Lakeland South, a convenient suburb
Lakeland South attracts homebuyers with access to retail, restaurants and green spaces. Many homebuyers move to Lakeland South from nearby cities because they see the community as a nice place to settle down. “It’s a good community where people watch out for each other,” says Realtor Don Goethals, who sells homes in the area with RE/MAX Extra, a company he owns. The community also offers highway access that residents use to commute to Seattle and Tacoma. The most popular listings have lake views. The weather is also a partial draw. “Lakeland South’s elevation is above the fog and below the snow,” Goethals says. “When Seattle has foggy days, it's often sunny in Lakeland South.”
Homeowners on Lake Geneva in Lakeland South enjoy all the benefits of living close to the water.

“Downtown Seattle and Downtown Tacoma have both had price drops in the past few years, but Lakeland South has continued to increase in price,” Goethals says. Three-bedroom mobile homes sell for between $125,000 and $315,000. Three-bedroom 1960s ranch-style homes are typically valued at around $370,000 and $520,000. Assessors value most three-bedroom homes on Lake Geneva at between $465,000 and $940,000. Four-bedroom homes on Lake Killarney are valued between $760,000 and $1 million. Both lakes offer a mix of cottage, ranch and contemporary-style homes. Assessors value four-bedroom 1990s contemporary-style suburban homes at between $560,000 and $950,000.
