The Ravenna area is mostly family living and older folks retiring. It is close to the hustle of the city but far enough to feel suburb. It is quiet at night and most places are closed by 8 but there is Ravenna Brewing for some night life. The nearby U-Village is great for shopping, activities, and food. There is plenty of outdoor places to be including Ravenna Ravine and Magnuson Park, great for walking around and getting some nature.

This is a great neighborhood to grow up in. There are many good schools in the area and a lot of families. The community is very friendly and welcoming. Many neighbors have block parties multiple times a year to connect and catch up with one another. Everyone knows who lives on the block and their dogs names. I am very fortunate to have been raised in a great location.
