Seattle Neighborhoods

Seattle WA real estate ranges from beachfront condos to historic Queen Anne tudors. Prospective home owners can choose downtown amenities-rich living, affluent suburban housing or a trendy bohemian neighborhood. Seattle real estate stands out because of its its housing stock that accommodates individuals who are on quest for distinction and a home that showcases their personalities.

West Seattle was the historic landing point of the state's first European settlers (the Denny Party) and remains a popular beach location today. The 2.5 mile shoreline is bathed in sunshine much like California – but has the magnificent Olympic Mountains as a backdrop for this summer landscape. Our Seattle real estate agents will show you scenic views and outdoor activities flock to, West Seattle to look out over Puget Sound or walk through Lincoln Park, while still enjoying easy access to the major highways.

Seattle WA Real Estate

Families in need of Seattle WA real estate often come to Wallingford, a residential nook at the southern edge of Green Lake, tucked between the trendy University District and the historic Fremont. Inviting sidewalk cafes and shops are around every corner and residents are just steps away from fishing, walking paths, wildlife viewing, boating and mini golfing. A children's park, glacial lakes at Green Lake Park and the Woodland Zoo all make this area an ideal location for family fun.

The University District is one of the oldest areas of seattle real estate, which still houses turn-of-the-century estates with tree-lined sidewalks and quaint cul-de-sacs. Since the University of Washington was built to accommodate 35,000 students, futuristic high-rises have moved in. "The Ave" and "The Village" has transformed the area into a hotbed for shopping, dining and entertainment.

Seattle Real Estate

Queen Anne is where most of the affluent suburban seattle real estate exists. The view of downtown Seattle is worth the $200,000 - $1 million dollar pricetags alone! The 19th century architecture has been carefully preserved since the wealthy boom during the 1800s and 1900s up on this 520-foot hill top. Queen Anne Avenue eventually leads to downtown but offers upscale boutiques, restaurants and bistros along the way. Residents can call the Space Needle and Kerry Park their very own.

Artists feel most at home in Fremont, the most artsy neighborhood in Seattle WA real estate. Situated next to Wallingford and Ballard, this fast-growing area showcases eclectic world class food, wild parades, parties and graffiti art. Visitors may catch a glimpse of nude cyclists or a 7-ton statue of Lenin! It's hard to tell why residents call this area "the center of the universe," rather than simply "out of this universe." Similarly, the neighborhood of Belltown houses a lot of other 20-something artists and musicians.

In Ballard, another old neighborhood, culture is celebrated with architecture, city planning and shops reminiscent of its Danish, Finish and Scandinavian roots. Cafes, pubs and one-of-a-kind stores make this area truly intriguing. The Ballard, Seattle WA real estate is steps away from Thai food, upscale dining and vegan thoroughfare. As one of the most popular neighborhoods, one can find a family-owned hardware store and a "green-living" shop just as easily as a world-class library or a fantastic view of the Olympic Mountains and beaches. In the summer time, people congregate at the Ballard Locks, the Arts Festival, the Nordic Heritage Museum or the Tractor Tavern, to name a few spots.
