Older Streets North of Downtown
The Market and Norkirk neighborhoods sit just north of downtown, on streets laid out early in Kirkland's history, with some of the city's older homes among newer infill. Older houses bring older plumbing, original hardwood and the occasional basement that was never meant to be living space. Tall street trees fill gutters every fall. A leak in this part of town often involves floors and finishes owners care a lot about keeping.
The Houses Here
Homes range from early-twentieth-century houses and mid-century bungalows to new construction on redeveloped lots. Original hardwood, plaster in some of the oldest houses, and basements finished long after construction are common.
Where Water Comes From in Market & Norkirk
- Older supply lines and drains in long-standing homes
