Mill Creek Real Estate

The city of Mill Creek was once an expanse of rural Snohomish County farmland. In the 1970's, the area was chosen as the building site for a gated golf course community. Thus, Mill Creek was born. Easy access to Interstate 5 makes Mill Creek an attractive suburb of Seattle and Everett. This booming residential community is rapidly expanding to meet the demand of incoming residents.

Home to more than 13,000 people, Mill Creek real estate prices are rising, but are still more affordable than buying in the larger metropolitan cities. Nice, three-bedroom homes are priced in the mid $300,000's. For the low to mid $400,000's you can buy a four-bedroom home with nearly 3,000 square feet of living space. In February 2006, the average single family home or condo sold for $458,027.

The newer Mill Creek housing developments convey a similar aesthetic quality to the homes on the original 18-hole golf course. Tree-lined sidewalks, beautiful landscaping, and picture-postcard home fronts are the norm. Pride in ownership is very apparent among Creek real estate owners.

The Mill Creek Country Club offers more than just 18 holes of golf and houses along the fairways. Miles of walking paths are well-used for recreation. A pool, tennis courts, fine dining, and social events are also available here.

As more families and single professionals move to Mill Creek, the need for additional services such as grocery stores, athletic facilities, and medical clinics is increasing. Construction of strip malls, restaurants, and other businesses are happening all around Mill Creek. Three public parks have been built so far, and many neighborhood cul-de-sacs have community playgrounds.

Driving the seven miles to Everett or the 18.5 miles to Seattle is a small price to pay for living in the beautiful city of Mill Creek. Future planned development will ensure that the area continues to grow and that Mill Creek real estate appreciates.
