Issaquah Highlands Undressed

What Is It About Issaquah Highlands Anyway? Why Is It So Popular?

To me, these are the top 10 reasons Issaquah Highlands is so popular:

1– J J Putz lives here. (now I have to list 11)

2– They are going to build a second road out of here. (now I have to list 12)

3– The variety of homes and options for living that are available.

4– Easy access to I -520

5– It is mostly well maintained. Some parts don’t have home owners associations, and their yards can look a little bad, but that is rare.

6– The shopping center we believe will come some day will wrap up a pretty convenient place to live.

7– The views: So many lots have them. Those that don’t have ample ways to particpate.

8– Nice big yards. OK, I lied here, except there are a few of the 2.5 acres pieces yet to buy.

9– Small parks big park…. Evan one called Bark Park. They are all over the place. That makes up for the small yards doesn’t it?

10– Sidewalks and walking trails. This type of planning makes the community more walkable, even a bit hostile to vehicles, as the roads get a little tight. It reminds me of Andreas – Duany architects model communities.

11– Resale values. So far no community has had better results in King County.

12– Wildlife: Most of us have seen the deer in our yards. Some of us the bear. All of us the Geese. Some of us the Heron and the (what is that guy that flies straight to the water and looks like an arrow going straight down?) the uh uh uh (time for google) Osprey. Have you seen the buffle head ducks, we have. Walk behind The Cottages in Katsura and you will see numerous types of birds, it is like an aviary. I don’t like the bullfrogs and noise, thank you Heron and Osprey, you have done your duty I think.

What is your opinion?
