Views and amenities galore

Located 15 miles east of Seattle, Grass Lawn is a lushly wooded and peaceful suburb conveniently located near highways, the scenic Sammamish River and shopping and dining. “This is a great community,” says Skyline Properties broker Zeina Chalak, a 15-year veteran who has sold five homes in the area. “It’s so close to everything.” This mature neighborhood offers stunning views of Sammamish Valley and the Cascades Mountains and boasts a high walkability factor. “It is a highly desirable area,” Chalak says.

Luxury living

Yards are on the smaller side, about 1/8 of an acre, and most homes have garages. There are also condo developments with amenities like private garages and luxury appliances. Prices range from $490,000 to $3.5 million. For $558,000, a buyer can get a 1,308-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath condo. For $3.5 million, a buyer can get a 4,264-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath new construction home on a 9,775-square-foot lot.

I've seen emergency response vehicles from time to time, but nothing compared to places I've lived in the past. Not usually anything going on around here that I'm worried about.
