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.

Traditional homes and new construction
Beacon Hill features a mix of single-family homes and townhomes. Most homes were built in the mid-1900s and sit side-by-side on narrow lots, but mature trees offer residents a sense of privacy. Homebuyers can find traditional ranch-style, split-level and Craftsman bungalows ranging from around $600,000 for a two-bedroom home to $1 million for a newly renovated four-bedroom rambler. Newer construction includes modern townhomes built throughout the 2010s, with prices ranging from about $555,000 to $735,000. “Every time I drive through, I see dozens of new construction projects,” Hill says. “Expect there to be competition for well-priced homes.” According to the CAP Index, the neighborhood has an overall Crime Score of 4.

Seattle is probably one of the best places I have lived in my life. I would prefer to live in the Ballard or Queen Anne neighborhoods, but the campus area is not bad at all.
