Commuter neighborhood in Lynnwood
Cedar Heights is a residential neighborhood with direct access to Interstate 5, only 2 miles from Lynnwood’s city center. “It’s a great commuter neighborhood because of the light rail nearby and easy freeway access to downtown Seattle. The transit options can also take you into Seattle’s east side,” says Real Estate Agent Josephine Sanger with Compass, who has about 8 years of experience in the industry. Despite the interstate’s noisy traffic, Cedar Heights maintains a peaceful suburban atmosphere. Single-family homes are in cul-de-sacs and zoned for high-performing schools in Edmonds.
Single-family homes south of the interstate
Most homes in Cedar Heights have front yards with decorative trees and shrubbery, lined along residential streets. “You typically get more space for the price point here, with large yards and room between neighbors,” Sanger says. Mid-century, ranch-style homes with brick and vinyl exteriors are common. These houses span 1,200 to 1,500 square feet and are priced from $600,000 to $850,000. A handful of split-levels built in the 1960s and 1970s are found in the neighborhood for similar prices. New Traditional multi-story homes from the 2000s are another familiar housing type. These cost $950,000 to $1.2 million for a house spanning 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. Some of them also share Craftsman features like gabled roofs and front porches.

Traveling by car, bus or train
The wide streets and crosswalks in the neighborhood encourage walks and bike rides in some areas, though other transportation methods are required to leave the neighborhood. Interstate 5 runs directly north of Cedar Heights and can be used to head into downtown Seattle. Commuters can also use the Lynnwood City Center light rail station, located on the other side of the interstate, less than a mile away. “You see a lot of blue-collar workers in the Lynnwood area driving their own vehicles, but folks who are young professionals in the city tend to use the light rail,” Sanger says. Puget Sound Transit bus stops are dotted along 44th Avenue W and 212th Street SW. The Swedish Edmonds Medical Center is about 2 miles east. For commercial flights, the Seattle Paine Field International Airport is roughly 8 miles away.
