Suburb with sweeping views of Seattle
Situated on a tree-lined bluff overlooking downtown Seattle, Beacon Hill is a residential community with access to locally owned restaurants, expansive green spaces and top-rated schools. “The most desirable aspect of the neighborhood is the central location,” says Geoff Hill, a Broker with Keller Williams who has been selling homes in the area for over 18 years. “It’s very close to downtown and the whole west-facing side of Beacon Hill is a steep bluff covered with greenery and foliage. Many homes have panoramic views either to the west of Elliot Bay or to the east of Lake Washington.” Located about 5 miles south of downtown, the neighborhood offers comfortable suburban living with easy access to Interstate 5 and the Beacon Hill light rail station.
