Seattle's Queen Anne Neighborhood

Queen Anne is an affluent neighborhood just north of downtown Seattle, with rows of historic homes in the "Queen Anne' style of architecture. The neighborhood lies on a hill and has iconic views of the Space Needle on the South Side and Lower Queen Anne. If you don't own a home there, you can always look out at the very popular Kerry Park view point. Lower Queen Anne leads to the Seattle Center, which includes the Space Needle, Key Arena and Pacific Science Center, so activities are always ongoing.

Lower Queen Anne has more density compared to the rest of the neighborhood, with lots of condominiums and apartment buildings. Queen Anne proper is filled with rows and rows of old homes, townhouses and a multi-use buildings. Queen Anne Ave runs north-south, dotted with neighborhood amenities such as grocery and hardware stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. Many buses run hourly through Queen Anne and it is just minutes away from downtown, making this a very commuter-friendly neighborhood.
