Housing: Value That Hasn't Hit Its Ceiling…Yet
As of Q2 2025, Highland Terrace's median sale price hovers around $840 K—well below Green Lake or Ballard, and even trailing nearby Richmond Highlands. For buyers priced out of Seattle but weary of longer commutes, that delta screams opportunity.
Link Light Rail
Both the Shoreline South/148th and Shoreline North/185th stations debut in 2025, shrinking transit times to downtown to under 25 minutes and spurring TOD investment. (shorelinewa.gov) Together, these projects are poised to elevate Highland Terrace from "underrated" to "in‑demand"—and sooner than many think.
Schools That Overperform
Highland Terrace Elementary boasts an 8/10 GreatSchools rating, supported by active parent volunteers and project‑based learning. Students feed into Einstein Middle and Shorewood High, giving the neighborhood one of the strongest public‑school pipelines north of the city.
Layouts that Live Well
Open-concept main floor with fireplace and greenbelt deck, bright kitchen with breakfast bar, and vaulted-ceiling primary suite featuring a private deck, loft, and skylights. Two more bedrooms, updated baths, and a 4-car garage round out the layout. Recent exterior updates offer peace of mind and lasting value.
