Homes by the marina
When strolling down to the marina, there are no sidewalks, but neighborhood roads are quiet. Cul-de-sacs gently wind further inland. “A lot of people purchase here so they can keep their boat in the Skyline marina,” says Shalyce Pocock, broker with John L. Scoff Real Estate and fourth-generation Skagit County resident. “There is a separate fee to dock in the marina, but some homes include slips as a package deal.” Contemporary coastal builds and ranch-styles overlooking Burrows Bay have large windows and decks perfect for sunset viewing. Prices range from $650,000 for about 1,500 square foot home to $1.4 million for about double the square footage. Condos and manufactured homes also available.
