Mondavio is positioned in a very cool site in my opinion - just east of 202 and overlooking Willows Run golf course or thereabouts. Very close to downtown redmond but with a cool view too boot - sounds like a great spot.

Back when they started this one my wife and I drove around a bit. Not much to look at back then (just starting and maybe only a couple of houses finished) but I imagine that it has filled out quite well now.

From searching the MLS with a map, you can see that there are some much bigger and more expensive houses that appear to be in the same development. I found a web site for this (Vistas Mondavio) and I will do a separate post about it.

Prescott

Prescott built by Murray Franklyn

• Price range: 700s - 800s
• Construction type: SFH
• Square footage: 3000s - 4000s

MLS Listings

This new development is up in the English Hill area, which seems to be generally understood by the locals to be north of Education Hill (up around NE 124th St). There are a lot of homes up here that were built over the last 30 years, and it is a nice neighbourhood.

These sound like big houses (some over 4000 square feet, which feel big to a condo dweller such as myself). I am not sure how big the yards are at all, and I have not seen anything pop up on the MLS yet.

Evergreen Lane

• Price range: 600s - 800s
• Construction type: SFH
• Square footage: 2000s

This new development is near Microsoft and Grasslawn Park off of 148th Ave NE, and so is very attractive to folks working in that area (such as myself), of which there is no shortage of.

Considering the location and the nice greenbelts nearby I should go over there and pay a visit at some time. This is a very nice neighbourhood and will have a good commute.

Whistler's Ridge

Whistler's Ridge built by John F Buchan Homes

• Price range: 800s - 900s
• Construction type: SFH

This is another of the Buchan developments up on Education hill that has been built in the past few years.

There are a good range of sizes of house up there, and there are still some being constructed desite already feeling like a mature community.

Northstar

Builder: Lozier
Website: Link

Price range: $700's to $800's
Construction type: SFH
Square footage: 3000s to 4000s

MLS Listings

28159490 (also listed as 28158898)

I looked at a Northstar model home a couple of years ago. The size of the houses seem very good for a family with a couple of kids, and the yards are about medium sized for the area (not the 1 metre deep affairs you see at some places, but not on an acre either).

Aspen Ridge

This project is one of many up on 116th street in Redmond that started in the past few years. Buchan actually have 3 projects in this area (I will be putting those up soon as well). I drove past this development recently and there are still some houses under construction.

I have not been inside any of these, but the photos of the place on the MLS look very nice, especially the flooring and kitchens. One of the listings has a lot in the 5000s of square feet, and while it does not appear level it does appear to be a good enough size to toss a ball with a rugrat.
