Overview
Cedardale is a rural and residential area south of Mount Vernon along Cedardale Road and nearby county routes. Properties commonly use a Mount Vernon mailing address, but significant portions of the area are outside the incorporated city limits.
Cedardale real estate may include older farmhouses, mid-century residences, acreage, small farms, homes with shops or barns, multifamily properties, manufactured homes where legally established, and vacant land.
The area provides access to Mount Vernon, Conway, Interstate 5, and southern Skagit County while retaining a more rural atmosphere than central Mount Vernon neighborhoods.
