Owning Mercer Island waterfront is a rewarding, fun and sometimes challenging endeavor, simply because Mercer Island has as many varieties of waterfront properties, as there are individuals. The facts are, that no two waterfront properties are exactly a like, even when side by side.  The unique topography of the Island offers many different sizes of waterfront properties which have varied views, slopes and amenities having a direct effect on values.  This Guide to Mercer Island Waterfront offers answers to many of the questions that come up about how the waterfront property can be used, and how the differences of each property can effect values.  For more specific information about a property, please contact
