Bryant

This mainly residential community is full of immensely charming houses.  There are a few areas around the University Village and along 35th Avenue that contain businesses. This is a great place to be if you enjoy the surrounding neighborhoods but like to be in a quieter location.

Hawthorne Hills

This well situated neighborhood simply offers the good life.  Surrounding areas such as the University District, Ravenna, and Wedgwood neighborhoods all have plenty of things to do and are within easy reach and from the bottom of the hill, it’s easy to hop on the famous Burke-Gilman trail.

Lake City

As one of the most populous and spread out neighborhoods in the city, there’s something for everyone in Lake City. It’s main thoroughfare, Lake City Way, bisects the neighborhood and is the best place to go if you want a bustling atmosphere. New condos and businesses mixed with the timeless retro establishments.

Laurelhurst

Laurelhurst streets wind peacefully through the neighborhood and homes are situated within cul-de-sacs. Only the views from the top of the hill let you know you’re in a big city. It’s a short commute to get to areas like the University District and even downtown. This is a close-knit community where everyone is on the lookout for what’s best for their neighbors.

Maple Leaf

This place is every bit as quaint and wholesome as the name implies. Perfect for families and those who want to live in a tightly knit community, Maple Leaf is a gem of Northeast Seattle, and has even been recognized nationally as a model neighborhood.  You definitely get the feeling that this is a true community.

Matthews Beach

This residential area is home to one of North Seattle’s most popular lakeside hangouts as well as some pretty swanky houses. You can tell that the people who live here have a respect for nature. Houses are tucked into the shade of giant old evergreen trees and the Burke-Gilman is woodsier than in other parts of the city. Just south of the beach, the natural habitat has been restored to be friendlier to native plants and animals.

Northgate

As one of the largest neighborhoods in north Seattle, Northgate has it all. The mall obviously sees the most action, and with the addition of the new condo complex and movie theaters, the area has even more appeal to potential residents.

Ravenna

This charming neighborhood that takes its name from this street is the perfect place to call home.  It’s is a remarkably quiet neighborhood, considering how close it is the U-District and the very active Greenlake.’ A small stretch of 65th Street near 20th Ave NE provides just enough area activity and entertainment. Ravenna is also proud to call the “U-Village” shopping center part of its neighborhood.

Roosevelt

The Roosevelt community contains a central location, vibrant business district, and adorable houses. The surrounding blocks have a mix of newer apartments/condos and original homes from the early 1900s. It’s a great neighborhood to enjoy on its own.

View Ridge

This primarily residential area is perched on the top of the hill and contains tranquil, well-kept houses with large yards and street roundabouts. It’s a great place to be if you want a little less traffic and city.  As an added bonus, if you’re the ‘active’ type of person, Sand Point County Club and View Ridge Swim and Tennis Clubs are both located in this community.

Wedgwood

Whether you spell it “Wedgwood” or “Wedgewood”, this is a great neighborhood!  No matter where you go, signs on street corners shout, “Wedgwood Welcomes You!”  A great place for families or anyone who wants a quiet and cozy environment, but still want to be close enough to the action of the city. You’ll find modest houses that occasionally give way to pockets of bustling streets with fantastic shops and restaurants.

Windermere

Windermere is an upscale neighborhood with great views and a private atmosphere that’s located on the shores of Lake Washington.  This secure and private neighborhood houses some of the most impressive estates in the city. There aren’t many community events, and you won’t find a business district, but when you’re there, you don’t feel like you’re missing out on a single thing.

Shoreline

Shoreline is appealing for commuters and anyone who wants to claim “Northeast Seattle” as their home.  Shoreline stakes pride in its recreation activities and boasts over 330 acres of parks and open space. The Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, for example, gives access to Puget Sound and has a sandy beach—pretty rare in this area.
