Bothell Homes for Sale

Downtown Bothell has undergone one of the most remarkable transformations on the Eastside. What was once a quiet mill town centered around lumber and logging is now a vibrant urban village where historic character meets modern walkability. Main Street buzzes with locally-owned restaurants, craft breweries, and the iconic McMenamins Anderson School—a beautifully converted 1930s schoolhouse now serving as a boutique hotel, restaurant, brewery, and community gathering space.

The Sammamish River Trail runs right through downtown, connecting cyclists and walkers to miles of scenic pathways. The University of Washington Bothell campus sits just minutes away, bringing energy, culture, and educational opportunities to the neighborhood. Downtown Bothell is where you can walk to dinner, grab coffee at a local roaster, catch live music at McMenamins, and still be home in five minutes—all without touching your car.

This is condo and townhome territory, attracting young professionals, UW faculty, empty nesters downsizing from larger Eastside homes, and anyone seeking an urban lifestyle without the Seattle price tag or commute. The vibe is relaxed yet sophisticated—think farmers markets on weekends, outdoor dining in summer, and a genuine sense of community you won't find in high-rise towers.

Sonoma Villero: My Downtown Bothell Legacy

Here's what sets my downtown expertise apart: Between 1999 and 2002, I served as the master sales representative for Sonoma Villero, a premier condominium and townhome development in the heart of downtown Bothell. I personally sold all 240 units—every single one—guiding buyers through floor plan selection, customization options, financing, and closing.

That wasn't the end of the relationship. Over the past 25 years, I've sold homes for more than two dozen of those original Sonoma Villero owners as they've moved on to their next chapter—whether upsizing to single-family homes, relocating for work, or downsizing again after raising families. They came back to me because they remembered the experience: clear communication, market expertise, and a closing process that felt smooth rather than stressful.

That kind of repeat business doesn't happen by accident. It happens when you deliver results, stay in touch, and genuinely care about what happens after the sale. If you're considering a downtown Bothell condo or townhome—whether at Sonoma Villero or any of the newer developments—you're working with someone who knows these buildings inside and out, from construction quality to HOA management to resale value trends.

Who Lives in Downtown Bothell?

Young Professionals: Microsoft, Amazon, and Google employees who want walkable urban living without Seattle's traffic and cost. Canyon Park offices are 10 minutes away, Redmond is 20 minutes, and you're home for happy hour on the McMenamins patio.

Empty Nesters: Couples who've raised families in Bellevue or Kirkland and are ready to trade yard work for low-maintenance condo living. They want culture, dining, walkability, and the freedom to lock the door and travel without worrying about lawn care.

UW Bothell Faculty & Staff: Professors and administrators who want to live close to campus in a community that values education and culture. The Bothell campus has grown significantly, and many faculty prefer the charm of downtown over generic apartment complexes.

Downtown Bothell Market Snapshot (November 2025)

As of November 2025, downtown Bothell condominiums show strong buyer interest with a median sales price of $958,000 year-to-date. The market has shifted from the frenzied pace of 2021-2022, with current inventory at 35 active listings and 3.3 months of supply—meaning buyers have more negotiating power than they've had in years.

Days on market have increased to an average of 39 days, up from the pandemic-era "sold in 48 hours" environment. This is good news for buyers: you have time to think, compare options, and negotiate terms. For sellers, it means proper pricing and professional marketing matter more than ever. Homes that are overpriced or poorly presented are sitting, while well-priced, well-staged properties still attract multiple offers.

I've helped investors purchase downtown Bothell condos for buy-and-hold strategies, advising on purchase price, which units offer the best rental returns, and what upgrades maximize tenant appeal. Then, 5-7 years later, I've sold those same condos for top dollar and guided owners through 1031 exchanges into their next investment. That's the value of working with someone who understands both the buying and selling side—and the rental market in between.

What You'll Love About Downtown Bothell

McMenamins Anderson School: This isn't just a hotel and restaurant—it's a community institution. The historic building features a brewery, movie theater, soaking pool, multiple bars and dining spaces, live music, and art installations. It's where locals meet for trivia nights, where out-of-town guests stay when visiting, and where you'll end up spending Sunday afternoons on the lawn.

Main Street Dining & Shops: Locally-owned restaurants serve everything from farm-to-table Pacific Northwest cuisine to Thai, Mexican, and Italian. You'll find independent coffee roasters, boutique shops, and a genuine Main Street feel that's increasingly rare on the Eastside.

Sammamish River Trail: This paved multi-use trail runs 10.9 miles from Bothell to Redmond's Marymoor Park, connecting to the Burke-Gilman Trail for even longer rides. It's your morning run, your evening bike commute, your weekend family outing—and it's right outside your door.

UW Bothell Campus: The university brings cultural events, lectures, performances, and a youthful energy to the neighborhood. The campus itself is beautifully designed with modern architecture and wetland preservation, open to the public for walking and exploring.

Low-Maintenance Lifestyle: Condo living means no yard work, no roof repairs, no gutter cleaning. Your HOA handles exterior maintenance, landscaping, and common areas. You get to enjoy your weekends instead of spending them at Home Depot.

Commute Times from Downtown Bothell

Microsoft Redmond: 20 minutes via SR-522 and SR-520
Amazon Bellevue: 25 minutes via I-405
Google Kirkland: 15 minutes via SR-522
Downtown Seattle: 30-35 minutes via I-5
Bellevue Downtown: 20 minutes via I-405

You're close to everything that matters on the Eastside, but without the traffic congestion of living directly in Bellevue or Redmond. Plus, reverse commutes are easier—if you work in Seattle, you're going against the main flow of traffic.

Canyon Park is Bothell's tech corridor—a modern, master-planned community where corporate campuses, new construction townhomes, and family-friendly amenities create the ideal environment for professionals who want convenience without sacrificing quality of life. If you work at Microsoft, Amazon, Google, or any of the tech companies clustered along the I-405 corridor, Canyon Park puts you minutes from the office and close to everything the Eastside offers.

This isn't old Bothell. Canyon Park features contemporary architecture, HOA-maintained landscaping, newer schools, and a business park atmosphere that feels more Redmond than rural. You'll see Microsoft shuttle buses, Amazon delivery vans, and professionals on lunch breaks at the nearby restaurants and cafes. It's a community built for people on the move—both literally and in their careers.

Young Families: First-time homebuyers or couples upgrading from Seattle condos who want yards, good schools, and safe neighborhoods for raising kids. Canyon Park offers newer construction with open floor plans perfect for young families.

Busy Professionals: People who travel frequently for work or simply don't have time for home maintenance. Newer townhomes with HOA-maintained exteriors mean you can lock the door Friday afternoon and fly to New York without worrying about yard work.

Canyon Park Market Snapshot (November 2025)

Canyon Park falls primarily within the 98012 zip code, where residential homes showed a median sales price of $1,075,000 year-to-date as of November 2025. Inventory has increased significantly—101 active listings compared to 46 the previous year—giving buyers more choices and negotiating leverage.

Days on market average 33 days for homes and 39 days for condos, a healthy shift from the pandemic-era bidding wars. Buyers are taking their time, comparing options, and negotiating repairs or closing costs. For sellers, this means pricing strategy and presentation matter more than ever.

I recently helped a Microsoft engineer getting married find a new construction home for his growing family. We negotiated 4% below the list price—something that wouldn't have been possible in 2021-2022. Then, when he got promoted and needed to relocate to the Bay Area two years later, I sold his home in 11 days with multiple offers. That's the Canyon Park market: liquid, desirable, and attractive to the next wave of tech buyers.

What You'll Love About Canyon Park

Modern Construction: Most Canyon Park homes were built in the 2000s-2010s, meaning open floor plans, energy-efficient appliances, contemporary finishes, and fewer deferred maintenance headaches. You're buying a home built for how people actually live today—not a 1970s rambler with choppy rooms and outdated systems.

Corporate Campus Proximity: Major employers have facilities in or near Canyon Park, including AT&T, Philips, and numerous tech startups. You're surrounded by professionals who share your lifestyle and career priorities.

Parks & Recreation: North Creek Park, Centennial Park, and the North Creek Trail provide ample green space for walking, jogging, and family activities. You're close to nature without sacrificing suburban convenience.

Dining & Shopping: Canyon Park has evolved from pure business park to include restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and services. You're not isolated—everything you need for daily life is within a 5-10 minute drive.

Northshore School District Access: Many Canyon Park homes feed into Northshore schools, one of Washington's top-rated districts. Even if you don't have kids yet, strong schools protect resale value and attract future buyers.

Commute Times from Canyon Park

Microsoft Redmond: 18 minutes via SR-522 and SR-520
Amazon Bellevue: 22 minutes via I-405
Google Kirkland: 12 minutes via SR-522
Downtown Seattle: 28-32 minutes via I-5
Seattle-Tacoma Airport: 45 minutes via I-405 South

You're positioned perfectly for Eastside employment without the soul-crushing I-405 parking lot commute that Bellevue and Redmond residents face daily. Plus, if you work hybrid or remote, you're close enough to go into the office when needed but far enough to feel like you've left work behind.

North Creek is where families plant roots. With over 100 acres of parks, miles of trails, sports fields for every season, and access to Northshore School District's top-rated schools, this neighborhood is purpose-built for raising kids. Picture cul-de-sac streets where children ride bikes together, neighbors know each other's names, and weekends revolve around soccer games, trail walks, and backyard barbecues.

The North Creek Trail system is the neighborhood's crown jewel—a paved multi-use path that winds through wetlands and connects to regional trails, perfect for morning runs, family bike rides, and dog walks. Sports enthusiasts love the athletic fields at North Creek Park, which host youth leagues, pickup games, and community events throughout the year. This is active, outdoor-focused living without needing to drive to find nature.

North Creek homes are predominantly single-family, ranging from 1990s-2000s construction with established landscaping to newer builds with modern floor plans. You'll find three- and four-bedroom homes with yards large enough for swing sets and trampolines, two-car garages, and neighborhoods where families stay for years—often until their kids graduate high school.

Real Story: Finding the Perfect Family Cul-de-Sac

I recently worked with a young family outgrowing their starter townhome. They had clear priorities: a larger lot with room for kids to play, a quiet cul-de-sac street so children could ride bikes safely, other families nearby for built-in friendships, and walking distance to a highly-rated elementary school.

We found exactly that in North Creek. Even in a competitive market with multiple offers, we won the home without overpaying. How? I knew the listing agent personally, understood the sellers' needs (they wanted certainty they could close on time for their next purchase), and structured our offer to give them confidence—not just the highest price. The family moved in, their kids immediately made friends with neighbor children, and they're walking to school every morning just like they dreamed.

That's the North Creek advantage: established neighborhoods with genuine community, where your neighbors become your friends and your kids grow up together.

Who Lives in North Creek?

Growing Families: Parents with elementary and middle school-aged children who prioritize safe streets, outdoor play space, and access to top schools. They're often upsizing from condos or townhomes and plan to stay through high school graduation.

Active Lifestyle Enthusiasts: Runners, cyclists, and outdoor lovers who want trails out their front door. North Creek residents use the trail system daily—it's not just a weekend amenity but a genuine part of daily life.

Professionals with Kids: Microsoft, Amazon, and Boeing employees who want family-friendly neighborhoods within reasonable commuting distance. They're willing to drive 25-30 minutes for the right home environment.

North Creek Market Snapshot (November 2025)

North Creek primarily falls within the 98021 and 98012 zip codes. In 98021, residential median sales prices reached $1,293,276 year-to-date as of November 2025, reflecting the premium families place on Northshore School District access and established neighborhoods.

Inventory has increased to 60 active listings compared to 26 the previous year, creating a more balanced market. Days on market average 35 days for residential properties, giving buyers time to compare options and negotiate terms. Percent of list price received hovers around 97.6%, meaning well-priced homes still attract strong interest, but the days of automatic bidding wars are over.

This is good news for families who want to think carefully about their decision rather than feeling rushed into offers. You can walk the neighborhood multiple times, attend open houses on consecutive weekends, and make an informed choice—luxuries that weren't available in 2021-2022.

What You'll Love About North Creek

North Creek Trail System: Over 6 miles of paved trails winding through wetlands, forests, and parks. It's your daily exercise, your family bike outing, your dog's favorite walk—all without getting in the car.

North Creek Park: 44 acres featuring soccer fields, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, and open green space. Youth sports leagues play here year-round, and summer weekends are filled with community events and pickup games.

Northshore School District: North Creek feeds into some of the district's highest-rated schools, including Fernwood Elementary and Crystal Springs Elementary (both consistently scoring 9/10 or higher on GreatSchools). Parents move here specifically for these schools.

Safe, Quiet Streets: Most North Creek neighborhoods feature cul-de-sacs with minimal through-traffic. Kids ride bikes, draw with sidewalk chalk, and play basketball in driveways—scenes increasingly rare in busier Eastside cities.

Established Trees & Landscaping: Unlike brand-new developments with sapling trees, North Creek has mature landscaping that provides shade, privacy, and a sense of permanence. Your yard won't look like a construction zone.

Commute Times from North Creek

Microsoft Redmond: 22 minutes via SR-522 and SR-520
Amazon Bellevue: 25 minutes via I-405
Google Kirkland: 15 minutes via SR-522
Boeing Everett: 30 minutes via I-405 North
Downtown Seattle: 30-35 minutes via I-5

North Creek offers the rare combination of true suburban family living with reasonable Eastside commutes. You're close enough to major employment centers that commuting doesn't dominate your life, but far enough that home feels like an escape from work.

When families say "we need Northshore schools," they're talking about one of the most prestigious public school districts in Washington State. Northshore School District consistently ranks among the top districts statewide, with schools regularly scoring 9s and 10s on GreatSchools, National Blue Ribbon recognitions, and Advanced Placement programs that rival private institutions. Parents move here—and pay a premium to do so—because they know their children will receive an exceptional education.

The Northshore neighborhood itself represents the upper tier of Bothell real estate: larger lots, custom estates, mature landscaping, and low turnover. These aren't starter homes or five-year properties—families buy here with the intention of staying through high school graduation and beyond. The neighborhood exudes permanence, stability, and quiet prestige.

You'll find custom-built homes on half-acre to acre-plus lots, many with luxury finishes, three-car garages, bonus rooms, home offices, and carefully maintained landscaping. This is where Eastside executives, successful entrepreneurs, and professionals who've climbed the career ladder settle when they want the best schools, the best neighborhood, and a home that reflects their success.

Why Northshore School District Commands a Premium

The School District Advantage: Northshore School District serves over 23,000 students across Bothell, Kenmore, Woodinville, and parts of Kirkland. The district consistently outperforms state averages in standardized testing, offers robust STEM programs, advanced arts education, and athletics programs that win state championships.

Top Elementary Schools: Crystal Springs Elementary, Fernwood Elementary, and Skyview Elementary all score 9/10 or 10/10 on GreatSchools. These aren't just good schools—they're among the best public elementaries in the state.

Highly-Rated Middle Schools: Bothell High School and Inglemoor High School both offer Advanced Placement courses, International Baccalaureate programs, and college counseling that rivals private schools. Graduation rates exceed 95%, and college acceptance rates are among the highest in Washington.

Community Investment: Parents in Northshore neighborhoods are actively involved—volunteering in classrooms, funding enrichment programs through PTAs, and creating a culture where education is the top priority. Your neighbors will care as much about their kids' education as you do.

This school quality doesn't just benefit families with children—it protects resale value. Even if you don't have kids, buying in Northshore School District means your home will always appeal to the largest, most financially stable buyer pool on the Eastside: families willing to pay for great schools.

Who Lives in Northshore?

School-Focused Families: Parents who prioritize education above all else and are willing to pay premium prices for guaranteed access to top-rated schools. They're often professionals—doctors, lawyers, engineers, executives—who value academic rigor and extracurricular excellence.

Established Professionals: Mid-to-late career individuals and couples who've built wealth and want a home that reflects their success. They appreciate quality construction, luxury finishes, and neighborhoods with low turnover.

Multigenerational Families: Some Northshore residents have lived here for 20-30 years, raised their children, and now enjoy the stability and community they've helped build. When they do sell, it's often to downsize—but they frequently stay within Bothell.

Northshore Market Snapshot (November 2025)

Luxury properties in Northshore neighborhoods command premium prices, with year-to-date median sales reaching $1,293,276 in the 98021 zip code as of November 2025. Inventory has increased to 60 active listings, providing more options for discerning buyers but still reflecting the neighborhood's low turnover.

Days on market average 35 days for residential properties, indicating that while the frenzy of 2021-2022 has cooled, well-priced luxury homes still move efficiently. Buyers are taking more time to evaluate finishes, lot sizes, and school boundaries, but quality properties don't languish.

Percent of list price received hovers around 99.9%, meaning sellers who price correctly and present homes professionally still receive close to asking. Overpriced properties sit, while homes priced at market value attract serious offers quickly.

What You'll Love About Northshore

Unmatched School Quality: Access to some of Washington's best public schools without private school tuition. Your children get a top-tier education while you invest in real estate that appreciates.

Larger Lots & Privacy: Many Northshore homes sit on half-acre to full-acre lots with mature trees, providing privacy, space for outdoor living, and room for kids (and pets) to roam.

Luxury Finishes & Custom Builds: Expect hardwood floors, granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, chef's kitchens, and thoughtful architectural details. Many homes are custom-built rather than production tract housing.

Low Turnover & Stability: Neighbors stay for years, creating genuine community rather than transient apartment-style living. Your kids will grow up with the same friends from kindergarten through high school.

Strong Resale Value: Northshore School District homes hold value better than non-district homes during market downturns and appreciate faster during upswings. School quality is the ultimate real estate hedge.

Commute Times from Northshore

Microsoft Redmond: 23 minutes via SR-522 and SR-520
Amazon Bellevue: 27 minutes via I-405
Google Kirkland: 16 minutes via SR-522
Downtown Seattle: 32-35 minutes via I-5
Bellevue Downtown: 23 minutes via I-405

Yes, the commute is slightly longer than living directly in Bellevue or Redmond—but families accept that trade-off for better schools, larger lots, and neighborhoods where children thrive. When you factor in quality of life, the extra 5-10 minutes becomes insignificant.

Bothell Landing is where the city's history comes alive. This waterfront corridor along the Sammamish River preserves Bothell's mill town heritage while offering modern access to one of the Eastside's most beloved recreational trails. The Landing features historic buildings, waterfront parks, public art installations, and a genuine sense of place that newer developments simply can't replicate.

The Sammamish River Trail runs right through Bothell Landing, connecting to miles of paved pathways perfect for cycling, running, and walking. On summer weekends, you'll see kayakers and paddleboarders launching from the shore, families picnicking in waterfront parks, and locals strolling through the historic downtown core. This is active, outdoor-focused living with a side of nostalgia and community character.

Homes in Bothell Landing range from charming older cottages with river views to modern townhomes and renovated single-family properties. The appeal isn't pristine suburban uniformity—it's character, location, and the unique lifestyle that comes with waterfront access. You're steps from the trail, minutes from downtown dining, and surrounded by neighbors who chose this area specifically for its blend of history and natural beauty.

Real Story: Selling a Waterfront Estate for Top Dollar

A past client recommended me to his father, who had just retired and wanted to sell his Bothell Landing waterfront home to relocate to Arizona. His goal was simple: get top dollar and close quickly so he could start his retirement on schedule.

We staged the home professionally, hired a photographer who understood how to capture waterfront properties, and launched a targeted online marketing campaign that created genuine buzz. The home sold in seven days with multiple offers, $40,000 over asking price. The buyer was a tech executive who'd been searching for waterfront living without Lake Washington price tags—exactly the demographic we targeted.

That sale worked because we understood what makes Bothell Landing special: it's not just a home, it's a lifestyle. We marketed the trail access, the river views, the historic charm, and the proximity to downtown Bothell's urban amenities. The right buyer saw the value immediately and paid accordingly.

Who Lives in Bothell Landing?

Waterfront Enthusiasts: Kayakers, cyclists, runners, and outdoor lovers who want recreational access out their front door. These aren't weekend warriors—they're people who use the trail system daily and structure their lives around outdoor activity.

Character Home Seekers: Buyers who appreciate historic architecture, unique properties, and neighborhoods with genuine personality rather than cookie-cutter subdivisions. They're willing to accept older construction in exchange for charm and location.

Downtown Proximity Lovers: People who want quick access to downtown Bothell's dining, McMenamins, and community events without living in a high-density condo building. Bothell Landing offers the best of both worlds: waterfront serenity with urban convenience.

Empty Nesters: Retirees or near-retirees downsizing from larger Eastside homes who want walkability, recreation, and a strong sense of community. The Landing's slower pace and outdoor focus appeal to this demographic.

Bothell Landing Market Snapshot (November 2025)

Bothell Landing properties fall within the 98011 zip code, where residential median sales prices reached $1,180,000 year-to-date as of November 2025. Waterfront and waterfront-adjacent properties command premiums above this median, particularly those with direct river access or unobstructed trail views.

Inventory stands at 28 active listings with 1.7 months of supply—a relatively balanced market compared to the tight conditions of previous years. Days on market average 28 days for residential properties, indicating that well-priced waterfront homes still move efficiently despite the broader market cooldown.

Bothell Landing's unique character means pricing requires local expertise. Generic comparative market analysis tools don't account for trail proximity, river views, or the intangible appeal of historic neighborhoods. That's where my 25+ years of Bothell experience matters—I know what buyers will pay for waterfront access and how to position properties to maximize value.

What You'll Love About Bothell Landing

Sammamish River Trail Access: The 10.9-mile paved trail runs right through the neighborhood, connecting to Redmond's Marymoor Park and the Burke-Gilman Trail. You can bike to Redmond, run to Kenmore, or walk to downtown Bothell—all car-free.

Waterfront Recreation: Kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and wildlife watching are all accessible from Bothell Landing. The Sammamish River isn't Lake Washington, but it offers peaceful water recreation without the crowds or boat traffic.

Historic Character: Original buildings from Bothell's mill town era have been preserved and repurposed, creating a neighborhood with genuine history rather than manufactured "historic style." You're living in a place with roots and stories.

Downtown Bothell Connection: Main Street dining, McMenamins, coffee shops, and community events are all within walking or biking distance. You get waterfront living without isolation from urban amenities.

Park & Public Spaces: Bothell Landing Park features waterfront access, public art, interpretive historical displays, and open green space for community events and personal relaxation.

Commute Times from Bothell Landing

Microsoft Redmond: 22 minutes via SR-522 and SR-520
Amazon Bellevue: 26 minutes via I-405
Google Kirkland: 16 minutes via SR-522
Downtown Seattle: 30-32 minutes via I-5
UW Bothell Campus: 5 minutes (walkable/bikeable)

Bothell Landing offers reasonable commutes to major Eastside employers while providing a lifestyle that feels miles away from corporate campuses. You leave work, bike home along the river, and arrive to a completely different environment—that mental separation is worth the 20-minute drive.

Inglewood represents classic Eastside suburban elegance: mature estates on larger lots, tree-lined streets, and the prestigious address of living adjacent to Wayne Golf Course. This is where professionals who've achieved career success settle into homes that reflect their accomplishments—properties with three-car garages, home offices, bonus rooms, and meticulously maintained landscaping.

Wayne Golf Course defines the neighborhood's character. This public 18-hole course winds through Inglewood, providing golf course views for many homes and creating permanent green space that can never be developed. Even if you don't golf, you benefit from the open vistas, maintained grounds, and the quiet that comes from having a golf course as your neighbor rather than another subdivision.

Inglewood homes were primarily built in the 1980s-1990s, meaning you get established neighborhoods with mature trees and landscaping that provides genuine privacy and shade. These aren't the sapling-lined streets of new construction—you're buying into a neighborhood that's had decades to develop its character and sense of permanence.

Who Lives in Inglewood?

Golf Enthusiasts: Active golfers who want to walk to the first tee, practice their swing in the backyard, and live surrounded by fellow golf lovers. Wayne Golf Course becomes an extension of their property and daily routine.

Established Professionals: Mid-to-late career executives, business owners, and successful professionals who want larger homes, prestigious addresses, and neighborhoods where their success is reflected in their surroundings.

Privacy Seekers: Buyers who appreciate larger lots (often 8,000-12,000+ square feet), mature landscaping, and the peace that comes from low-density neighborhoods. Inglewood offers suburban quiet without rural isolation.

Families Who've Outgrown Starter Homes: Parents moving up from townhomes or smaller single-family properties who want room for growing families, home offices, guest rooms, and yards large enough for swing sets and trampolines.

Inglewood Market Snapshot (November 2025)

Inglewood primarily falls within the 98011 zip code, where residential properties showed a median sales price of $1,180,000 year-to-date as of November 2025. Golf course-adjacent properties and larger estates often command premiums above this median, particularly homes with direct course views or exceptional privacy.

Current inventory stands at 28 active listings with 1.7 months of supply, creating a balanced market where buyers have choices but quality properties don't sit long. Days on market average 28 days for residential homes, indicating that well-priced estates still attract serious buyers efficiently.

The luxury segment has softened from pandemic peaks, which benefits buyers. Sellers who price aggressively based on 2021-2022 values are finding homes sit unsold, while those who recognize current market realities are achieving clean sales with minimal negotiation. This is a market where expertise matters—knowing the difference between a $1.3M property and a $1.6M property requires understanding finishes, lot premiums, and buyer psychology.

What You'll Love About Inglewood

Wayne Golf Course: This public 18-hole course offers challenging play, well-maintained greens, and year-round access (weather permitting). Living adjacent means you can walk to the course, practice putting in your yard with course views, and enjoy permanent open space.

Larger Lots & Privacy: Inglewood lots typically range from 8,000 to 15,000+ square feet, providing space for outdoor living, privacy from neighbors, and room for landscaping that creates your own personal sanctuary.

Mature Landscaping: Decades-old trees provide shade, privacy, and a sense of permanence that new construction simply can't replicate. Your yard won't look like a construction zone—it's already established and beautiful.

Established Neighborhood Stability: Low turnover means neighbors know each other, street trees are mature, and the community has developed genuine character. This isn't a transient neighborhood—people stay.

Northshore School District Access: Many Inglewood homes feed into Northshore schools, combining golf course living with access to top-rated education. You get luxury amenities and strong schools in one package.

Three-Car Garages & Storage: Inglewood estates typically feature three-car garages, bonus rooms, and ample storage—practical luxuries that make daily life easier and provide space for hobbies, workshops, or growing families.

Commute Times from Inglewood

Microsoft Redmond: 24 minutes via SR-522 and SR-520
Amazon Bellevue: 28 minutes via I-405
Google Kirkland: 17 minutes via SR-522
Boeing Everett: 28 minutes via I-405 North
Downtown Seattle: 33-35 minutes via I-5

Inglewood's commutes are reasonable for Eastside employment, though slightly longer than living directly in Bellevue or Redmond. The trade-off is clear: you get golf course living, larger lots, privacy, and established neighborhoods—luxuries worth an extra 5-10 minutes in the car.

Fitzgerald is Bothell's rural escape—a neighborhood where acre-plus lots, equestrian properties, and genuine privacy create a lifestyle that feels worlds away from Eastside traffic and density. This is where you'll find horse pastures, gated driveways, tree-lined properties, and the kind of peace that only comes from space and distance from neighbors.

Despite the rural character, Fitzgerald isn't isolated. You're still within 25-30 minutes of major Eastside employment centers and have quick access to I-405 for regional travel. What you gain is the ability to own land—real acreage where children can roam, horses can graze, and privacy is guaranteed by distance rather than fences.

Fitzgerald properties vary widely: some are working equestrian estates with barns, paddocks, and riding areas; others are simply large residential lots with extensive landscaping and room to breathe. What unites them is the appeal to buyers who want space, privacy, and the freedom to live on their own terms without HOA restrictions or neighbors peering through fence slats.

Who Lives in Fitzgerald?

Equestrian Families: Horse owners who want the ability to keep animals on-property rather than boarding off-site. Fitzgerald's larger lots and equestrian-friendly zoning make this possible without moving to rural Snohomish County.

Privacy Seekers: Buyers who prioritize space between neighbors, quiet surroundings, and the ability to live without feeling overlooked. These are people who value solitude and control over their immediate environment.

Successful Professionals: Executives, business owners, and high earners who want estate-quality homes with land but don't want hour-long commutes. Fitzgerald offers rural character with Eastside proximity.

Hobby Farmers & Gardeners: People who want to raise chickens, grow extensive vegetable gardens, maintain orchards, or pursue hobbies that require land. Fitzgerald's larger lots make these pursuits practical.

Fitzgerald Market Snapshot (November 2025)

Fitzgerald properties fall primarily within the 98021 zip code, where larger acreage estates command premium pricing. Year-to-date median sales reached $1,293,276 as of November 2025, though Fitzgerald's most desirable equestrian properties and large-lot estates often exceed $2M-$3M depending on acreage, improvements, and condition.

This is a specialized market with lower inventory turnover than standard suburban neighborhoods. Properties can sit longer—not because they're undesirable, but because the buyer pool is smaller and more specific. Equestrian buyers need equestrian properties; privacy seekers want land and seclusion. When the right buyer appears, sales happen efficiently.

Selling Fitzgerald properties requires understanding the unique value propositions: barn quality, pasture condition, well water vs. city utilities, septic systems, and how to market to buyers who appreciate rural living. Generic real estate marketing doesn't work here—you need an agent who understands acreage properties and knows how to reach the right audience.

Acreage & Land: Lots in Fitzgerald often range from 1 to 5+ acres, providing genuine space for horses, gardens, outbuildings, privacy landscaping, and room for children and pets to roam freely.

Equestrian Infrastructure: Many properties include barns, paddocks, riding arenas, and pasture—purpose-built for horse ownership. You can stable horses on your own property rather than paying monthly boarding fees.

Privacy & Quiet: Fitzgerald delivers the peace that only distance provides. Your nearest neighbor might be hundreds of feet away, separated by trees and land rather than a thin fence. You can't hear their conversations or lawn mowers.

Flexible Zoning: Larger lots often allow for guest houses, workshops, studios, or agricultural pursuits that wouldn't be permitted in standard residential zones. You have freedom to use your land creatively.

Rural Character with Urban Access: You get the feel of living in the country—mature trees, wildlife, quiet—while remaining within 25-30 minutes of Eastside jobs and amenities. It's the best of both worlds.

Investment in Land: While structures depreciate, land appreciates. Buying acreage in a growing region like the Eastside protects long-term wealth and provides options for future development or subdivision (zoning permitting).

Commute Times from Fitzgerald

Microsoft Redmond: 26 minutes via SR-522 and SR-520
Amazon Bellevue: 30 minutes via I-405
Google Kirkland: 18 minutes via SR-522
Boeing Everett: 25 minutes via I-405 North
Downtown Seattle: 35-38 minutes via I-5

Fitzgerald's commutes are the longest of any Bothell neighborhood featured here, but buyers who choose this area aren't prioritizing commute minimization—they're prioritizing land, privacy, and lifestyle. The extra 10-15 minutes is the price of owning acreage within reasonable distance of the Eastside.

Queensborough represents Bothell's established core—mid-century homes on quiet streets with mature landscaping, convenient I-405 access, and the kind of solid bones that appeal to families seeking value and renovation potential. This isn't the flashiest neighborhood or the one with the newest construction, but it's where smart buyers find opportunity.

Queensborough homes were primarily built in the 1960s-1970s, which means you'll encounter floor plans that may feel dated (choppy rooms, smaller kitchens, single-pane windows) but also construction quality that modern tract housing often lacks: real hardwood floors under the carpet, solid wood cabinets, plaster walls, and foundations built to last decades.

The appeal here is two-fold: entry-level luxury pricing for families stepping up from condos or townhomes, and renovation opportunities for buyers with vision who want to create their dream home through strategic updates rather than paying premium prices for someone else's taste.

Real Story: Helping Investors Flip Queensborough Homes

I've worked with a local builder and investor who specializes in buying Queensborough single-family homes, renovating them strategically, and selling for profit. Over several years, I helped him acquire and flip over half a dozen properties with profit margins of 15-22%.

The strategy was consistent: buy homes with solid bones but dated finishes in the $800K-$950K range, invest $80K-$120K in kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, new flooring, fresh paint, and landscaping, then sell for $1.1M-$1.3M. The math worked because Queensborough offered lower entry prices than Canyon Park or North Creek while still attracting Bothell buyers seeking established neighborhoods.

What made these flips successful wasn't just renovation work—it was understanding what Bothell buyers value: open floor plans, modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, and yards with appeal. Investors who over-improve (adding expensive custom features) don't recoup costs, while those who under-improve leave money on the table. The sweet spot requires market knowledge, and that's where my 25+ years of Bothell expertise delivered value.

Who Lives in Queensborough?

First-Time Luxury Buyers: Families upgrading from condos or townhomes who want single-family homes with yards but can't afford $1.3M+ Canyon Park or North Creek prices. Queensborough offers entry into Bothell homeownership.

Renovation Enthusiasts: DIY-savvy buyers or those working with contractors who see potential in dated homes. They're willing to live through kitchen remodels in exchange for building equity through improvements.

Commuters Prioritizing I-405 Access: Professionals working in Bellevue, Renton, or South King County who value quick freeway access over walkable downtown amenities. Queensborough's location makes north-south commutes efficient.

Long-Term Residents: Original owners or second-generation families who've lived in Queensborough for decades. When these homes come to market, they often represent excellent value because owners aren't tracking current pricing closely.

Queensborough Market Snapshot (November 2025)

Queensborough falls primarily within the 98012 zip code, where residential median sales prices reached $1,075,000 year-to-date as of November 2025. This represents the more affordable end of Bothell pricing, making Queensborough attractive for buyers seeking value.

Inventory has increased significantly to 101 active listings, creating buyer-friendly conditions. Days on market average 33 days, and homes are selling at approximately 98.7% of list price—indicating that negotiation is possible and multiple-offer situations are rare compared to the pandemic era.

This is an ideal time for value-focused buyers: you can take your time evaluating properties, bring contractors for pre-purchase inspections, negotiate repairs or price reductions, and make informed decisions without feeling rushed. Queensborough rewards buyers who do their homework and recognize quality beneath dated cosmetics.

What You'll Love About Queensborough

Renovation Potential: Many Queensborough homes offer "good bones" beneath dated finishes—solid foundations, real hardwood floors, quality construction—waiting for buyers with vision to unlock their potential through strategic updates.

Entry-Level Pricing: Queensborough provides access to Bothell homeownership at price points $200K-$400K below Canyon Park or Northshore, making it attractive for first-time luxury buyers or families stretching budgets.

I-405 Proximity: Quick freeway access makes commutes to Bellevue, Renton, Seattle, and Everett efficient. You're positioned centrally for regional travel without fighting downtown Bothell traffic.

Established Neighborhoods: Mature trees, quiet streets, and neighbors who've lived here for years create stable community character. Queensborough isn't flashy, but it's genuine and unpretentious.

Larger Lots Than New Construction: Mid-century homes often sit on 7,000-10,000 square foot lots—larger than modern townhome developments—providing yards for kids, pets, and outdoor living.

Investment Opportunity: Savvy buyers who renovate strategically can build significant equity. The investor I worked with consistently achieved 15-22% returns—that's wealth-building potential hidden in dated kitchens and old carpet.

Queensborough offers some of the shortest Eastside commutes thanks to direct I-405 access. You're positioned perfectly for Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, or even Renton/Seattle commutes without the congestion of living directly in these cities.

I don't just sell Bothell real estate—I've lived the transformation of this city over 25+ years. From selling all 240 units at Sonoma Villero as master sales representative (1999-2002) to guiding 52 additional Bothell families through purchases and sales across every neighborhood, my expertise isn't theoretical. It's built on 292 Bothell transactions, countless market cycles, and relationships with clients who trust me enough to come back—and refer their friends and family.

That 80-85% repeat client rate doesn't happen by accident. It happens when you deliver results, communicate clearly, and make what can be a stressful process feel manageable. When over two dozen original Sonoma Villero owners called me years later to sell their homes—and when investors ask me to find their sixth flip property—that's validation that my approach works.

But credentials don't close deals—relationships and results do. What I bring to every Bothell transaction is this: clarity on what your home is worth in the current market (not 2022, not Zillow's algorithm), a marketing strategy that reaches serious buyers, negotiation skills built over hundreds of deals, and the peace of mind that comes from working with someone who's seen every scenario and knows how to navigate it.

Whether you're a tech employee relocating to Canyon Park, a family seeking Northshore School District access, an investor analyzing renovation potential in Queensborough, or a retiree downsizing to a downtown condo—I've done this hundreds of times. I know the questions to ask, the pitfalls to avoid, and how to structure offers that win without overpaying.

Real estate is the largest financial transaction most people make. You deserve someone who treats it that way—with expertise, integrity, and the kind of service that earns repeat clients for 25+ years.
