Buying or selling in Anacortes, WA isn’t about choosing a “best” neighborhood—it’s about choosing the right neighborhood for your lifestyle. Anacortes is a collection of micro-markets, and each area attracts a different type of buyer.

Understanding what buyers want most gives you a major advantage.

Skyline & Burrows Bay continue to draw strong demand for waterfront living, island and bay views, marina access, and larger custom homes. Limited inventory and lifestyle appeal help support long-term value.

Old Town Anacortes attracts buyers who want walkability, charm, and character. Proximity to restaurants, coffee shops, events, and the ferry terminal makes this area popular with full-time residents, second-home buyers, and investors.

Cap Sante offers elevated views and close proximity to downtown without full waterfront pricing. Homes overlooking the Guemes Channel often see steady buyer interest, even with partial or filtered views.

West Anacortes appeals to buyers looking for newer construction, larger floor plans, quieter streets, and proximity to schools and parks—making it a favorite for families and move-up buyers.

Across all neighborhoods, buyers consistently prioritize water views or trail access, functional floor plans, low deferred maintenance, garage space, and a strong neighborhood feel.

For sellers, this matters because two similar homes can perform very differently based on street location, elevation, orientation, and neighborhood perception. Citywide averages don’t tell the full story—micro-market knowledge does.
