Living in Market
Market is Kirkland's ultra-premium urban core neighborhood, centered around the vibrant downtown waterfront and commanding a median price of $3,249,950 — the highest of any Kirkland neighborhood. The 87-day average DOM reflects the highly selective buyer pool and bespoke nature of luxury properties here, where discerning buyers take their time. A 7.4% year-over-year gain demonstrates that even at the top of the market, values continue to appreciate.
Market is the most walkable neighborhood in Kirkland — a compact urban village where waterfront dining, art galleries, boutique shopping, and weekend farmers markets are all steps from your front door. The neighborhood has an upscale, cosmopolitan energy with a small-town feel, attracting buyers who want the best of both worlds. Marina Park, the Kirkland waterfront trail, and year-round community events make this a truly live-walk-play lifestyle.
