Lake Forest Park Real Estate

The King County city of Lake Forest Park is beautified by towering trees, numerous streams, views of the surrounding mountain ranges, and the north shore of Lake Washington. Bordered by Seattle to the south and the Snohomish County line to the north, the residents of Lake Forest Park enjoy easy access to Interstate 5 and a short 30-minute (or less) commute to the major employment hubs of Seattle, Bellevue, and Everett.

Primarily a residential community, Lake Forest Park offers an eclectic array of homes and neighborhoods, from waterfront property and houses with backyard streams, to hillside developments with commanding views and older cul-de-sacs with quiet demeanors.

Aside from fabulous housing options, Lake Forest Park real estate has much to offer prospective home buyers. Two waterfront beach clubs – Sheridan Beach Community Club and Lake Forest Park Civic Club – provide hours of enjoyment for members. The popular Burke Gilman Trail, a 32-mile path that follows the shores of Lake Washington, winds through the community. And the city's families are served by the well-respected Shoreline School District and Shoreline Community College.

A strong sense of community is woven into the daily life of Lake Forest Park residents. The Third Place Commons at the Lake Forest Park Towne Center mall provides a welcoming atmosphere for get-togethers. A performance stage within the Commons area is used by a variety of schools and local arts groups to present concerts, plays, and other types of local entertainment. Civic pursuits, including the Lake City Elks and the Rotary, also have a strong following here.

The Lake Forest Park real estate market lists homes in a variety of prices ranges. The housing prices typically start in the low $300,000's and go up incrementally as you encounter property with wooded lots, scenic views, or a waterfront location. In February 2006, the average home sold for $386,007.
