North East of the University of Washington campus, one will happen upon the charming neighborhoods of Laurelhurst and Windermere. Seattle's Laurelhurst neighborhood was largely developed in the 1920’s and abounds in waterfront homes with delightful architecture. Surrounded by the waters of Lake Washington, many Laurelhurst homes command impressive views of Lake Washington and The Cascade Mountain Range. The private Laurelhurst Beach Club is an appealing feature with a swimming beach and lifeguard, sailing lessons, ping pong and a high dive. The adjacent neighborhood, Windermere, is recognized for large, manicured lots, its own beach club and quiet streets. Like Laurelhurst, Windermere real estate features some of Seattle's premier homes with views of Lake Washington and Mount Rainier. So if you want to wake up with and witness the sunrise over The Cascades, park your boat in front of your Lake Washington waterfront home, have access to your own neighborhood beach club, or enjoy shopping at the U Village, then a Laurelhurst home or Windermere property may be for you. Really, no matter what your preference, the Laurelhurst neighborhood and the Windermere neighborhood have a lot to offer when you are looking for you next home for sale or Seattle rental.
