Best neighborhoods in Seattle

Ballard Way Seattle WAWell, that’s a matter of personal taste. I’m lucky to say that I get to live in my personal favorite Seattle neighborhood. The Emerald City gives you a great selection to choose from as each community has its own unique character. From formerly sleepy to now hip and highly sought after Ballard neighborhood, Seattle to Magnolia’s more relaxed pace of life to the polar opposite quirky Fremont neighborhood, the modestly self-proclaimed Center of the Universe.

Obviously nothing beats getting out and experiencing each neighborhood in person (preferably on foot) so you get a real feel for the vibe of each area….the smells, the sounds, the people, the cafes and the bars. In the meantime, if you can’t visit them in person right now here’s the next best thing… visit my Seattle neighborhood guide for lots of photos, useful links, Seattle real estate market statistics, walkability (Walkscore) plus information on school ratings.
