Lakeside homes on rolling hills
Kirkland's Finn Hill neighborhood is a hillside paradise of beautiful views and stunning homes. Just 30 minutes from Seattle, the homes of this suburban neighborhood sell fast despite their high price point. The area is highly residential, with many developments. Still, local shops and gems hide among the trees and rolling hills of town. “It’s an established neighborhood with winding streets and cul-de-sacs,” says Max Rombahk, managing broker of Windermere Real Estate/East, Inc., who has sold 15 homes in the area. “It’s and easy place for kids to ride bikes, and the schools are excellent”.

Architecture from every decade
Because of continual growth in the neighborhood, housing styles from every decade are spread out beneath the canopies of spruce and fir trees in Finn Hill. Ample new construction takes place to accommodate the growing number of residents in the area, and one can purchase these homes for around $1.3 million. Sprawling ranches, picturesque new traditional builds, and even postmodern mansions can be found on the neighborhood's hills, often accompanied by a stunning view of Lake Washington. Residents take advantage of larger plots with expansive balconies, in-ground pools, gardens and private tennis courts, and manicured lawns with pristine landscaping are the norm. Bikers, joggers, and dog walkers can appreciate the elaborate and colorful landscape from the sidewalks of this very active neighborhood. “Homes in Finn Hill are more affordable than in neighborhoods closer to Downtown Kirkland,” Rombahk says. While some older homes sell for $900,000, many spacious lakeside properties can reach over $3 million, as compared to the $5 million price tags that accompany the neighboring communities.
In Finn Hill, homes are tucked away underneath massive cypress and evergreen trees.

Picturesque lookouts and a natural salmon ladder
With its rolling hills and towering trees, it's no surprise that a few coveted public parks within the neighborhood offer plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy the natural wonders of Western Washington. Big Finn Hill Park is a wooded sports complex with soccer and baseball fields, a mid-sized playground and an open area perfect for a picnic. The 220-acre park has ample hiking trails, splitting off through the woods and leading to beautiful lookout spots for photo opportunities. Bordering Lake Washington, O.O. Denny Park stretches from the shore towards the residential clusters at the neighborhood's center. Moss-covered cedars, tree ferns and blackberry bushes can be spotted along the 46 lakeside acres of the park, and locals can launch a kayak, watch the sunset, or use one of the parks charcoal grills along the pebbled shore. By traveling inland, residents can find a restored salmon ladder. The ladder along O.O. Denny Creek allows the opportunity to watch salmon complete their journey to their spawning grounds.

Carl Sandburg Elementary is one of the main schools in Finn Hill.
Competitive and highly-ranked schools
Many families in the area send their children to private schools, but there are also some highly-rated public schools in town. Carl Sandburg Elementary School receives an A rating from Niche.com.

Seattle and Kirkland are a short drive away
With proximity to commercial hubs of Juanita Village and Totem Lake, as well as downtown Seattle, Finn Hill is a wonderful choice for commuters. Because of minimal transit options and low walkability, residents are car-dependent. The Seattle-Tacoma Airport is an hour south and serves as a central airline hub for the West Coast.
