Tukwila Real Estate

In 1908, the south King County city of Tukwila became incorporated. Located at the junction of Interstate 5 and Interstate 405, Tukwila is just minutes to the Seattle-Tacoma International airport. A significant center of commerce, approximately 45,000 people work in Tukwila every day – even though the city's population is only around 17,000!

For starters, Tukwila is home to Southcenter Mall, one of the largest shopping complexes in the greater Seattle area. The Boeing Company corporate headquarters are here and so is the extremely popular Museum of Flight. You'll also find countless warehouse, distribution, and manufacturing facilities in Tukwila.

For the people that live here, however, Tukwila is more than office parks, transportation outlets, and fast food restaurants. To the residents, Tukwila is a small town community amidst big city industry.

Tukwila real estate is an eclectic mix of older homes, farmland, and newer housing developments tucked into the hills surrounding the business complexes. Housing prices start in the high $100,000's to low $200,000's for older homes and fixers. Newer construction with modern amenities starts in the $340,000 range. And homes on larger parcels of land with subdivision potential might run $600,000 or more. The average single family home or condo sold in February 2006 for $252,100.

Many people buy Tukwila real estate because it's more affordable than the surrounding cities of Seattle and Bellevue. Plus, they can enjoy a tight-knit community while still having access to the quality goods and services associated with city life. The solid tax base and small school district translates to an excellent education system and families are grateful for this advantage.

The Tukwila Community Center is a fabulous facility located on the Duwamish River and is a focal point for fun. The Center is home to the recreation division of Tukwila's Parks and Recreation Department and offers programs, events, and activities for all ages.
