Rural subdivision on the outskirts of Renton
Maple Hills is a subdivision sitting at the edge of East Renton Highlands, surrounded by thick forest, giving the small community a rural feel despite its residential makeup. The neighborhood has both recreational facilities and annual events, serviced by the Maple Hills Maintenance Co Association. “It’s a fairly tight-knit neighborhood, where everyone is pretty generous,” says Realtor Bill Grover with Windermere Real Estate, who has over 20 years of experience and owns property in the neighborhood. “It’s a unique neighborhood, being able to have its own park.”
A variety of single-family homes
Properties in Maple Hills are lined along residential roads and separated by tall Douglas firs and ponderosa trees, lending to a sense of privacy among neighbors. “There’s a mixture of homes that are fairly large. They’re generally on the older side with bigger lots, though there are a few new ones in there,” Grover says. Some homes are as old as the 1960s, while others were built as recently as the 2000s. Ranch-style homes with vinyl exteriors are common. These homes span 1,100 to 1,500 square feet and cost $625,000 to $800,000. There are also raised ranches that tend to sit on a hill, some with a balcony on the top level. Most of these properties go for $875,000 to $1.5 million. Traditional multi-story homes also dot Maple Hills, spanning 2,500 to 3,500 square feet and priced between $850,000 and $1.6 million. The CAP Index crime score for Maple Hills is a 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
