If you are looking for custom new construction homes in Camas, WA, in 2026, the list is short. Real custom options are concentrated in a few neighborhoods, and most serious builds start around $1.2 million.

This article covers the main custom communities in Camas, along with builders, lot types, view potential, location, and budget ranges.

What does custom new construction in Camas look like right now

Camas is one of the strongest places in Clark County for a long-term custom home. It has established neighborhoods, hillside settings, access to Vancouver, and real view potential.

But custom inventory is limited. If you want to build here, you need to know the active communities first.

Most true custom new construction in Camas in 2026 lands around $1.4 million to $1.7 million and up.

The four main communities are:

• Shawood at The Glades on Green Mountain
  The most engineered and structured option.
• Firestone Ridge
  Best for flexibility and convenience.
• McIntosh Point
  Best for Prune Hill location and Mount Hood views.
• Sunview Estates
  Best for modern design and a gated setting.

Who this market is best for

This market fits buyers who want:

• A long-term home
• Better finishes
• More control over the layout
• Views
• Custom exterior design

It is not entry-level new construction. Buyers need a larger budget and patience.

How long a custom build takes

Plan on 12 to 18 months from start to finish.

That depends on:

• The builder
• How custom the plan is
• Lot conditions
• Engineering and approval time

Semi-custom homes usually move faster. Fully custom homes take longer.

Shawood at The Glades on Green Mountain

Shawood is the least custom community on this list, but it is also the most specialized. The homes are precision-engineered and designed in Japan by Sekisui House. They are built for durability, with features tied to earthquake resistance, fire resistance, and less settling.

For buyers who want structure and peace of mind, this is a strong option.

A practical budget is $1.4 million to $1.6 million for a nicely appointed home.

Floor plans and lot types

Buyers choose from three floor plans. You can make structural changes, but the process is more limited than a fully custom build.

The lots are flatter and more uniform, which works well for this system.

Lot position matters:

• North-side lots back to green space.
• South-side lots sit above neighboring homes.

Why Green Mountain stands out

Green Mountain is different from Prune Hill.

• Prune Hill has the stronger prestige name.
• Green Mountain offers newer surroundings and cleaner streets.
• Shawood is the only true custom pocket on Green Mountain right now.

If you want engineered construction over a prestigious address, Shawood is a solid fit.

Firestone Ridge by Cascade West

Firestone Ridge is the best fit for buyers who want flexibility. Cascade West can use an existing plan, modify one, or start from scratch.

The neighborhood has about 36 home sites and is about half sold out. Budget around $1.4 million or more.

Location advantages

Firestone Ridge is near SR-14 and 192nd Avenue, which makes daily life easier.

That means quicker access to:

• Shopping
• Dining
• Appointments
• Errands

It is also near project-based learning schools, which matters to some buyers.

Lot types and style options

Most of the best view lots are gone, but there are still opportunities.

Cascade West builds:

• Modern homes
• Transitional homes
• Traditional homes

Firestone Ridge works best for two-story homes. If you want a flatter lot and a better fit for one-level living, Cascade West also has options at Collins Crest.

McIntosh Point

McIntosh Point is one of the strongest custom communities in Camas. It offers:

• South Prune Hill location
• Larger lots
• A gated section
• Mount Hood view potential

The community has 28 total home sites and is about 30% sold out. For a standout home here, plan on $1.5 million and up.

Lot sizes

• Gated lots: around 14,000 square feet
• Non-gated lots: around 8,000 to 9,000 square feet

What Affinity Homes does well here

Affinity Homes is a strong match for this neighborhood. The builder is known for polished design and strong curb appeal.

Common features include:

• Black frame windows
• Large windows for natural light
• Side-facing garages
• Custom exterior details

The style range includes modern, traditional, and transitional homes.

Gated vs. non-gated lots

The gated lots are larger and feel more private. After construction is done, that side becomes a private road.

The non-gated lots still offer a strong Prune Hill location, but with smaller yards.

View lots carry the biggest premium. If Mount Hood matters, expect to pay more.

Sunview Estates

Sunview Estates is the smallest community on this list and the most modern. Modern Northwest Homes builds ultra-modern, boxy homes here.

There are 15 lots total, with lot sizes from about 6,000 to 12,000 square feet. Budget around $1.7 million or more.

Why the views matter

Depending on the lot, buyers can get views toward:

• The river
• The I-205 bridge
• Portland

The road is gated, but pedestrian access stays public because the city requires walkability through the area.

Is this the right fit?

Sunview works best for buyers who want:

• Bold modern design
• A gated setting
• Smaller lot footprints
• Strong views

It is not the right fit if you want farmhouse, traditional, or softer suburban styling.

Final thoughts

Camas custom new construction in 2026 has four clear options:

• Shawood for engineered peace of mind
• Firestone Ridge for flexibility and convenience
• McIntosh Point for premium Prune Hill lots and views
• Sunview Estates for a modern gated home

Most buyers should expect to spend $1.2 million to $1.7 million or more.
