Residential neighborhood at the base of Tiger Mountain
Sheltered in the shadows of Tiger Mountain, Mirrormont is a quiet residential community in King County, surrounded by thick Douglas firs and cedar trees, about 6 miles south of Issaquah. “You get this feeling of being in a state forest. You’re surrounded by tall, majestic trees that are about 50 to 80 years old,” says Realtor Kellie Batali with Windermere Real Estate, who has almost 20 years of experience and lives in the neighborhood. Mirrormont may have a rural makeup, but its community association keeps neighbors close through shared facilities and events.
Washington state parks and neighborhood-specific facilities
Mirrormont is situated along the foothills of Tiger Mountain State Forest. The natural area has over 13,745 acres of land for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and hang gliding. Multiple trails wind up Tiger Mountain, including the South Tiger Powerline Trail, Poo Poo Point Trail and Hidden Forest Trail. “One side of Mirrormont is close to one of the entrances for the park; you can almost walk to it. I’m always going onto Tiger Mountain and doing a hike with my dog,” Batali says. Seattle Paragliding is an extreme sports company that flies from the summit of Poo Poo Point down to the valley below. Additionally, the Squak Mountain State Park Natural Area is about 5 miles northwest with acreage of forests and creeks. Squak Mountain has 13 miles of hiking trails and 6 miles of horse-riding trails.
Sitting at the center of the neighborhood is Mirrormont Park, which has a playground area, walking trails and an open space. The Mirrormont Pea Patch is a community garden with over 30 raised plots, run by volunteers. “We donate hundreds of pounds of fresh produce to the Issaquah and Maple Valley food banks,” says Ian Parker, president of the Mirrormont Community Association. Next door is the Mirrormont Country Club, a separate organization. Its facilities include an outdoor pool, a clubhouse and tennis courts for its members. The country club will host multiple pool parties when the weather is warm, including a Fourth of July party and themed swim nights.

A variety of single-family homes
Properties in Mirrormont are lined along residential country roads, separated by thick forests that create a sense of privacy. “All the houses are surrounded by trees. You can just make out your neighbors through them, or sometimes not at all,” Parker says. Ranch-style homes and raised ranches with traditional mid-century architecture, built in the 1960s, are common. These homes span 2,000 to 3,500 square feet and prices range from $900,000 to $1.2 million. The neighborhood also has traditional multistory homes with cabin-inspired architecture and contemporary mountain homes with wrap-around balconies and picture windows. These houses were built between the 1970s and 1990s and range from 3,100 to 4,600 square feet. Prices sit around $1.1 million to $1.6 million. “Sometimes you go out on your deck in the evenings, and you can hear coyotes and owls, or see deer walking around. You might even spot a bear now and then,” Parker continues. The CAP Index Crime Score in Mirrormont is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Additionally, the MCA keeps new and current members up to date on community projects and neighborhood happenings. “We have a welcome committee – two women will go around to all the new houses that have closed and bring a welcome basket with a bunch of information on the neighborhood,” Batali says.
