Living in Finn Hill
Finn Hill is one of Kirkland's larger and more diverse residential communities, spanning a broad hillside landscape with a current median home price of $1,193,500 and $617 per square foot. The market has softened -15.5% year-over-year, likely reflecting broader Eastside price normalization after peak years, and may present opportunities for buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines. The neighborhood is prized for its wooded setting, parks, strong schools, and relatively spacious lot sizes compared to more urban Kirkland neighborhoods.

The neighborhood is car-dependent, but residents consistently cite the privacy, space, and natural beauty as key reasons they chose Finn Hill over more urban alternatives.
