On the Sammamish River
A suburb of the City of Kenmore, Moorlands is a tranquil neighborhood with a northern boundary on the banks of the Sammamish River. The area is 16 miles north of downtown Seattle and 4 miles west of Bothell. Homes are tucked away on rolling hills, where residents can see the Cascade Mountains on a clear day. Some estates sit on the river’s edge, many with boat docks. "This community is centrally located to all amenities," says Realtor Sunny Elston with Windermere Real Estate, who has lived in and represented the area for 18 years. Locals have easy access to Interstate 5 and U.S. Route 522, which leads to Interstate 405.
Lots of new construction
There are developments that draw upon Pacific Northwest contemporary styles with stone finishes and paved walkways lined with spruce, maple and cherry trees. Moorlands homes are competitively priced, ranging from $576,000 to $2.1 million. A two-bedroom condo costs around $600,000, while three-bedroom homes cost around $1 million. An established neighborhood dating back to the 50s, Moorlands comprises split levels, ramblers and new construction, all with garages. Streets are narrow and do not have sidewalks. Private yard sizes range from 1/3 of an acre to 2.5 acres. "We're seeing a lot of new construction," Elston says. "Old farmhouses are being torn down and two to four homes are erected in its space."
High school offers Cambridge program
Students can walk or bike to Arrowhead Elementary School, which shares an A Niche grade with Finn Hill Middle School. Juanita High School, which has an A-minus, offers the Cambridge Assessment International Education, the world's largest provider of international education programs. The syllabi are global in outlook, enabling students to be exposed to and interact with a variety of issues and perspectives.
So close to nature
Living in western Washington puts residents close to nature. "In this area, you'll find the nesting grounds of blue herons and eagles," Elston says. A 2-mile drive via local streets takes locals to St. Edward State Park, a nearly 400-acre park on the grounds of a former seminary. The space has miles of well-maintained trails that meander throughout the grounds. There is a picnic area in the old orchard, surrounded by fragrant fruit trees, and a nearby kids' play area. With four acres of open space and athletic fields, Moorlands Park, located next to Moorlands Elementary, offers walking paths, a children's play area and a picnic shelter. Rhododendron Park is a partially wooded park on the edge of the Sammamish River. Here, a local can launch a kayak onto the river or join a morning practice with the Kenmore Community Rowing Club. Rhododendron also offers short walking and biking paths that lead to the river.
Hobbies and dining
For art-inclined residents, the Dahl Arts Ceramic Studio has regular classes, workshops and open studio hours. Locals can get their groceries at Safeway. Nearby, Taking Root Nursery is a community plant care store offering a curated selection of flowers and shrubs. There are several established dining options in and around Moorelands. At The Lodge at St. Edwards, locals can enjoy an upscale meal at Cedar + Elm, where reservations are required, or grab a drink at Father Mulligan's Heritage Bar. Another nearby favorite is The Guest House, a restaurant featuring farm-fresh ingredients and a seasonal menu.
Easy access to freeways
Public transit is provided by Metro Transit (bus), and there are 14 stops in Moorlands; however, most residents rely on their cars to get around. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is a 28-mile drive via I-405 South or I-5 South.
