Parts of Gateway date back to the 1950s
About 15 miles north of Seattle, Gateway is one of six neighborhoods in Mountlake Terrace, a community originally designed for World War II veterans coming home after service, but officially incorporated in 1954.
Gateway, which makes up the southern chunk of Mountlake Terrace, is mostly comprised of traditional single-family homes and townhomes. Many homes are set along winding, residential blocks and tend to have some lawn space. Some areas have sidewalks. Houses tend to date back to around 1950 — the era when Mountlake Terrace was taking root. But styles vary from traditional, ranch-style ramblers to spacious Craftsman homes. Prices range from $440,000 to $830,000. Large custom homes, though, can range from $1.2 million to $1.6 million. There are some newer townhome communities, but units don't come up for sale often. Values range from $620,000 to $950,000.
