Bothell Real Estate

“Stay for a day or a lifetime,” is the motto adopted by Bothell city officials. And a welcome sign with the same slogan greets visitors as they enter this area. Bothell is located 12 miles northeast of Seattle, along the north end of Lake Washington. Home to more than 30,000 residents, the highly respected Northshore School District is a significant reason why families buy Bothell real estate.

Once a rural community isolated from modern living, Bothell is now a thriving residential and commercial hub, connected to outlying communities by a sophisticated freeway and highway system. Relatively easy access to Interstate 5, Interstate 405, Highway 522, and Highway 520 transports Bothell residents to Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, or Lynnwood – usually in a half hour or less.

A well-developed parks and recreation system caters to the culture in Bothell. Of note is the Park at Bothell Landing. Situated along the Sammamish River, the Park is a favorite resting place for bicyclists and walkers using the adjacent Sammamish River Trail. The Park's amphitheater is a focal point for community events and a popular rental for Weddings and other private functions.

Distinct neighborhoods with their own shopping centers are scattered about the Bothell countryside. Canyon Park has many well built homes from the 1970s. View townhouses intermingled with large waterfront homes can be found along the Sammamish Slough. And new construction in the Thrasher's Corner area is quickly being built as former farmland is developed.

Housing prices for Bothell real estate vary widely. Million dollar estates, although not common, are available. The average sales price of a home in Bothell in February 2006 was $636,876. Yet, shoppers of Bothell real estate will be pleased to know that a nice home in a quality neighborhood can also be found in the mid to upper $300,000's.
