Waterfront Condominium Market Analysis Report
February 2026
The North & Northeast Lake Washington waterfront corridor continues to be one of the region’s most tightly held and lifestyle‑driven condominium markets. This North & Northeast Waterfront Condominium Review highlights how four standout communities—Marina Cove, Inglewood Shores, Harbour Village, and Rose Pointe—are performing as we move through early 2026. Each community offers a distinct blend of views, amenities, and long‑term livability, from Marina Cove’s elevated marina panoramas to the quiet, restful outlooks at Inglewood Shores and the unit‑specific but often impressive views at Rose Pointe. With limited inventory and steady buyer demand, this segment remains one of the most competitive along Lake Washington’s shoreline.
