Parkside Airpark · Battle Ground, Washington
This 2.7+ acre airpark property includes a 3,000 ft² home with a deeded runway easement that conveys with the property — a 3,416 ft² hangar and a paved 2,100 ft. runway alongside a parallel turf strip, at SW Washington's premier airpark.
Offered at $1,250,000
The Story
Walk out the front door. Open the hangar. Taxi to the runway. Lift off over the Cascade volcanoes before the coffee cools.
No waitlisted T-hangar across town — the airplane sleeps steps from where you do. And the runway is yours by a deeded, recorded easement that conveys with the property: the strongest form of airpark access there is. It survives ownership changes and association politics. You're not renting a privilege. You own it.
Properties at Parkside rarely surface. When one does, the buyer is almost never local — it's a pilot somewhere in the country who has waited years for exactly this.
Why This One Is Different
A deeded, recorded runway easement conveys with the property — the gold standard. Unlike a revocable license or an informal handshake, it survives ownership changes and HOA politics. Sophisticated buyers know the difference — and it's exactly what sets this property apart.
HOA dues run $1,500 a year — $1,000 of it the general fund — less than a few months of T-hangar rent at a Portland-metro public airport, which typically runs $4,000–$8,000+ annually and is often waitlisted. Here, the hangar is part of the home.
Fresh water from the community well is included in the dues — a quality-of-life detail that signals a well-run, low-friction community.
The biggest hidden fear of any airpark buyer is a dysfunctional HOA controlling their runway. Parkside is an incorporated association with a stable history and a shared, well-maintained private airfield — documentation shared with serious buyers.
Washington has only about fifty residential airparks statewide, and lots at Parkside almost never come up. There isn't a next one to wait for.
The 2.71-acre lot offers real optionality — potential for a larger hangar, subject to CC&Rs and Clark County zoning. We'll walk serious buyers through exactly what's permitted.
Do the Math
For roughly what a two-bedroom condo costs in the Bay Area, you get 2.71 acres, a 3,416 ft² hangar with a 40′ × 10′ high-fold door, a 3,000 ft² home (plus a 1,064 ft² shop with 336 ft² of covered parking), and a deeded runway — thirty minutes from Portland. Add the details Californians notice fast: Washington has no state income tax, and neighboring Oregon has no sales tax (both factual features, not tax advice).
Remote work has untethered a generation of pilot-engineers from any one zip code. This is the trade many of them have been waiting to make.

The Particulars
Airpark lots trade rarely, and a deeded, recorded easement is the strongest form of access there is — genuine scarcity that supports the asking price for the right national buyer.

Beyond the Runway
The runway is the reason you come — but there's a real town around it. A few things pilots relocating from out of state like to know.
In 1855, a tense standoff near today's downtown ended in negotiation rather than gunfire — yet the name stuck. The town still honors both sides, with schools named for Chief Umtuch and Captain Strong.
Lewisville Regional Park — Clark County's oldest, 159 riverside acres on the East Fork Lewis River — sits literally across the highway. And Battle Ground Lake State Park adds a spring-fed lake, camping, kayak & paddleboard rentals, and horse trails in the Cascade foothills.
About 25 miles to Portland and 11 to Vancouver, WA — an easy run to the city, the airport, or the mountains, then home to quiet acreage.
The population roughly doubled in the 2000s and sits around 23,500 today, with a median age of 36 — young and family-oriented.
Battle Ground Public Schools spans 15 schools across the district.
Battle Ground's Main Street has grown into a full-service town center — everyday shopping, dining, and errands minutes away, with the Battle Ground Station food-cart pod and a handful of local spots downtown. Fast-growing and practical: you won't drive far for what you need.
Battle Ground is home to one of the largest Old Apostolic Lutheran communities in the United States — a distinctive thread in the town's character.
