Why Did Our Neighbors Move To Issaquah Highlands
Why did you move to Issaquah Highlands? What are you looking for if you haven’t yet?
Last night I had the enjoyable experience of being on a panel at Blakely Hall. A small group of home owners had been invited to meet with a builders staff and their real estate broker. We spent two hours answering questions and surveys on why we moved to Issaquah Highlands and what we liked and didn’t like about our new homes.
I must say it was fun. I might also invite other builders to invite us. The PERK to us was a $100 gift certificate to SIP.
The group was a mix, young and old. We had purchased a different mix of homes. One couple had a new business here.
As we were each asked to name the 2 major reasons we moved to Issaquah Highlands I took notes.
I thought it would be informative to share with you the major reasons that were given.
1–-Easy access to other locations: Bellevue, Downtown Issaquah, i-90, and even downtown Seattle.
You might be interested one on the panel walks to work in downtown Issaquah. She was mean spirited by chiding us that didn’t. All of us. After all she said, “it is only 2 miles.” OK fine. BTW, it was all in fun.
2–The beautiful neighborhoods. Some said they just love walking around the Highlands. The walking paths, the parks, the nice looking homes. The friendliness of the area, the children, those walking their dogs was mentioned.
3– Having retail close by, the planned community concept. For sure we are anxious for the shopping center but things are shaping up. Have you been to World Pies or Le Chic Pet yet?
4– The views: not all of the homes have views but they are abundant as you drive around.
5– The children. This is a great place for children. It was part of the reason some moved here.
6– It is pro being social. It is easy to be involved with others here. There are events etc. but the sidewalks, parks, and gathering places make it easy to find friendships and acquaintances.
Why did you move here? What are you looking for if you haven’t yet? Let us know. Larry Cragun
