Lynnwood Real Estate

The economic hub of south Snohomish County is the city of Lynnwood. Located just 14 miles north of Seattle, Lynnwood residents enjoy easy access to Interstate 5, Interstate 405, and Highway 99. Many arterials leading in and out of the city are also used by Lynnwood residents looking to escape the occasional traffic congestion resulting from rapid growth.

Growth is the focus of the Lynnwood city planners, who are striving to make this community a force to reckon with. Bringing people into the city via major attractions is one way the planners are accomplishing this. The recently-opened Lynnwood Convention Center is a state-of-the-art meeting center with 600 free parking spaces and dining capacity for more than 700. The newly-expanded Alderwood Mall now offers additional shopping, dining, and movie-theater options.

Manufacturers and retailers are happy to set up shop in Lynnwood because of the transportation corridors. Government and education are other employment sources in the area.

But it's not all work for Lynnwood real estate owners. The residential areas of the city are a mix of older neighborhoods and new developments. Away from the business district, the landscape is sprinkled with trees, shrubs, and other greenery. And buying Lynnwood real estate won't break the bank: three-bedroom, two-bath homes start in the mid $200,000's. Lynnwood homes sold, on average, for $322,578 in February 2006.

More than 300 acres of park space is available to Lynnwood residents. In addition, the historic Interurban Trail provides nearly four paved miles for walking, biking, and jogging. The Trail connects to other trails in Everett and Mountlake Terrace for longer outings. And less than 20 minutes from Lynnwood you can find boating, fishing, and other outdoor activities.

With the city's plan for success and its centralized location, Lynnwood is on track to continue to grow and prosper.
