Make memorable maritime moments in Talbot Park. This is a coastal community for Seattle buyers looking for luxury living. Spacious homes trace the waterfront development's rising hillside, overlooking the Puget Sound's calm waters. The scenic straits and snow-capped Olympic Mountains are visible from many west-facing windows, where homeowners can watch the sunset from their well-positioned abode. There's a lot to see and do in this waterside respite. Talbot Park is at the northern cusp of the larger Edmonds area, a quirky port town full of independently owned dining and retail hot spots, minutes from these lucky locals.

Homes in Talbot Park are upscale and private, many with trailing drives intersected by gated entries and densely hedged with overhangs of evergreens. The steep uphill terrain also provides protective cover to the lower-set properties. Most listings hover around $1 million here and climb into the 2s and 3s with more square footage and recent renovations. "There's no HOA, which is a huge deal," says Emily Abaga, Realtor at Care Realty. "There's also more room for water toys and boats than you would have in central Seattle neighborhoods." Inventory is limited in this secluded spot, driving a competitive market. Listings typically find new owners within a month, which is comparatively fast in this pricing sector.

Many choose to relocate to this area for its wealth of stellar education options. Kids living in Talbot Park on the public school track can begin learning at Edmonds Elementary before transitioning to Meadowdale Middle and High. Each touts a B score or higher on Niche, and the upper schools are platted side by side, convenient for sibling pickups and drop-offs. Several private school options are nearby for families interested in exploring alternative learning paths.

Much of the draw for Talbot Park buyers is the abundance of natural scenery. These locals live right on top of the Southwest County Park, with looped trails that carve through woodsy terrain. Maple Trees are vibrant in Autumn here, fluttering yellow as mountain bikers brush by dog walkers in the cool shade. If you have kids, they can blow off steam at the Seaview Park playground around the corner. You'll also find pickleball and tennis courts here for games with friends during your free time. Lyndale Park has a designated area for your furry friends, and Stamm Overlook Park is a favorite for sunset views.

While you may feel secluded in your shoreline pad, commercial areas aren't far away. Locals say Fat Pig Barbeque is a hidden gem, serving fall-off-the-bone ribs and namesake meats. Most of the restaurant's business is to-go, an easy stop on the way home for Talbot Park locals. Residents here have their pick of grocers, from Trader Joe's to Fred Meyer and Costco, all within a 5-mile drive away. Each anchors the retail strips lining the nearby interstate, where you'll also find chains like Target and Home Depot. The Alderwood Mall has all your retail brands in a traditional indoor-outdoor layout. Stop at the community's favorite Vietnamese place, Yeh Yeh's, for a bahn mi to fuel up before your shop.

Due 20 miles north of Seattle's city center and a 5-minute ride from the highway, Talbot Park's office commuters have a straightforward ride to work. Edmonds' businesses are 10 minutes away, and you'll find a train station here for long-distance trips. Likewise, the airport is a 20-minute drive in the opposite direction. "There's also infrastructure that allows some commuters to bike to the office," Abaga says. For gracious homes, accessibility and endless amenities, check out Talbot Park.
