Nestled around a full-square-mile natural lake and just 45 minutes from Seattle, Lake Stevens offers scenic lakeside living with stellar schools and a strong sense of community. With a median home price around $690K to $700K, housing remains relatively affordable compared to cities closer to downtown Seattle, and homes typically sell within about 12 days.

Beyond housing, Lake Stevens shines as a leisure destination, residents enjoy boating, swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxing at North Cove or Lundeen Park. Community events like Aquafest and an Ironman triathlon bring people together, while excellent public schools and safe neighborhoods make it ideal for families. With trails, parks, and a welcoming, small-town vibe, Lake Stevens is attractive to both retirees and growing families.
