Suburban neighborhood with retail and transit options
Spruce Hills is an expansive residential neighborhood sandwiched between two state highways, with everything from multi-story homes to single-bedroom condos. Most properties are a quick walk or drive away from retail and dining, with Lynnwood's city center about 2 miles south and Downtown Seattle, roughly 17 miles away. “It’s fairly affordable living, and the central location, you just can’t get much better. It’s close to everything,” says Realtor Carol Arnim with Century 21, who has over 25 years of experience.
Spruce Hills’ single- and multi-family properties
Spruce Hills’ suburban landscape includes a wide mix of housing types with grassy front lawns and driveways. “There are a lot of single-family homes, but it’s getting to be more commercialized with newer condos and apartments,” Arnim says. Ranch-style homes built from the 1960s to 1980s are common, alongside bi-levels. These houses span 1,200 to 2,200 square feet and cost $700,000 to $925,000. New Traditional multi-story homes were built in the 1990s with Craftsman features like front gables and tucked-in garages. Prices range between $575,000 and $1 million for 1,200 to 2,400-square-foot homes. Multi-family properties, such as attached townhouses and contemporary condos, span 600 to 1,500 square feet and cost $275,000 to $650,000.
A handful of manufactured home communities in the area go for $90,000 to $175,000 and owners buy the home and pay rent for the land. “The manufactured homes that I work with right now are very popular with the 55 and up community because they’re very affordable,” Arnim says.
Condos and townhomes are a popular multi-family housing option for Spruce Hills residents.
New Traditional homes are the most commonly found style in the Spruce Hills neighborhood.
