Get to Know the Mercer Island Estates Community

By Ken Urman, Realtor/Broker

 

The Mercer Island Estates community is located on the southern end of Mercer Island, near the Country Club. Development of the neighborhood as a “planned community” began in the 1960s. This beginning is evident in the large number of split level homes (very popular in the 1950s and 1960s) and level roads.

 

These level roads make the neighborhood a very popular place for riding bicycles, and many of the children in the neighborhood ride their bikes to school. Two well-known features within this neighborhood are Wildwood Park (one of the island’s two off-leash areas for dogs and their owners) and the Mercer Island Country Club, which offers swimming, tennis, fitness and other sports facilities to members.

 

Mercer Island Estates is very close to both Lakeridge Elementary School and Islander Middle School. It is also within comfortable walking distance of the Village Shopping Center (home of a very popular gathering place in the Starbucks). The South End Fire Station is also nearby, as is Pioneer Park. The park has been maintained in its natural forest condition and is divided into quadrants by roads. Residents enjoy the six-plus miles of walking trails and equestrian trails which are convenient to the Mercer Island Saddle Club located just outside the southeast quadrant of the park.

 

Mercer Island Estates is a very attractive neighborhood that offers a rare combination of qualities that include level topography, quiet streets, stores and schools within an easy walking distance, and a clear and definite neighborhood boundary. Seven homes in this neighborhood have sold in the last 360 days. There is currently one home for sale in Mercer Island Estates.  This 2,340 square foot single-level rambler has three bedrooms, 1.75 bathrooms, and is located in a quiet cul-de-sac.
