Welcome to the peaceful Lake Forest Park suburb of Turtle Rock, home to midcentury and new construction, excellent schools and proximity to some of the community's best amenities. "The area is known for having excellent schools with the Shoreline School District, easy access to Lake Washington and a quick commute to Bothell, Shoreline, Everett and Seattle," says Realtor Michael Good with Coldwell Banker Danforth.
Homes here are tucked away on tranquil wooded streets lined with towering evergreen trees. This established community is home to plenty of midcentury split levels and traditional homes, offering a chance to invest and create your dream home. However, you'll also find contemporary new construction throughout the community, with modern farmhouse-style exteriors and luxury interiors. Homes here are somewhat densely built but offer plenty of backyard space to relax or entertain on an attached deck. Prices in the area range from $750,000 for an established split level up to $1.5 million for modern new construction.
Turtle Rock is served by the Shoreline Public Schools district, which includes Lake Forest Park Elementary School, which earns an A-minus from Niche. The school is known for its community events sponsored by the PTA program, including movie nights and the Spring Auction. Kellogg Middle School receives an A and offers Hang Time, an after-school program with creative activities and gaming. Shorecrest High School, also rated A, offers several pathways, including visual and performing arts, culinary arts and STEM.
While the community is primarily residential, you're just a short drive to neighborhood green spaces like Terrace Ridge Park. This modest yet peaceful park is a family favorite, offering a playground, shaded picnic areas and an 18-hole disc golf course. Closer to Lake Washington, you can head to Log Boom Park to spend the day relaxing on the beach or exploring the shimmering blue waters on a paddleboard or kayak.
The community is bordered on its southern edge by Ballinger Way Northeast. It's the area's central hub of business, where you'll find shops, grocery stores and restaurants like The Local 104. This neighborhood pizzeria will quickly become a favorite, offering wood-fired pizza, spacious outdoor seating and a tap wall with over 30 beverage options. If you drive further north on Ballinger Way, you'll find Ballinger Village, which has retail, restaurants and the local movie theater. If you head south on Ballinger Way, you'll find the Town Center at Lake Forest Park. This retail area has a bookstore, grocery store, dining and a mix of chain retail and novelty shops. The Town Center is also home to a Sunday farmers market from May to October and a summer craft market.
