Live Where You Play
At the end of five hours out on the course, the last thing any golfer wants to do is fight evening traffic on the freeways. That’s why a growing number of courses are teaming up with real estate developers to provide affordable housing options for golfers — right alongside the fairway.
Imagine stepping off the 18th green and not even bothering to change your shoes as you head across the parking lot, bypass your car and continue right through your front door and onto your couch. That’s not just a dream for the country club set — indeed, it’s reality every day for golfers at courses throughout the region.
One such partnership is between Harbour Pointe Golf Club in Mukilteo and The Fairview Condos. Opening in 2008, the Fairview overlooks the first tee at Harbour Pointe, one of the Northwest’s top public courses.
With views of the golf course and Puget Sound, easy access to I-5, I-405 and the Mukilteo ferry, but significantly lower costs than a similar condo or even a single-family home closer to the city, locations such as Fairview Condos can prove to be a no-brainer for the golfer looking to maximize both their playing and living budgets.
Seamark Properties, Inc., which owns the Fairview, is hardly the first company ever to think of combining housing with golf. The difference is that where most developers choose to cater to golf’s financial upper class, building high-end, gated communities and lavish on-course mansions, Seamark has instead taken the pulse of the Harbour Pointe players, and recognizes that these are not golfers looking to drop half a million on a home.
In otherwords … you. Hey, just because we write mostly about golf doesn’t mean we’re not looking out for you in other ways, too. Just don’t ask us to mow the lawn.
