A tranquil place with conveniences

Just 9 miles north of Seattle, Haller Lake is a quiet, secluded community with nearby conveniences. "People move here for the neighborhood's proximity to Seattle; it's right off the I-5," says Windermere Real Estate Realtor/broker Natalee Thurston, who lives nearby and has sold 10 homes here. "It's a great area for commuters." The area is heavily wooded and streets meander throughout the neighborhood.

A home by the lake

Haller Lake has many housing options, from one-bedroom condos to million-dollar new-construction homes. The architecture features a mix of styles, like bungalows, ranch-style and new construction. "Many of the homes date back to the 1950s and come with large yards," Thurston says. Prices range from $353,000 to $1.4 million, and residences closer to Haller Lake tend to be more expensive. Two-bedroom condos list for just over $350,000, while a waterfront four-bedroom home can cost over $1.3 million. Not all homes have garages, so residents park in their driveways, on the road or elsewhere on their property. Most streets are without sidewalks.

Fun at the lake

Haller Lake has several nearby parks for all kinds of recreation. The 20-acre Northacres Park, located just off I-5, is surrounded by woodland and contains a small forest behind the picnic area. Amenities include two ballfields, a play area, an off-leash dog space and a spray park. A winding path provides public access to the west side of Haller Lake, which locals utilize for picnics and birdwatching. Occasionally, the lake is stocked with fish, and residents are permitted to cast their reels. The Haller Lake Community Club hosts a variety of programs and events throughout the year, like Community Dance Night. The Lake City Branch of the Seattle Public Library serves the Haller Lake community. In addition to its extensive book collection, the library offers free classes, activities and events.

Aurora Avenue North is the place to be

The newly remodeled Aurora Shopping Center is a 1.5-mile drive on local streets and features national chains like Amazon Fresh, Ross, Ulta and Planet Fitness. Locals head to Aurora Avenue North for groceries, shops and dining. The Lotus Pond is known for its authentic Vietnamese dishes, and Saffron Grill serves unique Indian-Mediterranean fusion cuisine. A local favorite that's been around since 1954 is Dick's Drive-in. "They only serve hamburgers, fries, soda and milkshakes, that's it," Thurston says. "And you can't make any special requests."

Right near the I-5

Many residents commute by car, though there are public transportation options like Metro Transit, Community Transit and Sound Transit. Several bus routes also run throughout the city. A public light rail system is slated to begin operating in 2024, which will offer easy commuting options to and from Seattle for work, as well as popular events downtown. "That will really make things easier for commuters," Thurston says. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is a 21-mile drive via Interstate 5.

There are many big stores around my area such as Sam's Club, Albertson's, and Ross. Sam's Club and Albertson's hold a variety of foods and so are convenient to have near my home. However, sometimes the prices of fresh fruits and vegetables at these places can be expensive. Ross is great to have near my home because it sells clothing at cheap prices.
