Washington’s most expensive towns aren’t just rich in views—they’re rich in property value too. According to the Zillow Home Value Index, 35 communities across the state now rank at the top for home prices in 2025. From waterfront enclaves to tech-fueled suburbs, these places reflect long-term growth, lifestyle demand, and real estate markets that never really cooled off. Some climbed fast, others stayed pricey all along—but all of them now carry the state’s biggest price tags.

Friday Harbor home prices have nearly doubled since 2010, despite cooling slightly in the past two years. The biggest gains came between 2020 and 2022, when remote work fueled demand for scenic, less crowded areas. Though 2023 saw a drop, home values remain high, and the 2025 average still hovers near $886K — a strong showing for a remote island town.

Friday Harbor – Island Living With Premium Appeal

Located in the scenic San Juan Islands, Friday Harbor offers a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by natural beauty. The island is accessible by ferry, and its relative remoteness hasn’t slowed demand. Home prices rose sharply during the pandemic, driven by second-home buyers and retirees. Despite recent declines, the town remains among the priciest in Washington due to its exclusivity and limited housing supply.

The harbor itself is a draw for yachters and whale watchers alike, and the charming downtown features art galleries, local cafés, and waterfront views. There’s also a regional airport, which adds convenience for visitors and part-time residents. These amenities, paired with serene island life, help sustain high property values even as the broader market cools.

Eastsound – Orcas Island’s Pricey Heart

As the largest town on Orcas Island, Eastsound attracts buyers with its village charm, panoramic views, and proximity to outdoor adventures. Its housing market benefited from a post-2020 migration of remote workers and retirees seeking tranquility without giving up modern conveniences. The area’s tourism economy also supports year-round activity and income potential.

Limited inventory and strict development regulations contribute to high property values. Though the market cooled slightly in 2023–2025, Eastsound’s desirability remains strong, especially for second-home buyers. With ferry access and local art, dining, and music scenes, the town combines island seclusion with cultural vibrancy.

Hunts Point – Washington’s Most Expensive Zip Code

With fewer than 500 residents and a peninsula location on Lake Washington, Hunts Point is as exclusive as it gets. The town is comprised almost entirely of sprawling estates with lake frontage, boat docks, and total privacy. It’s an enclave built for CEOs, investors, and tech billionaires.

While nearby Medina also commands attention, Hunts Point edges it out with even larger estates and less public access. The town is connected to the Eastside by a single road, further enhancing its gated, secluded atmosphere. It’s no surprise that Hunts Point has the highest home prices in the state — and it’s not close.
