About Shoreline
A suburban city located 15 minutes north of Seattle, bordering North Seattle to its south, Lake Forest Park to its east, and Woodway, Edmonds, Lynnwood, and Mountlake Terrace to its north. Shoreline was considered North Seattle until about 12 years ago, before it seceded and became its own independent city. The reason for the secession was to gain control of their school systems; and now the Shoreline School District is rated one of the best in the State. Because of its location, residents enjoy the best of both worlds… the calm and laid back atmosphere suburbs offer and a very short trip to one of the nation’s most vibrant and beautiful cities to experience the urban life (and the dining and shopping, of course!).

What draws people to Shoreline?
Besides the nice balance of the location, is its highly acclaimed school district, the family oriented lifestyle it offers, the rapidly growing business community, and - last but definitely not least – the happy median of the abundance of trees and beaches that boast the most beautiful sunsets on Puget Sound.

Homes in Shoreline
Shoreline homes tend to be more affordable compared to the Seattle market, another reason why people decide to take their property searches there.  The median housing price is about $399,950. Also, Shoreline tips over more to the residential side, with more than 70% of the households being single family residences. However, like Seattle, Shoreline definitely has its “brand name” neighborhoods. The Richmond Beach, Richmond Highlands, The Highlands, and Innis Arden neighborhoods are highly acclaimed neighborhoods and have several outstanding view properties, especially as most of them are right on the sound.  Housing prices lower when you get closer to Aurora Avenue (Hwy 99), mostly due to the traffic noise and the proximity to the commercial district, which is located on Aurora.
