Lake Stevens homes offer more than a person could ever need and everything they could want. Surrounding beautiful Lake Stevens (after which the town is aptly named) and located directly east of bustling Everett, Lake Stevens homes allow residents to escape to beauty while still being within minutes of big city jobs and amenities.
Though not recognized as a city until 1960, Lake Stevens was first settled in the late 1800's. Thus, Lake Stevens homes range widely in age. Charming Victorian classics can be found from the town's early history, while many Lake Stevens homes are under construction as this article is written. Since the population has grown rapidly in the last decade, buyers have a plethora of choices when looking for new Lake Stevens homes. (Note: While the population has technically doubled since 2000, this is largely due to the city's annexation of several hundred acres of formerly county land.) As a result of the city's growth and fascinating history, one city block may include houses from 1900, 1975, and 2007.
Lake Stevens homes range just as widely in price as they do in age. Enormous houses constructed right on the lake's waterfront or on a hill with magnificent city views may cost over a million dollars, while other Lake Stevens homes just blocks away may be priced in the mid-$200,000's. This mixture bodes well for Lake Stevens neighborhoods. Those of different economic statuses are not separated by miles, as in other towns. Instead, homes (and residents) of every sort may be found in one, small community, fostering the town's friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
At only two and a half square miles, Lake Stevens largely revolves around the lake itself, physically and otherwise. Therefore, most Lake Stevens homes are constructed within just a half a mile of the waterfront. Many southern and western Lake Stevens homes are literally two minutes from the City of Everett, perfect for those commuting to one of the many job nearby.
No matter where the adults work, Lake Stevens homes are perfect for raising children. Even the most affordable homes typically have three or more bedrooms, and the few Lake Stevens home have small yards are within close proximity to one of the city's many parks (or, of course, the lake). Citizens are four years younger than the state average (31 compared to 35), and 67% of its residents are married (an abnormally high rate for a town its size). These qualities result in a town filled with young people, and many sports, arts, and other recreational activities to accommodate them.
Overall, Lake Stevens homes are excellent places to live no matter what your situation. To learn more about Lake Stevens Real Estate, contact the Home4Investment real estate team today!
