Q&A
-
West Woodland is a great place for single-family residences as that’s what most buyers expect here. Lot sizes are generally ~4000sf, but can be smaller closer to NW Market and 15th Ave NW. All are located in very walkable areas. School ratings are rapidly climbing as well as young families and professionals have been moving in at increasing rates.
-
Yes. West Woodland has plenty of townhomes throughout. If you come across one you like, grab it - There are a lot of buyers who want maintenance-free living but more than a condo here. There will always be a TH buyer population with their radar covering this area whether they have heard of West Woodland or not.

Yes! What, am I going to say no? Not in this urban area! Moving into a condo here is an excellent way to remain ultra walkable. Nearby Ballard proper is a hot spot for dining and retail, and you’ll be right in the midst! Condos are typically maintenance-free and we are seeing a lot of younger career-focused and older populations who want the maintenance-free of the condos here. Much less work than owning a house but still have the joy of improving something that is growing in value!
