Conner Homes Unveils New Townhomes in High-Demand Seattle Suburbs

BELLEVUE, Wash. – April 17, 2026 – Responding to persistent demand for housing in the Puget Sound region, local homebuilder Conner Homes has announced it will begin accepting reservations for two new townhome communities in Snohomish and Black Diamond starting Saturday, April 25. The move signals a continued push into burgeoning suburban corridors as homebuyers, including many from the region's dominant tech and aerospace sectors, seek quality living spaces outside the urban core.

The two communities, Greenview Heights in Snohomish and Village Towns at Ten Trails in Black Diamond, offer new inventory in markets characterized by rapid population growth and a shortage of available homes. Early buyers are being offered pre-sale pricing and incentives, a strategy designed to generate early momentum in a competitive landscape.

"On Saturday, April 25th, Conner Homes will begin accepting reservations at Village Towns at Ten Trails and Greenview Heights in Snohomish," said Erin Fowler, President of Conner Homes, in a statement. "With a limited number of homes available at pre-sale pricing, early buyers will have the opportunity to secure favorable pricing and incentives ahead of the broader release."

Seattle's Expanding Suburban Frontier

The announcement comes as both Snohomish and King counties grapple with significant growth. Snohomish County's population is projected to swell by 350,000 residents by 2044, creating a need for an estimated 180,000 new housing units. This demographic pressure is compounded by an affordability gap, with the county's average home price of $760,000 posing a challenge for individuals with the average income of $67,000. New townhome construction is seen as a critical component in addressing this middle-market housing need.

Similarly, King County continues its upward trajectory, adding over 43,000 residents between 2023 and 2024 alone, driven largely by job growth in sectors like education, health services, and manufacturing. This expansion fuels the suburban boom, pushing development into communities like Black Diamond, which offer a balance of commutability and lifestyle amenities that are increasingly attractive to families and professionals.

Conner Homes' new developments are strategically positioned to capitalize on these trends. Both locations offer convenient access to major employment centers like Boeing, Amazon, and Microsoft, a key factor mentioned by the company for the popularity of these areas.

A Closer Look at the New Communities

In Snohomish, the Greenview Heights community will offer a collection of townhomes situated on a quiet street with convenient access to SR 9 and historic downtown Snohomish. The development addresses a clear market need; new construction townhomes in the area currently list from the high $500,000s to over $750,000, and Greenview Heights' pricing, expected to start in the low $700's, aligns with the upper end of this new-build market.

Homebuyers can select from three distinct floor plans ranging from a modest 1,334 to a spacious 2,174 square feet, with options for 2 to 5 bedrooms and up to 3.25 bathrooms. The inclusion of a private community park with a dog park and views of the Snohomish Valley adds a significant lifestyle component. The proximity to a nearby Safeway on SR9 further enhances its convenience for residents.

Meanwhile, Village Towns at Ten Trails marks the builder's latest contribution to the fastest-growing master-planned community in King County. Located in Black Diamond, Ten Trails is a significant regional development that has already seen the construction of over 1,000 homes. Conner Homes' new offering is expected to start in the mid $600's, a competitive price point in a community where homes from various builders can range from the mid-$400,000s to over $1 million.

The Village Towns floor plans are notably spacious for townhomes, ranging from 1,751 to 1,938 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms and 3.25 bathrooms. Standard features like a 2-car garage, covered deck, and quartz counters are included, but the builder also emphasizes unique exterior designs intended to provide a distinct aesthetic from typical townhome projects.

The Draw of the Master-Planned Lifestyle

The Village Towns community is deeply integrated into the broader vision of Ten Trails, which is designed as more than just a collection of houses. It is a 1,200-acre mixed-use environment built around community, recreation, and convenience. The master plan includes miles of walking trails, numerous parks, and a Civic Park that serves as a hub for community events like outdoor movie nights and concerts.

Conner Homes' site is uniquely positioned adjacent to a planned food truck park and is only a three-minute walk from a new 60,000-square-foot Safeway, which will anchor a 190,000-square-foot retail village. This proximity to amenities is a core part of the appeal, offering residents a walkable, integrated lifestyle. Furthermore, every home in Ten Trails is wired for 1-gigabit speed internet, a crucial feature for the many residents who work from home.

A Local Builder's Enduring Legacy

With nearly 70 years of experience in the Pacific Northwest, Conner Homes stands as one of the few remaining locally owned and operated homebuilders in the Seattle area. The company has built over 6,000 homes and has a history of pioneering innovative development concepts, such as "Zero Lot Line" communities. This deep local knowledge, which the company calls "The Conner Difference," informs its site selection and home design, emphasizing features like oversized windows to maximize natural light in the often-grey Pacific Northwest climate.

This long-standing presence allows the company to compete in a market populated by large national builders by leveraging its reputation for quality construction and its understanding of local buyer preferences. By launching Greenview Heights and Village Towns, Conner Homes is not just building houses; it is continuing its long tradition of shaping communities in a region that continues to be one of the most dynamic and desirable in the nation.
