Carnation Real Estate

About 23 miles east of Seattle is the King County community of Carnation. Although rural in its roots, Carnation provides a more upscale version of country living. And the population of Carnation – currently just under 2,000 – is growing rapidly.

The Riverview School District, which serves Carnation and the surrounding communities, has about 3,000 students and is one of the fastest growing districts in the state. Nearly one in five Carnation homes have been built within the last six years. And the Carnation real estate market is extremely active.

Buying Carnation real estate will cost you. Beautiful, three-bedroom, lake front homes run $600,000 or more. Custom homes are often built on half-acre lots with commanding views of the surrounding landscape. However, smaller properties are available. In February 2006, the average Carnation home sold for $512,316.

Many Bellevue and Redmond professionals choose to buy Carnation real estate because the commute is manageable and the setting is more peaceful than urbanized developments. Many of the residents know each other by name!

Carnation has many historical landmarks and natural attractions, which add to the city's appeal. The Snoqualmie Valley Trail is here, along with the Tolt River-John MacDonald Park. The rich soil of Carnation has kept many well-known farms in business for decades. Family owned and operated Remlinger Farms is one example.

Remlinger Farms began as a produce stand over 30 years ago and has grown into a 200-acre Carnation destination offering a full service restaurant, bakery, picnic facilities, U-Pick produce fields, and much more. Educational tours, such as grade school trips to the Farms' pumpkin patch, are annual favorites.
