Subdivision

Bethel Park

Bethel Park is a small detached-home subdivision on Bethel Park Court NE. Its 2006 housing sample offers a different starting point from the older homes elsewhere in Northeast Olympia.

Construction context: County residential sample: 18 year-built values, 2006–2006, median 2006. This is assessor context, not a certified buildout history.

Documented builder(s): Not established in the primary sources reviewed. Original permits and lot-specific construction records are needed before attributing a builder.

Other builders may also have contributed; not all home and phase records have been reconciled.

Housing detail: Detached-home subdivision; the 18 residential lots sampled have a 0.13-acre median. Individual size, layout and usable yard vary.

Shared rights & responsibilities: Recognized homeowners association. Verify the home’s membership, current dues, budget, reserves, insurance, rules and shared-maintenance obligations from current documents.
