Lake Forest Park Real Estate
Lake Forest Park, Washington is located just north of the Seattle city limits. A bedroom community by design, most of the city consists of single-family housing on medium to large-sized lots, with an emphasis placed on retaining the natural features of the landscape. Less than 4% of the city land is zoned commercial; most of that is in one location, and there are no industrial areas whatsoever. Notable features include a large amount of lakefront and lake view residential property, assorted parks and nature preserves, convenient access to the Burke-Gilman Trail, a summertime-only farmer's market, and a large new and used bookstore / food court where community members socialize. The population was 13,142 at the 2000 census.
