kingston listing name the same schools:
| Level | School | Grades (2026–27) | Drive time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary | South Ridge Elementary | K–5 | 5 minutes |
| Middle | View Ridge Middle School | 6–8 | 11 minutes |
| High | Ridgefield High School | 9–12 | 12 minutes |
Drive times are free-flowing from the community. The district changed its grade structure this school year: in September 2025 its board voted to move to K–5 elementary schools and a 6–8 middle school starting in 2026–27, alongside the opening of a third elementary school, Sunset Ridge Elementary, and said it would redraw attendance boundaries. The county's maps, updated in August 2026, still place Westhaven at South Ridge. One older listing here names Union Ridge Elementary instead, which doesn't match the county records. Tell us which lot you're considering and we'll confirm the assignment with the Ridgefield School District before you write an offer.
Inside the community
- A private street. NE 25th Avenue and NE 25th Court are mapped as private roads, ending in a cul-de-sac, so traffic is limited to the 12 homes and their guests.
- Lot sizes and zoning. The plat is zoned R1-10, the county's single-family zone for lots of about 10,000 square feet.
- The land. County maps show the site as flat (0 to 5 percent slope), outside the FEMA flood area, with moderately well drained silt loam soil. The assessor records no power line, traffic noise or view influence on any Westhaven lot.
- Shared space. An HOA-owned tract of about 13,700 square feet sits at the north end of NE 25th Avenue. There's no clubhouse, pool or trail system.
- HOA and CC&Rs. Listings show dues of $138 a month and recorded covenants. Kingston hasn't published what the dues cover or who manages the association; with a private street, road maintenance and a reserve for it are likely part of the budget, so we'd ask for the CC&Rs, the budget and the reserve figures, along with the rules on fences, RV and boat parking (several plans have a tall third bay), and rentals.
Parks and outdoors nearby
- Kozy Kamp Park: 2 minutes; a county neighborhood park of about 4.6 acres with play equipment, sidewalks and play fields, close enough to walk
- Mount Vista Park: 4 minutes; a neighborhood park of about 4 acres
- Pleasant Valley Park: 7 minutes; a 37-acre community park
- Fairgrounds Park: 7 minutes; a 75-acre community park next to the Clark County Fairgrounds
- Whipple Creek Regional Park: 7 minutes; about 300 forested acres with trails for walking, running and horseback riding
- Klineline Pond and Salmon Creek Park: 10 minutes; swimming, fishing and the Salmon Creek Greenway Trail
- Downtown Ridgefield and the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge: about 15 minutes

What it costs to own
- Jurisdiction: unincorporated Clark County, inside Vancouver's urban growth area. Police service is the Clark County Sheriff's West Precinct and fire is Clark County Fire District 6. The county's long-range plans include this area in a possible future Vancouver annexation, in a 10-to-15-year time frame.
- Utilities: Clark Public Utilities for water and power; Clark Regional Wastewater District for public sewer. Kingston's homes use natural gas for the cooktop and fireplace.
- Property tax: the 2026 levy for this tax code area is about $10.10 per $1,000 of assessed value, roughly $12,600 a year on a $1.25 million assessment or $15,100 on $1.5 million.
- HOA: $138 a month.
- Impact fees: the county's fees for this location are the Ridgefield School District fee ($16,880, changing November 12, 2026), Park District 10 ($3,852) and the Mt. Vista traffic fee ($8,521), about $29,250 in all. We'll find out from Kingston whether its quote includes them. Our custom homes guide compares fees across the county.
What's changing nearby
NE 179th Street is one of the county's main growth corridors, and Westhaven sits right on it. The county began a two-year roundabout project at NE 179th St and NE 29th Ave, about a quarter mile east of the community, in August 2025. A larger rebuild of NE 179th Street between NE 15th and NE 26th Avenues, with a multi-lane roundabout at NE 15th and separated bike and pedestrian paths, is in design through summer 2028, with construction listed for winter 2029. WSDOT plans roundabouts at the I-5 / 179th Street interchange ramps; its project timeline runs 2024 to 2031, with the state's current plan showing bids in 2028.
Housing is coming too. Within about half a mile, the county has approved Four Creeks South (72 homes) and Four Creeks North (39 homes), along with the South Ridge Central Apartments (131 units) and two apartment communities on NE 179th Street. Mill Creek Estates (43 lots) is in review, and Manor Homes' Mill Creek Terrace cottage community is under way about half a mile east. The upside is more shops and services nearby over time; the trade-off is more traffic and construction on NE 179th for several years.
What to check before you buy
- The wooded corner on the map. Kingston's community map shows a large green area at the northwest corner. County records show that land, Tract B, is privately owned and holds a 1946 home, rather than being HOA open space. The plat is also named "Phase 1," and the county's preliminary approval allowed 16 lots where 12 were recorded. Reach out and we'll ask Kingston what the plat allows on Tract B and pull the recorded plat notes, especially if you're looking at lot 1 or lot 12.
- The price for your lot and plan. With no base prices, the number depends on the plan, the lot and the allowances. We'll request a written quote that lists every allowance, what happens if you go over, and whether impact fees and permits are included.
- Lot sizes. Kingston's map and the county's parcel records differ on a few lots. We'll pull the recorded figure for any lot you're comparing.
- The HOA and the private road. Tell us you're interested and we'll get the CC&Rs, the budget and the reserve study before you commit, since the association likely carries the street.
- The schools. County maps say South Ridge Elementary, but the district is redrawing boundaries for its new grade structure. We'll confirm with the district for the specific lot you're considering.
- Roadwork and growth on NE 179th. Expect construction on the corridor into the end of the decade. Drive it at rush hour and on a Cascades Amphitheater event night (the amphitheater is 7 minutes away) to see how it feels.
- Timeline. A custom build takes longer than buying a finished home. We'll get Kingston's current build schedule, and your lender can walk you through how rate locks work over that period.
- Inspections. A licensed inspector at key stages of construction and again before the warranty's first year ends keeps fixes on the builder.
How we help here
At Westhaven we'd start with the lot. We'd pull the recorded plat and its notes so you know what's planned for Tract B and the HOA tract, confirm the recorded size and orientation of each open lot, and walk them with you to see how a one-level plan would sit on each. Then we'd help you turn a plan into a quote you can compare: every allowance in writing, impact fees and permits accounted for, and the recorded sales on the street as a check on where the finished home will land. We'd get the CC&Rs, the HOA budget and the road reserve before you commit, and coordinate licensed inspections at framing, before drywall and before the first-year warranty walk-through. Our construction background helps us read a custom-build contract and spot what to look at while the house is going up.
Before you commit to anything, you'll have a written Engagement Proposal with the exact scope and fee.
