Yarrow Point

About This Neighborhood

Yarrow Point is one of the four premier residential communities on Lake Washington’s eastern shore—a peninsula of approximately 170 homes where the pace is deliberately slower and the access to water is unmatched.

Most real estate websites will give you a paragraph about tree-lined streets and excellent schools. What follows is a deeper understanding of the community—its market dynamics, its land constraints, and what actually determines value here.

If you are considering buying or selling in Yarrow Point, this page is designed to give you the intelligence that matters—drawn from two decades of direct experience on the Eastside, not aggregated data alone.

The Market: What the Numbers Say

As of early 2026, the median sale price in Yarrow Point sits at approximately $4.7 million. The market here is characterized by thin inventory and infrequent transactions—in a typical quarter, only 3–6 homes change hands. This creates a market where timing, preparation, and off-market access matter more than price alone.

The peninsula’s geography is its defining constraint: there is no undeveloped land, no new subdivisions coming, and the total housing stock is fixed. Every transaction involves an existing home or a teardown-and-rebuild on an existing lot. This finite supply is the fundamental driver of long-term value.

Geography, Land & Long-Term Value

Yarrow Point occupies a narrow peninsula extending into Lake Washington, bounded by water on three sides. The community contains approximately 170 residential parcels, of which 30–35 have direct waterfront access. The distinction between waterfront and interior lots is the single most significant pricing variable.

Waterfront properties command a substantial premium—often 2x or more compared to interior lots of similar size. But even interior lots benefit from the peninsula’s quiet, dead-end street pattern and the sense of seclusion that comes from being surrounded by water on three sides.
