Auburn is a South King County city with a Sounder commuter station, quick access to SR-167, and some of the more approachable single-family prices in the region. Use the search below to browse every active listing, or narrow by price to see what fits your budget.
Buyers can find more house and yard for the money here than in most of the Eastside, but condition, lot, and flood-zone status vary a lot from one neighborhood to the next. Sellers do best when they price to their specific neighborhood and home condition rather than the citywide median.

Auburn neighborhoods
Auburn’s neighborhoods range from walkable downtown blocks near the train station to master-planned hillside communities, and I have written a guide to each of them.
Lea Hill
A quiet plateau east of the Green River valley with homes built mostly in the 1990s through 2010s on wide, settled streets. It is car dependent, with Metro Route 181 connecting to Auburn Station.
West Auburn and Downtown
Older bungalows and Craftsman cottages from the early to mid 1900s sit on compact lots within reach of Auburn Station. It is the most walkable part of the city and one of its lower-priced areas for single-family homes.
Lakeland Hills
A master-planned community on Auburn’s south end that straddles the King and Pierce county line, with homes built mostly from the mid 1990s to 2015. HOA-maintained entries and common areas give it a uniform look.
Auburn Valley and East Main
An established area of mostly ranch and split-level homes from the 1960s to 1990s, often on quarter-acre or larger lots. Game Farm Wilderness Park is nearby for trails and river access.
Terrace View and North Auburn
Homes here are mostly from the 1960s to 1980s on larger lots, which makes it a value option for buyers who want space over newer finishes. Many first-time buyers and longtime residents look here first.
Cobble Creek
Custom-built two-story homes from about 1990 to the early 2000s sit near the Auburn Golf Course and the Green River. Lot size and golf course proximity tend to drive value more than in standard subdivisions.
The Bridges
A newer master-planned community on Lea Hill built by Oakpointe, with a trail system, a dog park, and protected wetlands. Homes backing onto green space or with mountain views often command a premium.
South Auburn
Along a commercial corridor near the Muckleshoot Reservation, this area has 1960s to 1990s homes and some of Auburn’s most affordable single-family prices. Condition and updates matter more here than in the newer subdivisions.
Getting around Auburn
Auburn Station is the biggest commuting asset, with Sounder trains reaching downtown Seattle in about 35 to 50 minutes without touching I-5 traffic, and Sound Transit and King County Metro buses feed the station from the hillside neighborhoods. Driving, the peak morning trip to Seattle is about 45 to 65 minutes, Bellevue is about 35 to 50 minutes via SR-167 and I-405, and Sea-Tac Airport is about 20 to 30 minutes. Green River Trail runs through the city for walking and biking, and parts of Auburn near the Green River sit in FEMA flood zones, so it is worth checking flood status and insurance costs on any home near the river.
Schools
Most of Auburn is served by the Auburn School District, while parts of south Auburn and Lakeland Hills fall in the Dieringer School District. Which schools a home is assigned to can change block by block, especially near downtown, so please verify boundaries with the district before you buy or list.
Questions I hear about Auburn
What is the median home price in Auburn?
About $664K for single-family homes and about $406K for condos over the 12 months through August 2026, Northwest MLS via InfoSparks.
Is Auburn in King County or Pierce County?
Most of Auburn is in King County, but Lakeland Hills on the south end straddles the King and Pierce county line. Confirm the county and school district for any specific address.
How long is the commute from Auburn to Seattle?
By Sounder train from Auburn Station it is about 35 to 50 minutes to downtown Seattle. Driving at peak morning hours is about 45 to 65 minutes.
Which Auburn neighborhoods are the most affordable?
Terrace View and North Auburn, West Auburn near downtown, and South Auburn tend to have the lower entry prices for single-family homes, mostly older homes from the 1900s through the 1980s. Prices shift with condition, so compare recent sales in the specific neighborhood.
Are there condos and townhomes in Auburn?
Yes, but they make up only about 14% of Auburn sales, so the supply is thinner than for single-family homes. Downsizers often look at smaller single-family homes or 55-plus communities as well.
Do I need flood insurance in Auburn?
Parts of Auburn near the Green River sit in FEMA flood zones, and flood insurance can add roughly $1,000 to $3,000 per year to housing costs. Check the flood map and get an insurance quote before you make an offer.
