A funky, thriving Center of the Universe in north-central Seattle
Fremont in north-central Seattle has been described as "funky," "freaky" and "bohemian." A hippie haven in the 1960s, it still has a thriving arts community, indie shops and unique events. Community pride is evident in the neighborhood's nickname, the Center of the Universe. Highlights include parks, trails, quick commutes and top-rated schools in the Seattle Public Schools district, like Benjamin Franklin Day Elementary, Hamilton International Middle School and Lincoln High School. School choice by application is also an option.
The Fremont Troll under the Aurora Bridge is a staple art structure in the neighborhood.
The annual Fremont Oktoberfest takes place every September and offers up over 100 beers to try.
B.F. Day Elementary School is where many Fremont students begin their education.

The Highway 99 Bridge connects Fremont to Queen Anne in Seattle.
State Route 99, drawbridge waits and restricted parking zones
State Route 99 goes through the neighborhood as Aurora Avenue North. Its Aurora Bridge spans the Washington Ship Canal from North Queen Anne. The Fremont Bridge, to the west, is a drawbridge that can be opened on demand. "When the boats signal, traffic on the bridge stops for everyone: pedestrians, cyclists and cars," Pullin says. "It's not on a schedule. But they do limit it during rush hour." The wait is usually less than 5 minutes. Driveways, garages and street parking are available, though some areas are in Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ); residents can buy permits.
Plenty of public art, walkable, bikeable, and with bus service
"Fremont has a very counterculture culture — that's the whole point of it being the Center of the Universe," says Jim Pullin, managing broker at Skyline Properties. "Time is different here. 'Is it faster? Is it slower?' That's not the point. We're on Fremont time." Whatever the speed, it's easy to get around, with highly walkable streets, bike lanes and bus service. Fremont's tech presence includes Adobe; other companies have relocated. The commute to Downtown Seattle, about 4 miles south, takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Public art includes the Fremont Troll sculpture under the Aurora Bridge, with Troll's Knoll Park and a community garden beside it. The 53-foot Fremont Rocket bears a faux Latin motto, "De libertas quirkas" (Freedom to be peculiar), the J.P. Patches & Gertrude statue honors a famous clown and the Statue of Lenin anchors a corner.
The Fremont Rocket is a 53-foot tall landmark that sits at the heart of the neighborhood.
Buses run day and night through multiple routes in the Fremont neighborhood.

It's all about independently owned boutiques, restaurants and clubs
Locally owned businesses are key to Fremont's vibe. The Fremont Vintage Mall, a collective, is the place for all sorts of finds. Paseo infuses their sizable sandwiches with Caribbean and Latin flavors. Dreamland Bar & Diner hosts drag brunches, while The George and Dragon Pub is Seattle's original soccer hangout. PCC Community Markets is a co-op with organic goods. Nightlife picks include Nectar, the city's largest indoor/outdoor music venue, and Baila Bar, a Peruvian restaurant and club known for bachata, salsa and reggaeton.

Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden: by the locks, with over 500 plant species, landscaping and pathways
"The main thing for people actually living here would be the commuting opportunity at the locks," Pullin says. Bike commuters have to walk their bikes across the locks.
The Fremont Canal Park is a great spot for bikers to take a ride in the morning.
The dinosaur garden in the Fremont Canal Park perfectly showcases the neighborhood's artistic vibe.

Craftsmans, contemporaries, condos and some floating homes
There's a mix of homes, including early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows. Single-family homes and townhomes with contemporary or modern styling date from the 1990s to the 2020s. Prices range from the high $500,000s to nearly $2 million. Condos can start under $300,000 and go over $1 million, depending on square footage and newness. Fremont's median sales price is in the low $900,000s.
Permanently moored floating homes are close to the Aurora Bridge. "There's not much turnover, but it's a great dock with 15 floating homes," says Molly Cartwright, a premier broker and Realtor with Windermere Real Estate Midtown. Eastlake, Westlake and Portage Bay have more docks and floating homes than Fremont.

ADUs are popular, Fremont is a growth area for development
Accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, have become popular due to zoning laws. Most single-family lots are allowed to have two ADUs added, though there are rules related to size, setbacks and spacing. ADU permits and construction can be streamlined with preapproved plans designed by the city.
Additionally, Seattle's comprehensive plan has marked core parts of the neighborhood as the Fremont Hub Urban Village, a growth area for mixed-use development and higher-density housing. This may include townhouses, apartments and micro-housing. Transit-related growth is expected to follow housing.
