About the Building

Harbor Lights at 515 Lake St S is a 1965 three-story building of 28 homes on the Lake Street corridor, within walking distance of downtown Kirkland and Marina Park.

City permit records confirm association dock and piling infrastructure, and current listings report an outdoor pool, elevator, fire sprinklers and a laundry room. The combination of a lake orientation and downtown walkability is unusual at this scale and price tier.

Waterfront & Moorage

  • City permit records confirm association dock and piling infrastructure. A deeded slip should not be assumed for any individual residence.

Shoreline, dock and moorage rights are established by the governing documents and vary by residence. They should be confirmed before purchase.

Rental & Investment Rules

Rental flexibility can materially affect both investment use and future resale. A building with no rental cap may still require a minimum lease term or prohibit short-term rentals.

Building Rental Cap
No building rental cap · observed practice
Current Cap Status / Waitlist
No rental cap in older NWMLS-distributed listing evidence. This rests on observed listing evidence rather than a governing document, so it should be confirmed against current HOA documents.

Important

No Rental Cap ≠ Short-Term Rental

A building can allow an unlimited number of owners to lease their residences while still requiring a 30-day, three-month, six-month, twelve-month, or longer minimum lease. Rental-cap percentage and minimum lease duration are separate rules and should always be reviewed independently.
