Most people know Olympia as the capital of Washington, which is true, but there is a lot more to this city than just its governmental significance. This is also an extremely pretty place, found at the south end of Puget Sound. With easy access to I-5, residents of Olympia can head north to Seattle or south to Portland in short order. If you’d like to live on the waterfront but don’t want to pay the premiums associated with living in King County, Olympia waterfront homes are certainly worth considering.
As you embark on a search for an Olympia waterfront home, you’ll probably want to start your search with the Budd Inlet. This is the portion of Puget Sound which stretches down to meet Downtown Olympia. There are a number of stunning homes located long Budd Inlet, particularly on East Bay Drive. These homes don’t come cheaply, but they do tend to be more affordable than something similar in the Seattle area. While you will feel like you are out in a peaceful, quiet location while living along the water, it will only be a few minutes’ drive to get back to I-5.
Buyers looking for great waterfront opportunities in the Olympia area should also explore the properties found off of Cooper Point Road NW. This is an area on the west side of Budd Inlet, stretching to the north of Olympia Country and Golf Club. Properties on this peninsula can actually be located on Budd Inlet or Eld Inlet, depending on whether they are on the east or west side of the peninsula.
Aside from the opportunity to live on a stunning stretch of waterfront property, what else would make you want to live in Olympia? There’s plenty to draw you to this part of the Pacific Northwest. Of course, your work will have a lot to do with the decision, so those who work somewhere around the south end of Puget Sound will want to strongly consider Olympia. Also, if you like spending time at the ocean, Olympia is a great starting point for a quick day trip out to the Pacific. Or, you can head north around the west side of Puget Sound and into Olympic National Park. You won’t have to look hard for something fun to do in this area, and you’ll always be able to return home to your peaceful waterfront property. When you add it all up, this is a package that becomes pretty hard to turn down.
The more you learn about living in the Olympia area, the more there is to like. There are a variety of waterfront home options in an around Olympia, both on lakes and on the shores of Puget Sound. It’s still not cheap to live on the water when you head to Thurston County, but it is far more affordable than it is to the north. With the help of an experienced real estate agent to track down the right opportunities in Olympia, you may be able to find your dream home in the near future.
