Cottage Lake, WA Homes for Rent

Set 21 miles from Seattle, woodsy Cottage Lake offers large lots, top-rated schools and lakeside recreation in Woodinville wine country. “It has a rural feeling, but without feeling secluded,” says Sydney Groen, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty NCW who’s sold homes in the area for nine years. The wineries and tasting rooms in nearby Woodinville attract tourists to the area, but Cottage Lake remains a close community that gathers for concerts by the lake. People always wave when you drive by,” Groen says. “It’s a big mix of retirees, people still working and families with young kids.” Many of its nearly 23,000 residents work tech jobs in Redmond, Bothell and Bellevue. Cottage Lake's median home sale price is around $1.5 million, compared to Woodinville's $1.4 million and the nation's roughly $410,000. Homes here sell faster than average, typically lasting only 17 days on the market. Cottage Lake's winding roads and wooded lots give the homes here a sense of rural seclusion, though some neighborhoods, like English Hill , have a more suburban character. "The neighborhoods have a lot of cul-de-sacs and dead-end roads, so there's not a lot of through traffic or traffic noise," Groen
