Located at 4743 21st Ave NE in Seattle's vibrant University District, this efficiently designed one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit offers a thoughtful layout that maximizes every inch of its compact footprint. Warm-toned hardwood floors run throughout the space, lending a clean and inviting aesthetic that ties the rooms together cohesively. The main living and sleeping area features notably tall ceilings that create an airy, open feel despite the intimate scale of the unit. Multiple windows admit generous natural light, brightening the neutral-toned walls and enhancing the sense of openness. A built-in kitchenette is neatly tucked along one wall, outfitted with white cabinetry, a microwave, and a compact refrigerator — providing all essential amenities in a streamlined footprint. Built-in wall shelving and a fold-down desk offer practical, space-efficient storage and workspace solutions within the bedroom area. A sliding glass-panel closet door provides access to dedicated wardrobe storage without intruding on the living space. The private bathroom features a white vanity with under-cabinet storage, an overhead medicine cabinet, and a shower, all finished in a clean, functional style. The overall ambiance of the unit is bright, minimal, and well-organized — well-suited for those seeking a practical and comfortable residence in one of Seattle's most walkable neighborhoods.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
