Up in the Air

It’s all in the name: One of the best things about living in the Central District is how incredibly central you are to many of Seattle’s top destinations, whether you need to be close to major employers or want to be just a bus ride away from all of the action. Capitol Hill, First Hill, Downtown Seattle, the International District, Madrona and more are all easily within reach from here—you’re literally no more than 1 mile from adjacent neighborhoods in every direction! When you need to run errands, you can pick up groceries at PCC Community Markets (0.4 miles) or Amazon Fresh (0.6 miles). Some of the best dining and bars in the city is right in your backyard as well, whether you want to be in the heart of Capitol Hill on a Friday night, or grabbing a lowkey beer at Chuck’s Hop Shop is more your speed. And make sure you check out all of the latest happenings at 23rd & Union (just 0.4 miles away)—there are all kinds of newer restaurants, coffeeshops, boutiques, and neighborhood developments to check out.

There are a few not-to-miss amenities in this neighborhood we want to make sure and highlight! For starters, Garfield Playfield, Garfield Community Center, and Medgar Evars Pool are all literally just about a block away. That’s right—you’ve got easy access to a pool complete with a diving board and a sauna! We also think that Coyote Central (just around the corner) is a pretty cool spot—this organization provides unique classes for youth, including classes on filmmaking, architecture, welding, cooking, woodworking, stop motion animation, and more.

Public transit, commuting options via car, and more are aplenty from this central location. Need to get to First Hill, Downtown, or Queen Anne? The #3 bus will take you there, and it picks up about 1 block from home! There are several other buses in the area, and another great transit option is to hop on the Link light rail at the Judkins Station (1.2 miles away) when it opens in 2023. You can also be on Interstate-5 or Interstate-90 in just 5 minutes (it’s super easy to pop on over to Bellevue and other Eastside destinations), or reach Highway 520 in just 6 minutes. There’s also a Swedish Medical Campus just 0.3 miles away, and several more hospitals and medical facilities in nearby First Hill.

One of the most highly desired amenities buyers want these days is private outdoor space. This townhouse delivered not one but two outdoor getaways—here you’ll find a pretty patio on the ground level, and a spacious rooftop deck. Get the day started with a hot cup of coffee out in the fresh air, catch up on your vitamin D while you sunbathe in peace and quiet, and mix up drinks to sip up on the rooftop while the sun goes down.
