Crofton Springs, nestled in Issaquah Highlands, exemplifies a successful blend of sustainable design and community living, earning the 2006 Builder’s Choice Merit Award for innovation. The neighborhood comprises 121 residences designed in seven distinct architectural styles, enhancing its unique character while avoiding a uniform appearance. With a focus on pedestrian access, the design minimizes vehicle presence and promotes social interaction through public walkways and shared green spaces. Built Green-certified homes reflect the community's commitment to environmental responsibility and aesthetics. A central gazebo acts as a gathering place, encouraging neighborly connections through various social events.

The Crofton Springs Committee actively collaborates with the Issaquah Highlands Community Association to foster community spirit. Plans for events such as a Fourth of July contest and a Friendsgiving Buffet aim to engage residents and strengthen bonds. As the neighborhood evolves, its core values of intentional design and community connection remain steadfast.
