Secluded community along Puget Sound
Waves lap along the western shoreline of Innis Arden, where the Puget Sound offers incredible views for the quiet suburban neighborhood. Located about 13 miles north of downtown Seattle in Shoreline, Innis Arden is surrounded by mature trees and natural vegetation. “Innis Arden is a highly desirable community known for its territorial landscapes and protected views of Puget Sound,” says Managing Broker Lella Norberg with Windermere Real Estate Shoreline, who has over 15 years of experience. The neighborhood was created in the 1930s when the Boeing Company owner purchased the land for his wife and has remained a private community for its homeowners ever since. “The neighborhood fosters a strong sense of community through its volunteer-led Activities Committee, which organizes a variety of events throughout the year.”
Innis Arden homes offer incredible views of the Puget Sound, and Olympic Mountains.

Single-family homes on a hillside first developed by Boeing
Most homes in Innis Arden are lined along a hillside overlooking the shore. These grassy half-acre properties are surrounded by tall trees that provide privacy from neighbors. Luxury ranch-style estates built in the 1950s are common, alongside raised ranch-styles with balconies on the top level. Floor-to-ceiling picture windows adorn most homes for uninterrupted views. These houses span 2,300 to 5,000 square feet and are priced between $1.5 million and $5.8 million, depending on property size and condition. “When Boeing first developed Innis Arden, the most expensive lots sold for $5,000, with some priced as low as $1,000," Norberg says. "Today, the median home price in the neighborhood exceeds $2 million.” The CAP Index crime score for Innis Arden is two out of 10, compared to the national average of four.

There’s also a clubhouse and a swimming pool accessible to Innis Arden Club members. “The Innis Arden Swim Club is a popular community asset, offering a premier swim facility with lessons for swimmers of all ages and skill levels,” Norberg says. Along the neighborhood’s coastline is Richmond Beach Park, a public beach with a sandy shoreline. The park’s 40 acres include trails, a picnic area and an off-leash dog area. Visitors can spot the occasional whale in Puget Sound, including orcas in the colder months. Additionally, Innis Arden’s natural landscape includes 50 acres of forested land. The Innis Arden Reserve Park, known as “The Reserves” by locals, has several hiking trails that meander through steep hillsides and mixed forests. The public trail follows a railroad track, while a private, gated trail open to club members heads down to a beach on the coast.
