Marysville Washington Real Estate
Marysville Washington is known as a residential housing community and it is no surprise since there are many neighborhoods that surround the 14 schools. Growing up in Marysville and now working in the real estate industry, I can attest to this and what makes this area a great place to live.
So if Marysville is just a residential housing community there must be a lot of variation between the neighborhoods, right? Not exactly, there are many builders that have come in the area over the past 20 years but the continuity has remained consistent giving Marysville a comfortable and stable feel. The three major styles of homes are ramblers, two stories and split levels.
Ramblers were the most prominently built homes in the early growth of Marysville but still remain the favorite and most appealing of all the designs. They are laid out with a simple floor plan usually consisting of 3 bedrooms, 1 bath and a 1 or 2 car garage. Ramblers are still built in the newer neighborhoods, but have expanded to 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 2 car garage that keep a similar floor plan. An example of a rambler neighborhood is Cumberland Court located near Cedarcrest Middle School.
Two stories have really been popular these last 20 years because on the same size lot size as a small rambler more square footage of living area can be obtained. Usually a fourth bedroom is added along with a down stairs bathroom enabling a greater separation from playing kids and relaxing parents. The lot sizes are roughly 5,000 to 7,200 square feet giving the owners both a front and back yard for play or pets. An example of a two story neighborhood is Rock Creek on the Eastside of Marysville.
Split levels are very distinctive from the outside since the entrance stairs go right thru the middle of the home. Upon walking in residents can to choose whether to go upstairs, where the kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom are, or downstairs, where there is a recreation room and a additional bedroom and bathroom. Split levels are usually spaced throughout the neighborhoods to change up the plat layout and give some diversity to the neighborhood so there really isn’t a good example.
Marysville Washington is an ever growing residential housing community that still offers the down home feel, but isn’t too far from the major metropolitan areas like Everett, Lynnwood, Seattle and the Eastside (denoted by the Eastside of Lake Washington, Kirkland, Redmond and Bellevue). If you’re looking for a get away and a slower paced of life, especially on the weekend, then travel to the northwest and see what Marysville, Washington has to offer.
