Sonoma Villero appeals to a diverse range of buyers: first-time homebuyers seeking affordable entry into the Eastside market, young professionals wanting low-maintenance living with amenities, investors looking for rental opportunities with strong tenant demand, and downsizers who want to maintain a high quality of life without the burden of home maintenance.
Why Sonoma Villero Stands Out
In a market where many Eastside condominiums struggle with slow sales or price volatility, Sonoma Villero consistently delivers. Homes here sell an average of 48% faster than in 2023, and buyers regularly compete with multiple offers. The combination of award-winning design, comprehensive amenities, and strategic location creates sustained demand that benefits both buyers and sellers.
Resort-Style Amenities at Sonoma Villero
One of the defining features that earned Sonoma Villero its Master-Planned Community award is the exceptional amenity package that transforms everyday living into a resort-like experience:
Fitness Center
Stay active year-round in the fully-equipped fitness facility, eliminating the need for expensive gym memberships. Cardio equipment, strength training, and dedicated workout space.
Outdoor Pool & Hot Tub
Summer entertaining and year-round relaxation with the heated outdoor pool and bubbling jacuzzi—perfect for Pacific Northwest living. Spacious pool deck with lounge seating.
Dog Park
Pet owners rejoice with the dedicated off-leash dog park, making Sonoma Villero one of the most pet-friendly communities in North Kirkland. Fully fenced with waste stations.
Car Wash Station
Convenient on-site car wash station keeps your vehicle looking sharp without the hassle or expense of commercial car washes. Complete with water hookups and drainage.
Clubhouse
Host gatherings, community events, or private celebrations in the spacious clubhouse with full kitchen facilities. Reservable for residents and their guests.
Professional Landscaping
Maintained grounds, walking paths, and green spaces create a park-like setting without the maintenance burden. HOA handles all exterior upkeep and seasonal plantings.
The Value Proposition
These amenities aren't just nice-to-haves—they're included in your HOA dues (typically $350-$550/month depending on unit type). Compare this to owning a single-family home where you'd pay separately for: gym membership ($50-100/month), pool maintenance ($150-300/month during season), landscaping services ($200-400/month), and you quickly see why Sonoma Villero represents exceptional value for Eastside living.
Understanding Sonoma Villero Floor Plans & Unit Types
Sonoma Villero offers a diverse selection of floor plans designed to accommodate different lifestyles and budgets. Having sold all 240 original units, I can guide you to the perfect layout based on your specific needs:
Condominium Units (Flat-Style Condos)
The condominium buildings feature traditional flat-style units ranging from efficient one-bedroom layouts ideal for first-time buyers and investors, to spacious two-bedroom configurations perfect for couples or small families. These units typically include:
- Open-concept living and dining areas maximizing space efficiency
- Private balconies or patios (location-dependent)
- In-unit washer/dryer hookups or facilities
- Assigned parking (covered and uncovered options)
- Storage units available for purchase or rent
- Square footage: 666-1,199 sqft
- Typical price range: $350K-$600K
Townhome Units (The Medici I & II)
The townhome section, known as "Medici I & II," offers multi-level living with more square footage and a single-family feel. These homes are particularly popular with families and those seeking additional space. Cambridge townhomes typically feature:
- Two to three bedrooms across multiple levels
- Attached garages (single or double-car)
- Private patios or small yards for outdoor living
- Greater storage capacity and functional space
- Some units with vaulted ceilings and upgraded finishes
- Square footage: 1,157-1,209 sqft
- Typical price range: $550K-$680K
Insider Knowledge Matters
Having represented both original sales and dozens of resales, I know which units offer the best natural light, which have been recently renovated, which floor plans live larger than their square footage suggests, and which buildings offer the quietest locations. For example:
- End units with extra windows command 5-10% premiums
- Top-floor units with vaulted ceilings feel significantly more spacious
- Units overlooking green spaces vs. parking lots retain value better
- Specific buildings have undergone plumbing/HVAC upgrades
This insider knowledge can save you thousands in your purchase decision or maximize your sale price by $10,000-$30,000.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sonoma Villero
After 25+ years and hundreds of transactions at Sonoma Villero, these are the questions I'm asked most frequently by buyers and sellers:
What is the HOA fee at Sonoma Villero?
Sonoma Villero HOA fees typically range from $350 to $550 per month depending on unit size and type. Condominium units generally have lower fees than townhomes. The HOA covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, amenities (pool, fitness center, dog park, car wash), water, sewer, garbage, and building insurance. This represents excellent value considering the resort-style amenity package included.
Are pets allowed at Sonoma Villero?
Yes, Sonoma Villero is a pet-friendly community with reasonable restrictions. The HOA typically allows up to two pets per unit with size and breed restrictions outlined in the community bylaws. The dedicated dog park makes this one of the most accommodating pet communities in North Kirkland. I can provide complete pet policy details specific to your unit type.
Can I rent out my Sonoma Villero condo or townhome?
Sonoma Villero allows rentals with specific restrictions designed to maintain community quality. The HOA has minimum lease terms (typically 6-12 months) and may require landlord registration. A percentage of units can be rented at any given time. I can verify current rental restrictions and help investors understand the rental market potential at Sonoma Villero.
What are the property taxes at Sonoma Villero?
Property taxes at Sonoma Villero benefit from Bothell's lower tax rate compared to Kirkland proper. Annual property taxes typically range from $4,000 to $8,000 depending on assessed value, which is approximately 1.0% to 1.2% of the home's market value. This represents a tax savings compared to similar homes with Kirkland addresses.
What school district serves Sonoma Villero?
Sonoma Villero is served by the highly-rated Northshore School District (District 417). Specific school assignments depend on the unit's precise location within the community. Northshore consistently ranks among the top districts in Washington State, making Sonoma Villero attractive to families prioritizing education quality.
How large are the units at Sonoma Villero?
Sonoma Villero units range from approximately 700 square feet for one-bedroom condominiums to over 1,600 square feet for three-bedroom townhomes. The diversity of sizes accommodates first-time buyers, families, and downsizers. I can help you identify which floor plans offer the best value per square foot based on current market conditions.
Is parking included at Sonoma Villero?
Yes, all Sonoma Villero homes include assigned parking. Condominium units typically have one or two assigned spaces (covered or uncovered depending on location), while townhomes feature attached garages. Additional parking passes for guests can be obtained through the HOA. Parking is adequate and well-managed compared to many competing communities.
What makes Sonoma Villero a good investment property?
Sonoma Villero attracts strong tenant demand due to its affordable price point, excellent amenities, and prime Eastside location. Rental rates typically range from $2,000 to $3,500 per month depending on unit size. The combination of rental income potential, lower Bothell property taxes, and historical appreciation makes Sonoma Villero popular with investors. I've helped dozens of investors build wealth through Sonoma Villero rentals.
How is the resale market at Sonoma Villero?
Sonoma Villero enjoys consistent resale activity with homes typically selling within 30-60 days in balanced market conditions. The community's reputation, amenities, and location ensure steady buyer demand. Having tracked resale values since 1999, I can provide detailed market analysis showing appreciation trends and optimal selling strategies.
What are the best units at Sonoma Villero?
The "best" unit depends on your priorities, but certain characteristics command premiums: end units with extra windows and natural light, townhomes with attached garages, units overlooking green spaces rather than parking lots, and top-floor condos with vaulted ceilings. My intimate knowledge of all 240 units helps buyers identify hidden gems that others overlook.
Has Sonoma Villero had any major repairs or special assessments?
Like any 25-year-old community, Sonoma Villero has undertaken routine maintenance projects funded through reserve studies. I maintain complete records of historical assessments and upcoming capital improvements. During my buyer consultations, I review the HOA's financial health, reserve funding, and any planned projects to ensure you understand the community's long-term outlook.
What is the commute time from Sonoma Villero to Seattle or Bellevue?
Sonoma Villero offers convenient access to I-405, making commutes manageable. Expect 25-35 minutes to downtown Bellevue, 30-45 minutes to Seattle, and 15-20 minutes to Redmond tech campuses during typical traffic conditions. The location balances commute convenience with the tranquility of North Kirkland living.
Are Sonoma Villero homes good for first-time buyers?
Absolutely. Sonoma Villero is one of the most popular communities for first-time buyers on the Eastside due to entry-level pricing (starting around $350K), low-maintenance living, included amenities, and strong appreciation potential. I've helped hundreds of first-time buyers build equity through Sonoma Villero homeownership. Many use it as a stepping stone to larger homes while retaining their unit as a rental investment.
What is the difference between Sonoma Villero condos and Cambridge townhomes?
Sonoma Villero consists of traditional flat-style condominiums in multi-story buildings, while "Cambridge" refers to the townhome section featuring multi-level layouts with attached garages. Cambridge townhomes offer more square footage, private patios, and a single-family feel, but come with higher HOA fees and purchase prices. I can help you determine which style better suits your lifestyle and budget.
Why should I hire you as my Sonoma Villero agent?
I was part of the original sales team that sold all 240 units when Sonoma Villero was new construction in 1999-2002, and I've represented dozens of resale transactions since. This means I know every floor plan, HOA quirk, and building characteristic. My competitors list Sonoma Villero homes as just another property—I provide specialized expertise that translates into better pricing, faster sales, and smoother transactions for both buyers and sellers.
