Suburban Neighborhood in Edmonds, Washington
Snohomish County 98026
Neighborhood Reviews
Welcome to Esperance, an established suburb on the outskirts of Edmonds that offers both tranquility and convenience. The peaceful, wooded suburbs provide a sense of seclusion while only being minutes from commercial comforts. "The area's central location is one of the biggest perks. Not only will you have an easy commute, but you're also close to beaches, parks and Edmonds' retail and dining," says Realtor Teresa Simanton.
Established homes built in the mid to late 20th century are a primary feature here, including spacious split levels, classic ramblers and two-story minimal traditional homes. Newer multifamily construction is also a perk of the area, with condos and town houses providing contemporary convenience. Prices in the area have a wide range, with condos costing between $300,000 to $400,000, established ramblers and split levels ranging from $600,000 to $900,000 and newly constructed town houses costing between $700,00 and $1 million.
Schools serving families in the community are part of the Edmonds School District, including Chase Lake Elementary School. Rated an overall score of B on Niche, the school offers digital tools to students to help them succeed, like online learning opportunities and tutoring. College Place Middle School also has an overall rating of B on Niche. The school is known for its Cougar Learning Lab--an after-school homework and tutoring center that uses volunteers from nearby high schools to provide peer support. Edmonds Woodway High School is the area's best academic institution, scoring above average for test scores and college readiness on Great Schools and an overall A-minus on Niche. The school offers personalized education pathways, including an architectural drafting and design program that's won top awards for the past 50 years.
Living here puts you just minutes from the pebbled, saltwater shoreline of Puget Sound. Just three miles away, you'll find public beaches like Marina Beach Park, where you can take in the water and mountain views while you have a bonfire or sunset stroll. You're also only a mile from Lake Ballinger, where you can fish, boat or swim in the sparkling blue lake. Within the neighborhood, you can enjoy Esperance Park. Encompassing over ten acres of land, you'll find grassy athletic fields with a paved walking loop, a forested area with wooded trails, a playground with climbing structures and a zipline. The park also has an open off-leash dog area, making this a park everyone in the family can enjoy.
Bordered by Pacific Highway and less than a mile from I-5, commuting to work or traveling for entertainment is always accessible. You're less than 15 miles from Seattle, Everett and Bellevue. Even more, you're in a central location close to attractions like the Alderwood Shopping Center or the charming community of Downtown Edmonds, so dining and retail are always within reach. The neighborhood is primarily residential, but you'll find all the daily necessities along Pacific Highway, like groceries, banks, pharmacies, coffee shops and restaurants. Home to a variety of international cuisine, you can get Chinese hotpot at Boiling Point, ramen at Yua Ramen, Korean barbecue at Hosoonyi Restaurant or pho at Than Brothers Restaurant. By looking at just a sample of restaurants located on one block, you'll always have options when you don't want to cook.
Offering a variety of established homes, an amenity-rich green space and a prime location that offers proximity to work, retail and entertainment, Esperance's blend of comfort and convenience makes it an excellent place to call home.

Niche Review
The general area is really nice--quiet and kind. However there has been a lot of very noisy development which lowers the momentary quality of life.
