Living In The Silver Firs Community - Everett, Washington

Silver Firs is a well-planned housing community in South Everett, a few minutes east of Mill Creek.  It is made up of two large subdivisions referred to as Silver Firs 1 and Silver Firs Phase II.  Silver Firs 1 consists of 720 homes and 60 acres of common area including several green belts.  Some of the smaller divisions in Silver Firs 1 are commonly known as Glenview at Silver Firs, Highland Park at Silver Firs, and The Village at Silver Firs.

The newer Silver Firs Phase II neighborhood consists of 880 homes and 86 acres of common area including sport courts, tot lots, tennis court, and a youth soccer field.  Silver Firs Phase II includes several smaller communities, including Canterbury, Canterbury Heights, Hillcrest, Pembridge, Scarborough, Sherwood, The Cottages, Thornbury, and Vintage.

Most of the homes in the Silver Firs community are within a mile of Willis Tucker Park, an 84-acre park with an activity center, amphitheater, baseball fields, basketball court, 4.5 acre off-leash dog area, picnic shelters, playground, water park, and walking trails.  During the summer, the park hosts a movie night at the amphitheater each week.  On sunny summer days, the water park and the playground are bustling with children.  If you have a dog, the off-leash dog park is the best in the area.  There's even a "shy dog" area separated from the main dog park for dogs that are bit more timid.

Silver Firs is managed by two separate homeowner associations.  The older section, Silver Firs 1, is managed by Silver Firs 1 Home Owners Association and the newer section, Silver Firs Phase II, is managed by Silver Firs II Home Owners Association.  2010 annual homeowner dues are $122.57 for Silver Firs 1, and $303.00 for Silver Firs II.

Most of the smaller communities within Silver Firs border Puget Park Drive, while the Canterbury, Pembridge, and Hillcrest communities border 148th Street SE.

Silver Firs Townhomes - The Best Value In Everett, Washington

Would you think I'm crazy if I told you that you could find a 12-year old, 1700 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home for sale in a nice area for under $200,000?  Well, you can... And I'm not crazy.  Welcome to Silver Firs Townhomes.

Silver Firs Townhomes is an extension of the Silver Firs Neighborhood in south Everett just off Puget Park Drive.  The community is made up of 190 townhomes ranging from around 1300 square feet to over 1700 square feet, built between 1995 and 1998. 

Recent short sales and bank owned properties have made Silver Firs Townhomes a bargain hunter's dream.  However, strolling through the neighborhood, it probably wouldn't strike you as a distressed property neighborhood.  Properties look well maintained, neighbors are friendly, and people hit the sidewalks on sunny days for some extra exercise.  These properties are quietly sold to buyers looking for a great deal.

With property prices in Silver Firs Townhomes so affordable, you would probably expect high homeowners association dues, right?  Well, not here.  For dues of only $100 per month, the Silver Firs Townhomes Homeowners Association does a great job of maintaining common areas, as well as handling exterior tasks such as pressure washing buildings and gutter cleaning.

Approximately a mile from Silver Firs Townhomes is Willis Tucker Park, an 84-acre park with an activity center, amphitheater, baseball fields, basketball court, 4.5 acre off-leash dog area, picnic shelters, playground, water park, and walking trails.  During the summer, the park hosts a movie night at the amphitheater each week, and on sunny summer days, the water park and the playground are bustling with children.  For those of you with dogs, the off-leash dog area at Willis Tucker Park is the best in the area.  There's even a "shy dog" area separated from the main dog park for dogs that are bit more timid.

Just across Puget Park Drive from Silver Firs Townhomes is the newly renovated Mill Creek Family YMCA.  With over 39,000 square feet of state-of-the-art facility space and all new equipment, this YMCA branch is one of the nicest in the area.

If you're a first-time buyer, the Silver Firs Townhomes community offers an opportunity to buy a great home with room to stretch out without breaking the bank.
