Living in Country Village-Lake Pleasant-527 Corridor
Country Village-Lake Pleasant-527 Corridor is a residential neighborhood in Bothell straddling the SR-527 (Bothell-Everett Highway) corridor between Downtown Bothell and Canyon Park. The area blends established single-family subdivisions from the 1980s-2000s with a growing stock of newer townhomes. The original Country Village shopping center closed in 2019 after 34 years and has been redeveloped into townhome communities. Served by the Northshore School District and anchored by proximity to I-405, SR-522, and the Burke-Gilman/Sammamish River Trail system, it offers a suburban lifestyle with improving transit connections as the I-405/SR-527 corridor expansion project progresses.
Country Village-Lake Pleasant is the most walkable neighborhood in Bothell (Walk Score 50), though the area remains largely car-dependent. Transit Score of 28 reflects limited but improving bus service along SR-527 and SR-522, with Stride BRT planned for the I-405 corridor. Bike Score of 40 benefits from proximity to the Burke-Gilman and Sammamish River trails but lacks dedicated on-street bike infrastructure. The neighborhood is positioned between Downtown Bothell's walkable restaurants and breweries and Canyon Park's retail and employment hub.
