Welcome to Esperance, an established suburb on the outskirts of Edmonds that offers both tranquility and convenience. The peaceful, wooded suburbs provide a sense of seclusion while only being minutes from commercial comforts. "The area's central location is one of the biggest perks. Not only will you have an easy commute, but you're also close to beaches, parks and Edmonds' retail and dining," says Realtor Teresa Simanton.
Established homes built in the mid to late 20th century are a primary feature here, including spacious split levels, classic ramblers and two-story minimal traditional homes. Newer multifamily construction is also a perk of the area, with condos and town houses providing contemporary convenience. Prices in the area have a wide range, with condos costing between $300,000 to $400,000, established ramblers and split levels ranging from $600,000 to $900,000 and newly constructed town houses costing between $700,00 and $1 million.
Schools serving families in the community are part of the Edmonds School District, including Chase Lake Elementary School, which earns a B-minus grade from Niche. College Place Middle School has a B and offers the Cougar Learning Lab, which is an after-school homework and tutoring center that uses volunteers from nearby high schools to provide peer support. Edmonds-Woodway High School, rated A-minus on Niche, provides personalized education pathways, including an architectural drafting and design program that's won awards for decades.
Living here puts you just minutes from the pebbled, saltwater shoreline of Puget Sound. Just 3 miles away, you'll find public beaches like Marina Beach Park, where you can take in the water and mountain views while you have a bonfire or sunset stroll. You're also only a mile from Lake Ballinger, where you can fish, boat or swim in the sparkling blue lake. Within the neighborhood, you can enjoy Esperance Park. Encompassing over 10 acres of land, you'll find grassy athletic fields with a paved walking loop, a forested area with wooded trails, a playground with climbing structures and a zipline. The park also has an open off-leash dog area, making this a park everyone in the family can enjoy.
The neighborhood is primarily residential, but you'll find all the daily necessities along the Pacific Highway, like groceries, banks, pharmacies, coffee shops and restaurants. The area is home to a variety of international cuisine; you can get Chinese hotpot at Boiling Point, ramen at Yua Ramen, Korean barbecue at Hosoonyi Restaurant or pho at Than Brothers Restaurant. By looking at just a sample of restaurants located on one block, you'll always have options when you don't want to cook.
The central location is also close to attractions like Alderwood, a regional shopping mall; and the charming community of Downtown Edmonds, so dining and retail are always within reach.
Proximity to the Pacific Highway and Interstate 5 makes commuting to work or traveling for entertainment easy. You're less than 15 miles from Seattle, Everett and Bellevue.
