Buying brand-new construction in East Vancouver, WA, usually means driving farther out and waiting for the area to catch up. Harmony Heights is different. It’s new construction in a built-out part of East Vancouver, near 192nd Ave and NE 18th St, with shopping, parks, and sports fields close by.
We’ll cover the location, the zero lot line lots, the two builders, current price ranges, and December 2025 incentives to ask about.
Harmony Heights overview
Harmony Heights is one of the bigger new construction communities to open in East Vancouver in recent years. It opened this summer, and homes are actively being built now. The neighborhood is designed for smaller lots and efficient floor plans, so you get usable indoor space without taking on a big yard.
This site used to be an old rock quarry, and parts may still be active as it phases down. Confirm current details with the builder or sales rep.
Expect a tidy, planned feel with sidewalks, fenced yards, and homes placed closer together than in a traditional large-lot neighborhood.
Location and everyday convenience
Harmony Heights is positioned for quick day-to-day runs and busy schedules. Most basics are a short drive away.
Nearby:
- Costco
- Home Depot
- Starbucks, Lowe’s, Walmart
- Harmony Sports Complex
- Pacific Community Park
Good for:
- Commuters who want faster access around East Vancouver
- Parents with practices, games, and weekend tournaments
- Anyone who wants errands close by
Quarry-related questions to ask (confirm current details):
- Any nearby work activity and typical hours
- Where noise or truck traffic is most likely (if applicable)
- Timeline for any remaining work near the neighborhood edges
- Long-term plan for the remaining quarry areas and buffers
Lots, layouts, and the zero lot line setup
This is not a big backyard community. Lots are intentionally smaller, and the homes are planned to match.
What was shared in the tour:
- Most lots are about 2,900 to 3,300 sq ft
- Some larger corner lots are reserved for bigger plans
- Fencing helps define outdoor space
- A reciprocal easement may allow access along the tighter side areas (confirm the exact terms per lot)
In plain terms, you’re trading side yard space for a newer home, a smaller yard to maintain, and a more efficient layout.
What “zero lot line” mean
A zero lot line home is built on one side of the property line, so the homes sit closer together.
What that usually includes:
- A firewall design with fire-resistant materials
- Typically no openings on the firewall side (fewer penetrations)
- Less side yard space, more interior square footage for the footprint
Plain English takeaway: more interior space, less side yard.
Pros and tradeoffs
Pros
- Less yard work
- More house for the lot size
- Fenced yard feel (often helpful for pets and simple privacy)
- Efficient exterior layout for smaller-lot living
Tradeoffs
- Closer neighbors
- Window placement limits on the firewall side
- Side access can be tight, even with an easement
- Privacy may take planning (blinds, landscaping, patio placement)
Questions to ask before choosing a lot:
- Where are the gates located, and how wide are they?
- What does the easement allow, and who maintains it?
- What exterior upkeep is on you vs the HOA/builder?
Builders, pricing, and next steps
Harmony Heights has two builders, and it’s worth touring both models because the layouts and feel are different.
Price ranges shared in the tour:
- Holt Homes: $530s to low $600s
