If you have arrived here looking for the official homepage of Northshore Townhomes in Kenmore, their website is no more. You may want to check out , instead.
The following thread chronicles the amusing and sad tale of this out-of-place and horribly marketed townhome development in Kenmore. Enjoy.
----- end of update -----
is an 86-unit townhome development that is nearing completion. totally cracked me up.
"Just 12 miles from Bellevue Square" (oh and by the way just from which broadcasts their auctioneers on loudspeakers pointed right at you).
And what's with the happy smiling couple super-obviously photoshopped in front of a seaplane? Have they actually been down to the waterfront here in Kenmore? It's pretty much entirely industrial all around the Kenmore Air harbor, all the way to Log Boom park (which is nice, but rather small).
, asking $365k. The listings proudly proclaim that "the new Village By The Lake city center will be blocks away." Who knows when this so-called "village" will really be built. It's been Kenmore's pie-in-the-sky dream for years now, and all we have to show for it is an empty park & ride lot and some pretty drawings.
I wonder how low they'll be able to drop the prices before they start to face losses. Looks like they . Napkin calculation... 86 units, average $325k... if they get current asking they'll take in around $28 million. What do you figure construction cost them? $5 million? $10 million?
In any case, I really am interested to see if they manage to sucker people into these things at the current prices.
