Issaquah sits at the base of Tiger Mountain, Cougar Mountain, and Squak Mountain - giving residents trail access that most cities can only dream of. Combine that with the Issaquah School District (among the highest-rated in Washington) and I-90 commuter access, and you have one of the Eastside's most desirable family markets.
The median home price runs about $1.2M. The Issaquah Highlands - a master-planned community with its own schools, parks, and commercial center - makes up a significant portion of the market.
Historic downtown Issaquah has more character: older homes, smaller lots, Gilman Village shopping, and the annual Salmon Days Festival in October.
Issaquah is a natural comparison to Snoqualmie Ridge. Both are master-planned, both have strong schools, both have mountain access. The difference is price ($250K gap favoring Snoqualmie), school district (Issaquah wins on rankings), and commute (Issaquah is 10 minutes closer to Bellevue).
My contractor Carl Hurtt and videographer Ryan Miller work across the I-90 corridor. If you're considering Issaquah, I can give you the full picture.
