Market
Suburban Neighborhood in Kirkland, Washington
King County 98033
A waterside neighborhood in Kirkland, Market is a breezy popular area. Home to beaches, parks, and beautiful views, this area is desirable for people looking to buy a home on the shores of Lake Washington and is well known for having a strong community, "It's a niche neighborhood; it's a close-knit community," says Max Rombakh, a Managing Broker with Windermere Real Estate/East. "There's a neighborhood email that goes around where people plan parties or if someone needs help finding a lost pet."
Market is a quiet area thanks to the unique aspect of its street layout. says Max. "And there are no cut-through streets. The area is laid out so the streets face toward the water, so there isn't any thru traffic in the area." Homes in the area start at around $2.5 million and top out at around $7 million, generally for properties that are on the water. Properties tend to reflect modern styles, with sleek, clean-lined facades and prominent black-framed windows.
Students in the area are part of Lake Washington School District, which has an A-plus rating on Niche and excellent ratings for its academics, teachers, clubs, activities and college prep. The area's youngest learners begin their academic journey at Alexander Graham Bell Elementary. This A-rated school is also well known for its academic programs and teachers and has a student-teacher ratio of 16 to 1. Students continue at Kirkland Middle School, which has an A rating on Niche and is in the top 10 public middle schools in Washington, according to the site. Students finish their academic journey at Lake Washington High School, which is in the top 25 public high schools in Washington.
For a bite to eat, head to the dining district on Lake Street, located right across from the Kirkland City Dock. There's a bevy of options to choose from, whether you want falafel or an upscale Italian dinner. Falafel Fresh is a local favorite for quick plates of shwarma, kebob and falafel. With mosaic tiles on the counter and a warm grey marble surface on the raised seating on the front window, Falafel Fresh has plenty of character to go with the tasty food. For a fancy night out, locals head to Volterra. With dark wood tables, moody lighting at night, and an espresso machine at the bar, Volterra is a popular spot for dinner and drinks.
Market's shoreline is dotted with popular beaches and parks, and many waterside homes have private docks. Locals love to spend weekends at Waverly Beach Park. With a playground, pier and small beach area, it's a fun spot to swim or hang out on the jungle gym. Nature is a big plus in Market, something you might not expect in such an urban area. Nelson Point offers spectacular views of Lake Washington and a walking path into Juanita Bay Park, a preserve for cranes, songbirds, and local flora and fauna.
With natural privacy created by its street layout, easy access to downtown Kirkland, and miles of shoreline to enjoy, Market has plenty to offer. It's also easy to hop on Market Street and traverse the local area or head to I-405 to gain access to the greater Seattle area, making this area an option worth considering for potential homebuyers looking for their own place on the water.
