Stay away from Skyway.

I'm on the East Renton Plateau (Septro is even further east), which is very close to the Renton Highlands. The Highlands are nice, if you stay towards the southern border (NE 4th) and head east a little. The Highlands along Sunset has been labeled a "blighted area" by the city. Don't go there!

Benson Hill is nice, as is Fairwood. Cascade Center, not so much. Basically, stay in the 98059 zip code (which includes Newcastle) and 98058.

There is a new small development being built just up the street from me, and they are supposed to be under $300,000. I don't know when they will be ready though.


You can even get new construction for under $300,000 in the Highlands:
Honey Brooke new construction They even claim to have a 4 car garage! It is a development of small homes though (under 1,500 square feet.)
