In Kirkland, the lake is your backdrop and downtown is your living room. Stroll to dinner, catch a sunset at the pier, jog the trail at dawn, and make it back in time for a late-night gelato. This is a community that values design, green space, and good living—front porches, pocket parks, and weekend events that actually make your calendar. Whether you’re after a modern condo, a classic craftsman, or a tucked-away townhome, Kirkland turns everyday routines into something you’ll look forward to.

Nestled along the eastern shores of Lake Washington, Kirkland blends small-town charm with modern sophistication. Known for its waterfront parks, thriving arts scene, and walkable downtown, it’s one of the Seattle area’s most desirable communities.
Kirkland blends lakefront living with a walkable downtown—think waterfront parks, local cafés, galleries, and the Cross-Kirkland Corridor trail—plus quick access to tech hubs in Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle. You get everyday convenience with a true neighborhood feel.
Start with Downtown/Moss Bay for walkability and condo living, Houghton for lake views and easy commutes, Juanita for parks and shoreline, and Bridle Trails for larger lots and a greener vibe. Each area offers a distinct lifestyle—waterfront, urban-walkable, or quiet residential.
Desirable homes can move fast. Get fully pre-approved, set up real-time listing alerts, and be ready to tour the day a home hits the market. Flexible terms and clear timelines help your offer stand out.
Waterfront delivers rare views, direct lake access, and strong long-term appeal. Costs can be higher (maintenance, insurance, potential HOA/CC&R rules), but many buyers value the lifestyle and resale strength. Near-water alternatives can capture views and proximity at lower price points.
Families appreciate the area’s well-regarded schools and abundant parks. Commuters benefit from access to I-405 and SR-520, with major employers minutes away. Daily life is easy—grocery, fitness, dining, and lakefront recreation are all close by.
