Queen Anne Real Estate

Perched on top of the highest hill in Seattle is the popular neighborhood of Queen Anne. With an elevation of approximately 450 feet above sea level, it's not hard to guess why Queen Anne real estate is at a premium. Sweeping views of Mount Rainier, downtown Seattle, the Cascades, the Space Needle, and the waterfront strike would-be homebuyers with awe.

Situated between Elliott Bay, Lake Union, the Ship Canal, and Denny Way, the streets of Queen Anne host a mix of multi-million dollar mansions, bungalows in need of repair, and new home and condominium construction built to take advantage of the cityscape.

What can you expect to pay for Queen Anne real estate? The pricing is as varied as the housing choices, but in general you'll be looking at $400,000 and up. View property on the south side of Queen Anne starts at $1M. The north side of Queen Anne is less expensive, but you won't enjoy views like those of your southern neighbors. The average single family home or condo sold in February 2006 for $431,850.

While affluence is a given on Queen Anne, pretension is in short supply. Friendly people are everywhere – in the grocery stores, coffee shops, boutiques, bars, and trendy restaurants. Kerry Park is a small respite on the southern slope of Queen Anne hill. Popular with photographers, the park is also a favorite among the locals who often stop by for a breathtaking look at the Seattle skyline.

Unfortunately, getting around Queen Anne can be a challenge. Residents walk to most destinations because parking is often hard to come by. Regular bus service does make it easy to hop downtown. A somewhat self-contained community, Queen Anne has spirit, character, and a fabulous location. For a comfortable atmosphere and priceless views, consider Queen Anne real estate a bargain at any price.
