Residents are not only minutes away from the sandy shores of Lake Washington and the many beaches along the shoreline, but there's plenty to do within the community as well. Judkins Park is a popular spot for people in the area, whether you're going for a leisurely walk or bringing the kids to the playground to burn off some energy.

Rent is extremely high and not controlled. Houses that look like nothing are being sold for top dollar due to demand.
