Parkside Airpark · Battle Ground, Washington
A 2.71-acre hangar home with a deeded, recorded runway easement — one of roughly fifty residential airparks in the state, and a lot that almost never comes up for sale.
Offered at $1,150,000 – $1,250,000
The Story
Walk out the back door. Open the hangar. Taxi to the runway. Lift off over the Cascade volcanoes before the coffee cools.
This is the rare property where the airplane lives thirty feet from the kitchen — not in a waitlisted T-hangar across town, but steps from where you sleep. The runway is yours to use 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 are not renting a privilege. You own it.
Lots 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 why this property stands above its appraisal.
HOA dues run $1,500 a year. That's less than a few months of T-hangar rent at Portland-metro public airports — typically $4,000–$8,000+ annually, and often waitlisted. Here, the hangar is part of 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 strip — documentation available in the buyer's packet.
Washington has only around fifty residential airparks statewide, and lots at Parkside almost never come up. This is not a property you wait for the next one of.
The 2.71-acre lot offers real optionality — potential for a larger hangar, a shop, or a guest house, subject to CC&Rs and Clark County zoning. We'll document exactly what's permitted in the buyer's packet.
Do the Math
For roughly what a two-bedroom condo costs in the Bay Area, you get 2.71 acres, a hangar, and a deeded runway about thirty minutes from Portland. Add a detail Californians notice quickly: Washington has no state income tax (stated as a factual feature, 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
The appraisal reflects a thin local comp set — airpark lots trade rarely. The deeded easement and genuine scarcity support pricing above appraisal for the right national buyer.
Serious Inquiries
Qualified buyers receive a full, professional packet — recorded easement, runway and hangar specifications, HOA financials and CC&Rs, well/water details, and the lot survey — typically the same day.
