 This area was first settled around the turn of the century and is at the heart of Shoreline, bordered by Aurora Avenue to the east and the waterfront neighborhood of Innis Arden to the west. Established in the 1960's, it is very residential and "close to everything." You will find shopping in the Richmond Highlands vicinity; shopping is also on major thoroughfares and at Northgate or Alderwood Mall. A big draw for residents is the commute and the community stability. Richmond Highlands also boasts large lots and an excellent school system. Housing styles include ramblers, ramblers with daylight basements, splits, tri-levels, multi-levels and large family homes. Some houses have views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Like Richmond Beach, amenities include many attractive to families: parks, a nationally acclaimed school system, sports leagues and a nearby library. Richmond Highlands is also largely a "bedroom community," with most residents employed at such companies as Boeing in Seattle and Everett, the Eastside software companies or various downtown government jobs. |
