Sheridan Beach Club Homes:  Sheridan Beach Community Club Boundaries, Beach Rights, More!  Lake Forest Park Beach Rights come in three forms currently:  access at the public dock deeded to the city in the 1990's, Lake Forest Park Civic Club Homes, or the Sheridan Beach Community Club Homes.  Each has its perks, but Lake Forest Park waterfront beach rights through either the Civic Club or the Community Club are very desirable. The Sheridan Beach Community Club is a shared waterfront beach club centered around life on the waters of Lake Washington as well as the on site pool open during the season (parts of May through parts of September)  (Swim Club).

Sheridan Beach Club Homes also enjoy other great perks of membership - Besides the waterfront beach at the Sheridan Beach Community Club, you can also join the Sheridan Beach Community Club Sailing Club and the Sailing Club - it is such a great community asset! The Swim Club is pretty special - swim lessons, polo, water aerobics, and more - lots of updated activities and a great place to gather with your neighbors.

So what are the Sheridan Beach Club Boundaries and where can you find homes within these boundaries with Lake Forest Park Beach Rights?  Sheridan Beach Club Membership is deeded to the residents of both Sheridan Beach - the waterfront neighborhood of Lake Forest Park and to Sheridan Heights - full of gorgeous Lake Forest Park view homes.

Waterfront Homes In The  Seattle Area... Lots Of Real Estate Choices Here

Do you want to look at waterfront homes for sale in Seattle, Washington?  There are a lot of different real estate choices so which type of waterfront living is your favorite?  Seattle, Washington luckily has all kinds of water and there are many different ways to live on the water!  So if you want a waterfront home in the Seattle WA area or Washington state in general, you have some great options!

Some Great Seattle real estate waterfront homes and neighborhoods to look at:

1. Seattle floating homes aka houseboats are a popular option to dream about!  Seattle floating homes are really the very ultimate in Seattle waterfront real estate, right?  What could be more waterfront than living on the actual water in one of Seattle's finest neighborhoods?  There are not many houseboats left in Seattle  (about 500) and these floating home communities special!  They require special financing, inspections, and more, but to live on Lake Union or in Portage Bay would a for sure number one pick for Seattle waterfront real estate! 

2. Riviera Beach in Matthews Beach (Matthews Beach Real Estate) is a close second for Seattle lakefront living.  This little community is nestled on the West banks of Lake Washington with perfect postage stamp lots and also right on the Burke-Gilman trail.  If you want more privacy than houseboat living could offer, this might be a great choice! 

3. Sheridan Beach real estate in Lake Forest Park, Wa is a great option for North Seattle - situated North of Matthews Beach on Lake Washington, Sheridan Beach offers a private beach club membership and wonderful views of Kirkland.  Lake Forest Park homes in general have a lot going for them and the natural settings in this Seattle suburb are gorgeous!

4. Richmond Beach, Shoreline, WA. Richmond Beach is one of my very favorite beaches in the Seattle area and it is quite historic!  Perched on Puget Sound, this West facing community has some of the most amazing mountain and Sound views! 

Richmond Beach homes have a huge variety and are all oriented towards the downward slope and the water.  Because of this and the large park, a great option is to buy a big view home and walk to the public beach. Richmond Beach Real Estate  is one of my favorite parts of Shoreline WA real estate!

5. Bainbridge Island:  Want to work in Downtown Seattle and live the Seattle dream by commuting via ferry?  If you are a walk on passenger or even a cyclist, then the ferry system can be a very quick way to commute back and forth between work.  Many people like to live in Winslow on Bainbridge and walk on the ferry to ride over to Downtown.  Without having to rely on putting a car on and off the ferry, the commute is pretty easy!  Bainbridge offers a ton of waterfront homes and options!  Bainbridge Island Real Estate

6. Lastly, Go check out the Washington State coast!  A lot of people think that Seattle is on the West Coast, but it is actually 2 1/2 to 3 hours in from the Pacific Ocean.  We are on the Puget Sound which comes in from the Pacific Ocean.  If you want to check out the ultimate in waterfront homes, go take a trip and check out our pretty coast!  Ocean Shores is quite affordable with oceanfront lots starting at under $200,000!  Washington Coast homes

That is it for my Seattle waterfront homes and neighborhoods - these are just a few highlighted communities!  There are many more options as well in waterfront homes around Seattle:  Mercer Island, Bellevue, Kirkland, Edmonds, Mukilteo, Sammamish, and more all offer different ways to enjoy our beautiful state!

Sheridan Beach Real Estate in the Seattle Suburb of Lake Forest Park, Washington - this is a wonderful Seattle waterfront neighborhood!

Sheridan Beach is right across from the Lake Forest Park Towne Centre in the heart of Lake Forest Park WA - it is a small waterfront community with some amazing homes!  The waterfront Sheridan Beach homes in Lake Forest Park are on the banks of Lake Washington and have wonderful low to no bank water frontage.  The other homes in Sheridan Beach are all also close to not only the water, but the Burke Gilman trail and all that lake Forest Park has to offer.

Wondering what it might cost to get into Sheridan Beach in Lake Forest Park? Sheridan Beach real estate has a large range due to the nature of its boundaries to the East and West.  On the West side is Bothell Highway and there are Sheridan Beach homes available starting in the $350,000 range from time to time, but only a couple blocks over is Lake Washington and waterfront Sheridan Beach homes start in the low million range and up.  You can get a really nice Lake Forest Park lakefront home in Sheridan Beach for under 1.5 million.

Sheridan Beach is a great neighborhood to choose when looking at Lake Forest Park real estate if you enjoy the outdoors and want to be close to both the lake and the trail for walking, biking, and more.  Having the Town Centre right across the street helps, too, and a car can actually become unnecessary in this neighborhood!  The Burke Gilman trail runs all the way into Seattle and interconnects with other trails both North and South of Lake Forest Park. 

The Town Centre has grocery, restaurant, banks, coffee, videos, book store, pet store, library, cafe, Subway, and more.  In addition, there is a seasonal farmer's market and city hall is right there, too!  Lake Forest Park has a lot to offer and is a pretty easy commute to Seattle!   Sheridan Beach is one of Lake Forest Park's  fabulous neighborhoods and has some great perks!

Seattle WA floating homes are a great waterfront real estate option in Seattle!  Lake Union has its own special attractions and people who live on the lake love it!  Living on a Seattle houseboat might be one of the most thought about options for people when they are pondering waterfront homes in Seattle! 

These homes offer a wide variety of living plans and the quarters are almost tight, but wouldn't it be great to truly be on the Seattle waterfront? One of the most asked questions I get is, "Do they move with the water?"  The answer is yes and how much depends on how far down the dock you are.  Houseboats on the end of the dock cost more and offer more open views typically, but they do rock back and forth quite a bit more and definitely when a boat passes by.  There is less rock closer in to land. 

Seattle offers lots of waterfront living, but I love this option the best! 

People always love looking at houseboats and I have had fun showing them.  They are the ideal Seattle, Washington lifestyle for many people and one of the first things tourists think about for our city!

A couple funny things that happened to me at an open house for a floating home in Eastlake:  One lady got a little sea sick even though the home was fairly close in on the dock.  Another visitor asked about the plumbing.  Yes, there is a sewer line that goes down the dock!  These are floating homes, not vessels.

While showing a Seattle houseboat once, I dropped the key into Lake Union.  The listing agent wasn't thrilled with me, and I was embarrassed, but he could have put a float on it was my thought.

Living in a very close knit waterfront neighborhood...

Everyone pretty much knows everyone on a dock and neighbors watch out for others.  If you want privacy, this might not be the best option.  This might not be the most ideal solution for Seattle waterfront homes if you like to be alone, but watching the world go by and being in the middle of it all would be the great appeal for most people!
