Acreage is the median of positive lot-size observations below 100 acres coded RES in the research, not a measurement of every home lot. Samples can be incomplete or overlap; do not add them to calculate community totals. Confirm the actual parcel, original permit, additions and recorded map before relying on a date or size.
Evidence: history documented. Development dates, association formation and individual home completion are separate facts. Research updated October 10, 2026.

Questions to take to a showing
The useful details
What changes from one home to the next?
This is a named subdivision. The recorded plat, phase and parcel explain the legal footprint; the community name alone does not establish a home’s age, builder or shared rights.
What the records show
The county research keeps 9 recorded-name groups separate. “CANTERBURY DIV 5” has 13 county records with a year built from 1978–1983, median 1979; sampled residential lots have a 0.34-acre median (13 observations); “CANTERBURY DIV 4” has 11 county records with a year built from 1974–1977, median 1976; sampled residential lots have a 0.27-acre median (11 observations). These assessor samples help compare building eras, but do not establish the first or last home in a subdivision or the permit history of an individual address. 7 additional groups appear in the table below.
The sampled county records include WEDGEWOOD DR SE, DANBURY CT SE, SE VISTA ST and 1 more street names in Olympia. These are sampled records, not a mapped neighborhood boundary.
Questions to take to a showing
- Which recorded plat, phase and lot does the address belong to?
- What year does the assessor record for this house, and which additions or major replacements have permits?
- Does the builder evidence apply to this specific lot and phase, and what warranty documents remain?
