Innis Arden
Neighborhood in Shoreline, Washington
King County 98177
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.Private parks and public beaches on Puget Sound
Residents of Innis Arden can access a community park with a playground, soccer field, baseball diamond, pickleball courts and a walking track. 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.A-rated public schools in Shoreline
Families living in Innis Arden can send their children to schools within the Shoreline School District. Highland Terrace Elementary provides a Multilingual Learners Program for students learning English. From there, students can attend Albert Einstein Middle School. Shorewood High School offers both Advanced Placement and dual credit courses. Students can also participate in one of the school’s 17 sports teams or 60 clubs. All three schools earn an A rating from Niche.Innis Arden Club’s community events
The Innis Arden Club is the neighborhood’s homeowner’s association. The organization manages and maintains the community amenities and welcomes newcomers to the neighborhood. Its Activities Committee organizes events throughout the year, including wine-tasting nights, a Spring Hop & Salmon BBQ, Oktoberfest, a Holiday Soiree and more. “These events provide opportunities for neighbors to connect and build lasting relationships,” Norberg says.Navigating in and out of Innis Arden
Innis Arden’s winding neighborhood roads may lack sidewalks but are wide enough for pedestrians. “It’s common to see residents out for leisurely strolls, walking their dogs or jogging along the streets,” Norberg says. However, when it comes to traveling outside the neighborhood, the area is car-dependent. Washington State Route 99, known as Aurora Avenue, is the closest main thoroughfare, about 2 miles east in Shoreline. Commuters can use this road to access downtown Seattle. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, or SeaTac, is roughly 26 miles away for commercial flying.Retail and restaurants along Aurora Avenue
Innis Arden is entirely residential, though shopping and dining is nearby. Richmond Village shopping center is directly outside the neighborhood with QFC for groceries. There’s also the Santa Fe Mexican Grille & Cantina, and Gourmet Latte, a chain coffee shop. Shoreline’s main commercial corridor along Aurora Avenue is about 2 miles east of Innis Arden with additional retail such as Walgreens and Trader Joe’s. Farther south is the Aurora Square shopping mall, which has Town & Country Market, a local grocery store chain. Across the street are several local restaurants, including Mediterranean Oasis, Taqueria El Sabor and Le’s Pho Tai & Sandwiches.
