Its close proximity to major employment centers, schools, and the expanding Kelso/Longview commercial district makes this location ideal for workforce housing, lifestyle-oriented communities, or modern multifamily and middle-housing solutions. As one of the region’s last significant riverfront development opportunities, this parcel combines natural beauty, proven demand, and zoning versatility.
