Woodinville Real Estate, Check It Out
If you are looking for a place that offers small town friendliness, close to big city amenities, and a wide variety of employment and educational opportunities then you must consider Woodinville, Washington. The city is named after Ira and Susan Woodin, the first permanent settlers, who homesteaded 160 acres in 1871 along what is now called the Sammamish River.
The City of Woodinville is situated adjacent to the City of Redmond, home of the sprawling Microsoft campus and is minutes from Seattle.
Woodinville real estate includes both properties incorporated into the town, and unincorporated areas situated in King County. King County is home to some of the strongest companies and employers in the USA. Though definitely a high tech hub, in King County you'll find a wide variety of businesses headquartered or with a major presence here in addition to Microsoft.
These companies include Amazon, Boeing, Costco, and Starbucks to name a few. The semirural nature of Woodinville real estate allows for some peace and quiet on the outskirts of the major activities of King County and the greater Puget Sound area.
Woodinville real estate is located in the highly rated Northshore School District where 80% of the high school graduates enroll in colleges and universities. There are also many scenic parks and wonderful recreational opportunities in addition being located near the base of the Cascade Mountain Range.
The variety of Woodinville real estate options are spread out over 32 different communities from the downtown condos near public transit. In the unincorporated areas, you will find larger properties, gated estates, some catering to those with a desire for horses. There are also partially developed acreage properties, like the 18 acre wildlife sanctuary developed by a world famous landscaper containing two private lakes I recently listed and sold.
If you wish to enhance the landscaping of your Woodinville real estate, landscaping outlets abound in this very garden-conscious part of the country. A major gardening supply center not to be missed is the famous Molbak's nursery.
While the Woodinville real estate area has many restaurants and fine dining choices it is noted as home to one of the top rated restaurants in the USA, the Herbfarm, nestled into the winery district. You can take a free tour of the bottling facilities at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery which also hosts a summer concert series.
To me the most important Woodinville real estate amenities, in addition to privacy and quiet, are clean air (you've got to love the trees everywhere), and the fine drinking water supplied by Woodinville Water District.
And the really good news: Woodinville real estate is very reasonably priced. You really should check it out.
