Neighborhood Reviews
Turn-of-the-century homes and newer builds
Most homes range in price from $400,000 to $1.4 million. A one-bedroom, one-bathroom 1980s condo sells for about $380,000. A three-bedroom 2017 townhome ranges from $850,000 to $930,000 in value. Homebuyers can purchase a three-bedroom turn-of-the-century Craftsman bungalow for between $650,000 and $830,000. Three-bedroom 1940s bungalows are valued between $830,000 and $920,000. A two-bedroom, three-bathroom newly built modern contemporary-style house sells for around $740,000. A five-bedroom of the same type sells for between $1.3 million and $1.5 million. Greenwood is also sought-after because of the neighborhoods surrounding it. “You’re right in between Green Lake, Ballard and Phinney Ridge. Those are more expensive areas," Wyck says.

Nightlife bars, morning coffee and ethnic cuisine
Many of the neighborhood's best shopping and dining options are on Greenwood Avenue. Folks thrift shop for urban streetwear at Lucky Dog Clothing. People often start their days with caffeine and a pastry at the Coffeeholic House, a Vietnamese-inspired cafe. Folks order pulled pork and chicken on ciabatta at Valhalla Sandwiches. Residents sip cocktails, chow down on subs, and shoot pinball at Hounds Tooth Public House or sing karaoke in the string-light-illuminated Shanghai Room, once featured on an episode of Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown." La Cabaña on North 105th Street is a hit with the locals for its authentic Mexican quesadillas and tamales. The Indian-Nepali Kitchen on Aurora Avenue North is popular for its chicken tikka masala and goat biryani. Pizzeria La Rocca is a local favorite lunch and dinner spot. Residents can buy their own ingredients to cook all the dishes mentioned at the Fred Meyer on 3rd Avenue Northwest.

Pet-friendly greenspaces within walking distance
Residents walk to Greenwood Park to play cornhole, barbecue, hit the tetherball, take their children to the play area and stroll the ADA-approved walkways. Sandel Park has basketball hoops, playsets, an open grassy field and a wading pool. Residents turn soil and plant seeds at the Greenwood P-Patch Community Garden. Folks travel about 3 miles west to walk the beach and swim in the Puget Sound at Golden Gardens Park. People visit the 90-acre Woodlawn Park to play tennis, skate and take their dogs to the off-leash dog area. At the park, people take boats out to fish for rainbow trout in Green Lake. "Some people even swim in Green Lake because it's actually pretty clean," Wyck says.

A community parade, a car show and professional sports
The Greenwood Seafair Parade has been a local favorite for over 70 years. Thousands of people line the streets to watch the bands, drill teams, floats and pirates that come to celebrate. The annual Greenwood Car Show occurs every June and is hosted by the Greenwood Knights. The event raises money for local charities and draws the community together while featuring all kinds of cars from every era. Residents catch new film releases at the AMC movie theater on Stone Avenue North. Teens take performance workshops at the Seattle Public Theater on West Greenlake Drive.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

It's definitely not a neighborhood where you'd "turn up" per se, but there are a good amount of unique bars and pubs in the area that offer a variety of atmospheres and drink specials. Plenty of places to grab a bite, but if you're in the vicinity always be sure to check out Red Mill Burgers. The Mill Sauce is unreal.

Niche Review
I have lived in Greenwood for a few years and it is hands down one of my favorite neighborhoods in Seattle. It is a close knit community of people of all ages. Lots of people starting families in this neighborhood as well as singles. Lots of nightlife and good places to eat as well as lots of shopping options.

Greenwood has a good combination of new and older businesses. It's cool to see the neighborhood grow while still keeping some of it's roots.
