Ballard: Places to enjoy in Ballard…Market Street, Hiram Chittendon Locks, Salmon Bay, and Golden Gardens Park. These are among many fun and relaxing places to go in this evolving Seattle community. The Norwegian influence shaped this warm and friendly neighborhood. Now it is growing even more popular as it offers well-priced homes and a touch of tasteful commercial development, like the Majestic Bay Theater.
 

Bryant/Ravenna: Tucked just north and east of the University of Washington, these sister neighborhoods offer charming homes and a strong sense of community. Shopping and dining can be wonderful experiences if you visit the incredible Whole Foods market, Swanson's nursery, and the Santa Fe Café. Furthermore, you'll be close to all the goings on at the University Village.

Capitol hill: Something for everyone…from the mansions on the north end to the studios and lofts at the south. Gorgeous tree lined streets, condos galore, Volunteer Park, eccentric Broadway, and views from all sides.

Central District: Amazing transformations have occurred in this area resulting in some of the highest appreciation rates in the city. Areas such as Madison Valley, Squire Park, Columbia City continue to draw those interested in building fast equity and living in an affordable in-city neighborhood.



Downtown: High-rise living in Continental Place, shopping at Pike Place Market, views from the Space Needle, dinner at Waterfront and a nightcap at the Cloud Room. Urban life with urban style.
Fremont: A culture of its own. This center of the universe is the home to the Troll, the statue of Lenin, and the Red Hook Brewery. Recent commercial growth has changed the landscape, but the soul remains in tact. Cool modern lofts and well-priced town homes are setting the residential stage, but artsy bungalows are still front and center.


Green Lake: Lions and tigers and bears, oh wait. Cyclists and strollers, and joggers, just wait. Take a 3-mile walk or visit the zoo. From 50th Avenue to 80th Avenue, this neighborhood offers it all. Beautiful homes surround the lake. Others are tucked on nearby streets or perched on the hill to the west. You'll never be short of things to do.
 

Laurelhurst & Windermere: Meandering streets, Lake Washington views, and magnificent estates. These neighboring communities offer stately homes with manicured landscapes situated comfortably along the shores of Lake Washington. The views, quiet streets, beach clubs, and nearby University Village make this a cherished and pricey home for new and long-time residents.

Madison Park: Along the shores of Lake Washington sits a beach like community filled with a plethora of shops, cafes, charming cottages and grandiose homes. Neighboring enclaves of Broadmoor, Washington Park, and Denny Blaine offer high-end estates along wooded streets and some magnificent southeasterly views of Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier.

Magnolia: At the far end of Magnolia is Discovery Park, Seattle's largest park overlooking the Puget Sound. The park is a destination of all in the city. Its neighbors include expansive homes with views, ramblers with lush landscapes, and a number of condominiums. Surrounded by water, Magnolia is home to those who cherish the village and worship the tranquility of this in-city neighborhood along the Puget Sound.
 

Maple Leaf: An unassuming neighborhood just northeast of Green Lake and minutes to downtown. This area features a number of fantastic parks, wonderful neighborhood restaurants and friendly neighborhood businesses. Still a very affordable area, Maple Leaf has a lot to offer in terms of housing styles, such as craftsman bungalows, post war ramblers, and tasteful new construction.
 

Montlake & Portage Bay: Walk the shores of Portage Bay and the Montlake Cut, visit the yacht club, enjoy the beauty of the arboretum, and enjoy a cup of coffee at the local market. A beautiful and quiet neighborhood tucked in the middle of the city: Montlake and Portage Bay offer tree-lined streets, well cared for gardens, and countless Tudors, craftsman bungalows along with a smattering of modern architecture. The close proximity to the city coupled with the cozy neighborhood feel makes this area special.
 


Queen Anne Hill: The area’s charms are numerous and unique, even as the landscape rapidly transforms. It offers tremendous views of the mountains and water. From some streets, the Space Needle appears to float over the city. The views and its proximity to downtown, the Seattle Center and an abundance of restaurants and parks distinguish Queen Anne from many other Seattle neighborhoods.
 

Wallingford: Wallingford Center, Mariana’s restaurant, and Dick’s Deluxe…neighborhood icons. This tight-knit neighborhood grooves as one and moves independent from the Seattle evolution. It seems to maintain its earthy appeal and vibrant energies to be a cohesive connected neighborhood in the heart of the city. The neighborhood includes everything from modest bungalows to impressive estates. Wallingford is convenient to everything in the city and continues to attract a variety of businesses and homeowners.
 

West Seattle: The northwestern point of West Seattle is Alki, the birthplace of the city of Seattle. Its exposed frontage created a challenging environment in the early days, but the energy and persistence of the residents allowed them to remain and expand to the south to create a proud community. Not only do its residents enjoy the beach and views, but visitors from all areas flock to the unique point on every sunny day. The impressive view homes, the charming bungalows, and the sought-after condominiums continue to draw residents once destined for the other areas.
