264th Ave Northeast, Vincent / Patterson

This is a beautiful street with exclusive homes. The Broadhurst community is found off Ames Lake Road and is about halfway between Redmond and Fall City. The local school district is Snoqualmie Valley for most of Broadhurst, which is quite a commute for the kids on the school bus. Parents here are unhappy about the long commute – particularly for the little ones. Some streets nearby are even in the Lake Washington school district. It is quite a confusing set-up, related to the boundaries being mapped out before the addition of new schools in the area. Petitions are being put forth regarding changing the boundaries but this would affect local school taxes for citizens and land values if the petitions were to be approved.

The homes themselves are set really far apart on small acreage. There is a sense of community - people watch out for each other, their kids and their pets. It is very quiet and peaceful here – a pleasant place to take a stroll and form friendships. If you don't mind getting to know your neighbors, this is a beautiful place to live.
