Abundance in North Creek, a flourishing Seattle suburb

North Creek is one of those communities that has flourished along the perimeter of one of the nation's, if not the world’s, most influential technology and software hubs. Waxing in the glow of Amazon, Microsoft and other prosperous tech companies here, the community enjoys a top-tier lifestyle with an abundance of comforts and convenience. “There are a lot of amenities,” says Chandra Vennapusa, a Realtor with eXp Realty, who sells homes in the Seattle suburb. “Pretty much everything is within 5 to 10 minutes.”

More new homes and larger homes are found in North Creek

North Creek brims with the fragrance of newness. Many of the homes are new construction and recent builds. Modern houses track tree-adorned streets with walkways on both sides of the roads. Well-landscaped homes dovetail neatly into an array of neighborhood parks in most communities. To be sure, there are some older homes as well. But increasingly, builders are replacing them with new homes, generally larger than the ones that preceded them, with virtually none smaller than 2,500 square feet. “What that means is that you have neighborhoods that look very contemporary and modern. So, it adds to the value of the neighborhood. And, of course, it means less maintenance in the homes themselves,” Vennapusa says.


Homebuyers can expect to invest premium dollars to live in North Creek. The median price for a single-family home is $1.3 million. Generally, you’d be hard-pressed to find one that sells for much less than $800,000, and luxury homes $2 million and beyond aren’t uncommon around here.

Well-regarded schools in the Northshore School District

The schools around here are uncommonly good. Northshore School District, which Niche rates A-plus, serves the community. Students attend A-rated Maywood Hills Elementary School, Leota Middle School, also rated A and Bothell High School, which Niche rates A-minus. The schools place their stamp on the community with parents who send their kids to school here, including Vennapusa. “I think the teachers are exceptional. The curriculum is exceptional. The kids are very well-behaved. And it’s not just academics. They have a very good sports curriculum too,” says Vennapusa, whose eight and 13-year-olds attend school in the district.

Community and school activities bring neighbors together

Marked by friendly smiles and personal connections, North Creek’s neighbors intentionally put their best foot forward when it comes to community engagement, much of which is organized around school activities and neighborhood associations. “There are many community events, and the schools organize a lot of them. The non-profit associations here organize a lot of community events too,” Vennapusa adds.

North Creek has some community parks and trails

While many of the local communities have green spaces of their own, North Creek still maintains a few parks for the community at large. Miner’s Corner is one of the popular local parks, with its basketball court, playground and trails for hikers.

Diverse restaurants and various options for groceries

North Creek is home to a wealth of ethnic restaurants serving a diverse variety of foods. There are so many in fact, you can try a different one every day of the week. You might want to start at Bamboo House, a Vietnamese restaurant on Bothell Everett Highway that specializes in pho.

For home cooking, you can stock up at any of the supermarkets nearby, like Safeway and Fred Meyer, which sells food and sundry other goods. Oh, and there’s a Costco about 10 minutes away if you’re in need of a big box store experience, not to mention a host of popular retail stores just down Highway 522 in Woodinville.

Interstates 5 and 405 access and a light rail extension

Speaking of Highway 522, it will get you over to I-5 and into Seattle. I-405 will take you down to Bellevue, passing Microsoft in Redmond along the way. A new light rail extension under construction will give North Creek another option to easily get in and out of town.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
