The area offers a vast mix of ownership and rental moorages with a broad range of home sizes, styles, features, and price points suited to a wide variety of buyers. The moorages located directly on Hayden Island are primarily slip-owned communities, all featuring gated and secured parking. Two of the slip-owned moorages benefit from newer infrastructure systems, while the island-based moorages generally enjoy southern exposure with many homes positioned to capture sunset views to the west.
Hayden Island itself is heavily populated with retail shopping, restaurants, hotels, and a broad range of everyday services, much of which is walkable from the island-based moorages. Within this more urban waterfront environment, boaters may enjoy access to multiple boat-up restaurants, the revitalized Vancouver Waterfront, or make the short trip into downtown Portland by water or vehicle.
The area is also highly bike-friendly, with interconnected paths and routes extending into Portland and Vancouver, along with convenient access to Kelley Point Park at the convergence of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Riders may also easily access many of the vibrant North and Northeast Portland neighborhoods known for their active restaurant and food scene. In addition, residents can quickly bike to the recently revitalized Vancouver Waterfront and downtown Vancouver.
Those seeking a more active and urban floating home environment with direct freeway access north or south, extensive nearby amenities within walking distance, and southern exposure coupled with sunset views will likely appreciate what is considered the most centrally located floating home setting in the region.
