In today's video, I am breaking down the top 5 most popular neighborhoods in Seattle to live in. There are SO many great neighborhoods, but I have found these 5 are the most common that my clients ask about moving to. Each provides great walkability, easy commutes, and plenty of housing options at every price point.

    FYI to people watching this and who don’t know Seattle, Monica covered five of the trendiest neighborhoods, but Seattle is full of neighborhoods filled with the mega rich, which are full of quaint and giant mansions. Seattle is an incredibly wealthy and beautiful city, but one which definitely prices out those who can’t earn a high six-figure salary.

    As someone who delivers in all four neighborhoods you just mentioned, your soooo ON point 🙏🏾 I ABSOLUTELY looooove Queen Anne, If my wallet could afford it I would buy a old historic Queen Anne home ahhh to live the dream 🤌🏼✨❤️ To ppl not from Washington: If your a young quirky person looking for a city life/ but still enjoying some outdoors, Fremont / Greenlake is the way to go. If your looking to work from home, suburban life, and neighborhood that’s quiet choose Ballard or Wallingford! If you have BANK 💰💰and you want water front views, but still somewhat close to the city, choose Queen Anne. I really have learned to love all these neighborhoods. ❤

    I agree, that west Seattle has become more expensive I believe that’s why less young people are living here and it’s more people in there early 30s and above. Idk plus the fact that there’s fewer decent places to eat, it’s less townhomes and more single family houses. Not to mention the increase in vandalism and crime that’s happening more here in def not gonna be living in west Seattle much longer 😂

    Seattle used to be known as a city with a high number of single unit lots. Especially in the north end. They were rezoned over a decade ago. I know a ton of people who sold their old homes in Ballard and Phinney Ridge. Where one home once stood, 2 or 3 tall skinny townhomes were built. Also, multiple homes were torn down to build large condo buildings. The shadows these buildings cast on residential Ballard is weird when you're not used to them being there. Most people I went to school with in Seattle in the 90s now live in Snohomish County or the Eastside. Seattle is full of tech transplants. It's baffling when they talk about the Seattle freeze. It's hard to meet someone from Seattle in Seattle. Where is the freeze coming from? Transplants afraid to talk to each other?

This video is leaving out the stark and disgusting reality about what Seattle is. 1999 and the WHO riots were what friends and family cite as "the beginning of the end."
