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
“HOLIDAY HILLS” has 61 county records with a year built from 1901–1989, median 1967; sampled residential lots have a 0.28-acre median (61 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.
The sampled county records include LAKEHURST DR SE, LAKEWOOD DR SE in Olympia. These are sampled records, not a mapped neighborhood boundary.
Questions to take to a showing
- Are the water view, beach path, dock or road rights recorded for this parcel, or are they simply nearby?
