Commute

Hwy 18, SR-167, and I-5 all run through Auburn. The Sounder Train connects to Seattle and Tacoma.

• Entry mid $400Ks to $600Ks
• Mid−range $600Ks to $800Ks
• High end $900Ks to $1.2M+

As of 2026.

Worth knowing

The Soos Creek Trail network — long, quiet greenbelt paths connecting neighborhoods.

Who Auburn isn't for

Auburn isn’t the right fit if you want a walkable urban lifestyle or fast access to Seattle nightlife.

What's changed lately
