Very close to cute shops and parks, as well as to the University of Washington ; but still feels like a family neighborhood. Great local transportation within walking distance and awesome grocery stores all around.

great neighborhood, walk to parks, stores, restaurants. I've lived here all my life. It feels like a suburb, but just steps to an urban feel. Very close to the University of Washington, and a 10 minute drive to downtown.

I love the neighborhood that I live in. Everyone is very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, I live by a ravine, where a lot of homeless people live, so my car was broken into when I first moved here. Besides the burglary, everything about my neighborhood is great.

Love this neighborhood. Great and easy to walk to interesting places. Went to the local high school and had a great experience. Feels very safe and a nice community overall.
