Tucked-away city with convenience on Lake Washington
With a population of about 17,000, Bryn Mawr-Skyway is one of Washington's most diverse suburban cities. In the mid-1900s, it was an affordable housing sector for World War II veterans. Today, it is near top industries, including local healthcare facilities and a Boeing factory in nearby Renton. "Bryn Mawr-Skyway is cheaper because it hasn't been discovered yet," says Vladimir Grigoriev, an area local and Realtor at eXp Realty Whitman. "It's coveted and hidden away from noisy areas, and it has great proximity to the lake, brand new restaurants and shopping."
Beautiful townhomes can be found in Bryn Mawr-Skyway.

Contemporary subdivisions and large property sizes
The city's architectural stock comprises newer contemporary and ranch-style homes from the 1950s. Many 2020s contemporary builds are in the Skyway Village subdivision, with properties reaching 3,000 square feet. Other high-value properties are farther north with boat ramps on Lake Washington. The median single-family price is $700,000. While higher than the nationwide median, this area has lower-priced properties compared to those in Seattle. "It's a way quieter area, with great proximity if you work in Renton or are an engineer at Boeing," Grigoriev says.
