Market offers a warm community and Lake Washington views in Kirkland
A waterside neighborhood in Kirkland, Market is a breezy, popular area. Home to beaches, parks, and beautiful views, this area is desirable for people looking to buy a home on the shores of Lake Washington and is well known for having a strong community. "It's a niche neighborhood; it's a close-knit community," says Max Rombakh, a Managing Broker with Windermere Real Estate/East. "There's a neighborhood email that goes around where people plan parties or if someone needs help finding a lost pet."
Market’s layout keeps traffic low and privacy high
Rombakh says Market is a quiet area thanks to the unique aspect of its street layout. "And there are no cut-through streets. The area is laid out so the streets face toward the water, so there isn't any through traffic in the area." Homes in the area start at around $2.5 million and top out at around $7 million, generally for properties on the water. Properties tend to reflect modern styles, with sleek, clean-lined facades and prominent black-framed windows.

There's a bevy of options to choose from, whether diners want falafel or an upscale Italian dinner. Falafel Fresh is a local favorite for quick plates of shawarma, kebab and falafel. With mosaic tiles on the counter and a warm grey marble surface on the raised seating on the front window, Falafel Fresh has plenty of character to go with the tasty food. For a fancy night out, locals head to Volterra. With dark wood tables, moody lighting at night, and an espresso machine at the bar, Volterra is a popular spot for dinner and drinks.
