Expanding real estate and midcentury influence at lower prices than Seattle

Residential streets are tightly packed, with smaller homes on lots of about 7,000 square feet on average. Parkwood features New Traditional, contemporary and ranch-style houses with midcentury influence. Single-family prices range from about $600,000 to $1.3 million for houses over 2,000 square feet.
