The neighborhood’s luxury lofts and condominiums offer unequaled views of Elliott Bay, the Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Residents enjoy a walkable, vibrant environment with a mix of residential buildings, retail shops, and parks.
Capitol Hill
Capitol Hill is an eclectic neighborhood northeast of Downtown Seattle. Some of Seattle’s oldest and most elegant homes are located in the area surrounding Volunteer Park on North Capitol Hill. In contrast, Broadway and the Pike/Pine corridor are vibrant commercial areas that include a mix of single-family homes, condos, and apartments. Thus, you can find an affordable co-op on west slope of Capitol Hill or a luxury mansion on North Capitol Hill. For more details contact a Seattle real estate agent who knows the neighborhood best.
Bellevue
Bellevue, Washington’s 5th largest city, is located on the east side of Lake Washington. In addition Bellevue is just a few miles from Downtown Seattle and serves as the hub of the Eastside. Bellevue is attractive to homebuyers for its generously sized lots on quiet streets. Furthermore, the area has a reputation for great schools and for its rapidly growing downtown commercial core. Many Bellevue homes here feature views of Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains.
