One of the reasons I love selling homes in Normandy Park is the diversity of home styles and price ranges. Here’s a look at a few things currently for sale in Normandy Park:

Darling 1930’s 3 bed/1bath craftsman listed for $275,000

Sprawling 3420 sq/ft 1960’s two-story listed for $450,000

Where is Normandy Park?

October 30, 2013Normandy Park, Real EstateKaren Williams

The City of Normandy Park is located west of SeaTac Airport, between Burien and Des Moines, along the shores of Puget Sound. According to the city website, Normandy Park encompasses about 2.5 square miles and is home to roughly 6500 people.

My husband and I moved here for the school, the parks, the beach, the swim club and the strong sense of community. We loved the “big-lots” and the diversity of home styles. Most of the homes here were built in the late 50’s and 60’s. The majority have been up-dated but I still see the occasional “vintage” green shag carpet, paneled basement and pink tiled bathroom.

The city’s convenient location to freeways, downtown Seattle and the airport is a big bonus. Our family can be at Safeco Field for a Mariner’s game in 20 minutes or the Westfield Shopping Mall in 10. When my husband returns from a business trip, he calls when his plane lands at SeaTac. I’m usually pulling up to his arrival gate just as he’s exiting the lower concourse.

Convenience… Community…. Character. These are just a few of the reasons we chose to make our home in Normandy Park.

Normandy Park Realtor Becomes Empty Nester and Neighborhood Blogger

Today marks the one month anniversary since my son Zach moved away to college. I won’t lie…it was hard the first couple of days he was gone. I cried, wandered in and out of his room, stared at my husband and two dogs and thought to myself, now what?

I started selling real estate when my son was two years old. It was hectic and at times I wasn’t above dragging him along on appointments, throwing him in the car to drive by a new listing or bribing him with the offer of a new toy if he would just be quiet while mommy finished her project, phone call or….you get the idea.

As my son got older he helped me with technology. He explained posts, tweets and snaps; He showed me how to work my I-phone and download my first App. Admittedly, his help often came with a roll of the eyes and a look that said “I can’t believe you don’t know how to do this, Mom!” I wondered out loud before he left, “Who is going to help me with this stuff when you’re not here?”

Well, I’ve been an empty nester for 1 month now and I’m proud to say I’m doing fine. I’m on fast-forward with plans to integrate more technology into my Real Estate business. My son taught me the basics: when you need to know something, you Google it; when you want to learn how to do something, you pull up a You Tube video; and when you have something to say, you tweet or blog about it.

First up is my new blog, LOVING LIFE IN NORMANDY PARK, where I’ll introduce you to my neighborhood and tell you why I’m so passionate about living and selling homes here. Grab a jacket and let’s go. It’s a beautiful time of year for a walk in the park.
