Woodinville Homes for Sale: Acreage Estates, Established Neighborhoods & Downtown Condos
Woodinville is a city in King County, Washington, at the north end of the Sammamish River valley, and its mailing addresses, in ZIP codes 98072 and 98077, reach well beyond the city itself. This guide covers nine neighborhoods with Woodinville addresses: Hollywood Hill, Downtown Woodinville, Wellington, East Woodinville, Cottage Lake, Saybrook, Tuscany, Lake of the Woods and Bear Creek.
The first question for any Woodinville home is jurisdiction. Downtown, Wellington and much of East Woodinville are inside city limits, where City of Woodinville zoning and permits apply. Hollywood Hill, Cottage Lake, Saybrook, Tuscany and Bear Creek lie mostly in unincorporated King County, where county zoning, septic rules and livestock standards apply even though the mailing address says Woodinville.
Each section below is a short overview with a link to the neighborhood’s full guide where one is published. For the acreage east of the river, start with the Hollywood Hill guide; for the rest of the region, see Eastside Homes for Sale.

Hollywood Hill: Acreage Lots East of the Sammamish River
Learn More About Hollywood Hill →
Hollywood Hill in Woodinville is a hillside of acreage lots east of the Sammamish River, with a Woodinville, WA 98072 mailing address. Most recorded sales are on parcels of about a half-acre to two and a half acres, with a few larger holdings of up to about five acres.
The housing stock dates largely from the 1970s and 1980s. Since 2022 a second group of newly built homes on lots of about one acre has been added, including the subdivision marketed as The Vintage on Hollywood Hill. NE 145th Street, State Route 202, meets the foot of the hill, and the unpaved Tolt Pipeline Trail, open to hikers, cyclists and horseback riders, crosses it.
What to Know Before Buying in Hollywood Hill
Most of Hollywood Hill lies in unincorporated King County, so county zoning, typically a Rural Area (RA) zone, and county permitting apply. Sewer does not reach every parcel: many homes use septic systems and some use private wells. Ask for septic records, confirm the water source, and check slopes and wetlands on King County’s parcel maps before relying on the listed acreage.
Downtown Woodinville: Condominiums, Townhomes and the River Trail
Downtown Woodinville is the city’s commercial center around NE 175th Street, inside Woodinville city limits, and it holds most of the city’s condominiums and townhomes alongside some single-family homes.
Condominium sales here can shift sharply from one year to the next as units in new buildings close, so a change in the median sale price often reflects which buildings sold rather than a change in value. The paved Sammamish River Trail runs along the river beside downtown and continues south past the winery district on NE 145th Street toward Marymoor Park in Redmond.
What to Know Before Buying in Downtown Woodinville
Downtown property falls under City of Woodinville zoning and permitting. For a condominium or townhome, review the association’s resale certificate, budget, reserve study, rental and pet rules, and any pending special assessments. For new construction, ask what the builder’s warranty covers and when control of the association passes from the developer to the owners.
Wellington: East and West Wellington Inside City Limits
Wellington in Woodinville covers East Wellington and West Wellington, two of the neighborhood areas the City of Woodinville identifies inside its limits. The housing is predominantly single-family homes in residential subdivisions.
Because Wellington is inside city limits, it differs from Hollywood Hill and Cottage Lake: City of Woodinville rules, not King County’s, govern its zoning and permits. A full Wellington guide with NWMLS sold data is in progress.
What to Know Before Buying in Wellington
Confirm which homeowners association, if any, covers the address and read its covenants, since rules can differ from one subdivision to the next. Check the school assignment with Northshore School District’s address lookup, and confirm sewer and water service with the utility serving the parcel.
East Woodinville: Established Neighborhoods East of Downtown
East Woodinville refers to the residential neighborhoods east of downtown Woodinville. The City describes its eastern boundary as 170th Avenue NE and the Sammamish River, so many of these addresses sit inside city limits, while those farther east are in unincorporated King County with the same Woodinville mailing address.
The housing is predominantly single-family homes. State Route 522 and State Route 202 meet near downtown, connecting these neighborhoods to Bothell and Seattle to the west and to Redmond to the south.
What to Know Before Buying in East Woodinville
Start by confirming whether the parcel is inside city limits or in unincorporated King County, because that decides which zoning code, permit office and utility rules apply. Then check whether the home is on sewer or septic, confirm the school assignment by address, and read any homeowners association covenants.
Cottage Lake: Lakefront and Wooded Lots in Unincorporated King County
Cottage Lake is a lake community in unincorporated King County east of Woodinville city limits, with Woodinville mailing addresses. The lake covers about 63 acres, and King County Ordinance 4966, adopted in 1980, prohibits internal combustion engines on it.
Cottage Lake Park, a King County park, sits on the lake. Homes range from lakefront lots on the water to wooded lots set back from the shore.
What to Know Before Buying in Cottage Lake
King County zoning, permitting and livestock standards (King County Code chapter 21A.30) apply. For a lakefront parcel, confirm the King County shoreline rules before planning a dock, bulkhead or addition. Check whether the home is on sewer or septic, ask for septic records, and review critical areas on King County’s parcel maps.
Bear Creek: Acreage Along the Redmond–Woodinville Line
Bear Creek Country Club Homes →
Bear Creek straddles the Redmond–Woodinville border along Avondale Road NE, and its addresses fall under Redmond or Woodinville depending on the parcel. Recorded sales range from about a half-acre to more than 8 acres, with homes from 1940s farmhouses to houses built in the early 2000s. Bear Creek Country Club, a membership golf club, is in the area but separate from the neighborhood.
What to Know Before Buying in Bear Creek
Confirm the jurisdiction and school district for the exact parcel; properties inside Redmond city limits are served by Lake Washington School District. Zoning in parts of Bear Creek allows horse-keeping, but confirm the rules for the specific parcel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Woodinville Real Estate
Answers about jurisdiction, land, utilities and schools for Woodinville addresses. For parcel-level detail, see King County iMap and Parcel Viewer and King County zoning.
Where is Hollywood Hill in Woodinville?
Hollywood Hill is a hillside of acreage lots east of the Sammamish River with a Woodinville, WA 98072 mailing address. Most of it lies outside Woodinville city limits in unincorporated King County, so King County handles zoning and building permits, typically under one of its Rural Area (RA) zones. NE 145th Street, State Route 202, meets the foot of the hill, and the unpaved Tolt Pipeline Trail crosses it.
Where is Woodinville’s winery district?
Woodinville’s winery district sits along NE 145th Street at the City’s south edge, near the Sammamish River. Downtown Woodinville is farther north, around NE 175th Street, so the winery district and downtown are separate areas.
Can you reach the winery district from downtown Woodinville by trail?
Yes. The paved Sammamish River Trail follows the river valley between Bothell and Marymoor Park in Redmond. It runs beside downtown Woodinville and passes near the winery district on NE 145th Street, so walkers and cyclists can travel between the two on the trail.
Which Woodinville neighborhoods are inside city limits?
The City of Woodinville describes its eastern boundary as 170th Avenue NE and the Sammamish River. Inside city limits, the City identifies neighborhood areas including West Wellington, East Wellington, Wedge, Woodinville Heights, Reinwood/Leota, Lower and Upper West Ridge and North Industrial, along with downtown. Hollywood Hill, Cottage Lake, Saybrook, Tuscany and Bear Creek lie mostly outside city limits in unincorporated King County, even though they use Woodinville mailing addresses.
Is Cottage Lake inside Woodinville city limits?
No. Cottage Lake is in unincorporated King County, east of Woodinville city limits, and homes there use Woodinville mailing addresses. King County zoning, permitting and code apply. The lake covers about 63 acres, and King County Ordinance 4966 (1980) prohibits internal combustion engines on it.
What roads connect Woodinville to Redmond and Bellevue?
State Route 202, which follows Woodinville-Redmond Road NE, runs south from Woodinville toward Redmond. State Route 522 runs through Woodinville and connects to Interstate 405 to the west, which continues south to Bellevue. Avondale Road NE links the Bear Creek area to Redmond. Travel times vary by route and time of day.
What roads connect Woodinville to Seattle?
State Route 522 runs southwest from Woodinville through Bothell, Kenmore and Lake Forest Park into Seattle, where it continues as Lake City Way NE to Interstate 5. Interstate 405, reached from State Route 522, is the other main route.
What do homes in Woodinville sell for?
Sold prices vary widely by neighborhood, home age and lot size, so a single citywide figure says little about a specific home. The comparison table on this page shows the NWMLS figures published on each neighborhood guide, with the year and the number of sales. Hollywood Hill and Bear Creek figures are available now, and other neighborhoods are added as their guides are published.
Can you keep horses on a Woodinville property?
It depends on the parcel. In unincorporated King County, including Hollywood Hill, Cottage Lake and parts of Bear Creek, King County Code chapter 21A.30 sets the standards for keeping horses and other livestock, and the parcel’s zoning and size determine what it allows. Inside city limits, City of Woodinville code applies. Confirm the rules for the specific parcel before buying.
Does Woodinville have lakefront homes?
Yes. Cottage Lake, a lake of about 63 acres in unincorporated King County east of Woodinville city limits, has lakefront and wooded lots and a King County park, Cottage Lake Park. King County Ordinance 4966 prohibits internal combustion engines on the lake.
Which school district serves a Woodinville address?
Most Woodinville addresses are served by Northshore School District. Some, including the Tuscany and Lake of the Woods communities and parcels inside Redmond city limits, are served by Lake Washington School District. Assignment is based on the home address and boundaries can change, so check the address with the district’s lookup tool before buying.
Are Woodinville homes on sewer or septic?
It varies by parcel. Sewer does not reach every property in the unincorporated areas around Woodinville: many homes on Hollywood Hill use on-site septic systems and some use private wells. King County Public Health keeps on-site sewage system records. Inside city limits, confirm sewer and water service with the utility serving the address.
How is land zoned outside Woodinville city limits?
Outside city limits, King County zoning applies. On Hollywood Hill this is typically one of the County’s Rural Area (RA) zones. Zoning is set parcel by parcel, so check the parcel’s zone on King County’s zoning map before planning an addition, a new building or a lot division.
How can I check a specific Woodinville parcel?
King County’s iMap and Parcel Viewer show a parcel’s boundaries, zoning and assessor details for addresses throughout the county, including Woodinville and the unincorporated areas around it. Usable area can differ from total acreage because of slopes, wetlands and other critical areas, so review the parcel before relying on its listed lot size.
