Cooper Point, The Penninsula and It's Neighborhoods
Cooper Point is a very diverse and desirable West Side Olympia area. The peninsula is made up of many residential neighborhoods, as well as rural, agricultural and waterfront properties. Geography is the primary reason for the areas popularity, with a very short commute to the freeway, downtown Olympia, and shopping at the Capital Mall.
The neighborhoods of Cooper Point are too numerous to list here, some of the more popular are Cooper Crest, Gold Crest, and Country Club. Cooper Crest is one of the newest, and has been very popular with home buyers. If you are looking for larger lots, and more upscale homes, Gold Crest and Country Club are also off of Cooper Point Rd. Gold Crest is minutes from the freeway and the mall, Country club is a little further out, and is located on the City of Olympia Golf course, and features a number of homes that are on the water.
Rural land is still available on Cooper Point, and will probably remain rural. The County, as well as the city of Olympia, have been re-vamping their land use policies; it is expected that much of what is currently rural will be re-zoned to a housing density of one per five acres, with smaller lots being “grandfathered” in order for them to continue to exist. What this means to homebuyers looking for close in, yet rural property is that they won’t have to worry about encroaching “urban” development.
If you are looking to relocate, or want to spread your wings a little, and still be close in to Olympia and the freeway, Cooper Point is a great place to start your search.
