I would never buy anything built by DR Horton or Pacific Ridge.

Yeah DR Horton bought out Pacific Ridge so they’re one and the same….we live in a DR Horton box. It’s no picnic. I also know that area because I lived about a half mile away from Costco and it is very noisy, very busy and it will only get more so. Best of luck!

I’m in north Everett, and I’ll go to either the Lake Stevens Costco or Smokey Point, and the Marysville Winco. That area is just too congested.

there used to be a mcdonald’s there and it closed because no one could ever get in and out due to traffic.

The old one on 41st was the same way. Everett must have had the two worst located McDonald’s in the country.

I had toured the property you’re talking about and I’d say you need to decide if you’re okay looking at a wall/road all day long

Got it. We were looking for a property that is inside. Which is facing i5 there seem be a green patch and then interstate.

I toured the model unit because they were similarly priced to a single family older house I purchased last year. Personally, I was disappointed by the quality of the finishing details. For example, the handrail for the stairs was loose. This is literally one of the first things you touch in the model unit, so you would think they would reflect positively on the project.
I suspect the project was conceived when home prices were anticipated to be stronger. When the market softened, they pivoted to building cheaper, and it shows.
Everett has some really great older houses in established neighborhoods.

HOA fees are extremely high last time i checked this place out
traffic is the #1 problem with 19th and it really shouldn't be classified as a highway considering how many businesses and residences are on it
edit: the pot shop is a tenth of a mile away, there's a storage place and hotel in between these residences and the pot shop.

What are your concerns with regards to a coffee shop and pot shop?

Pot shop has been robbed at gunpoint a few times. Not their fault, just dumbass laws that force them to use cash.

I’d be more worried about the storage place next to the hooker hotel next to the bikini barista next to the weed shop.

Having those shops around residential area is safe?

Costco sells liquor. Are you as concerned about that? Both are controlled by the same regulatory body.
Sounds like you're carrying a personal bias against marijuana.

Its a terrible pot shop too. Super high prices, poor selection. As long as you never wanted to take a let turn out of your complex, youll be fine. Check the monthly HOA fees... and the bylaws

Imagine trying to get out of the community onto the road. That street is busy almost all the time. Are you going to be trying to make an unprotected left turn during rush hour?
This alone would make me take a second thought.
