Southcliff

Southcliff is a secluded enclave of attractive, well-maintained owner occupied, single family homes. Southcliff is situated in the Southwest corner of McLoughlin Heights. There are 104 single family homes. The streets are above average width for residential neighborhoods, with curbs but no sidewalks. The wide streets easily accommodate walking and cycling and are well used for those activities. There is a park in our neighborhood and the most insistent neighborhood goal is to improve the appearance of the park and to provide amenities that would encourage neighborly activity. Southcliff was developed (actually redeveloped from WW II temporary housing) in the late 1950's. With wise forethought, the developers (Vancouver Housing Authority) planned the houses to face inward rather than toward Mill Plain Blvd. What they did not foresee was the phenomenal traffic increase on Mill Plain. Today the Southcliff backyards along Mill Plain must contend with the heavy traffic that impacts back yard activities. On the whole, we have a pleasant, friendly neighborhood whose residents would like to cooperatively improve the park and mitigate the Mill Plain traffic impact on the backyards of the homes on Oregon Drive and Willamette Drive.
