Kids can walk to Thurston Middle School or Top of the World Elementary school or hop on the trolley which stops across the street to ride for free down to the village and stops along the way. There is a great hiking trail right across the street, as well plus a great park, tennis courts and more trails at the top of the hill. If you overlooked this property before, because of price, don't wait any longer, because at this price it will attract a lot of potential buyers.
