On the slopes of Lake Washington
Chief Leschi led the Nisqually Indian Tribe from 1808 to 1858. The tribe inhabited the area of land from Seattle to Tacoma, surrounding the Puget Sound and Lake Washington. Today, the neighborhood of Leschi is known for its scenic views of Lake Washington and lakefront homes. Properties range from two-bedroom condominiums all the way up to modern lakefront mansions. With an average price of $1.4 million, Leschi is a popular location for affluent homebuyers who are willing to spend the extra money for the picturesque location. Realtor Deidre Hicks of Berkshire Hathaway has sold almost $20 million worth of property in the Seattle area. “People love to ride their bikes around Lake Washington,” Deidre says. “Every August there is a Seafair Hydroplane race on the Lake that is a major event.” The streets are lined with fir and hemlock, while Sailboats are tied down to public docks along Lakeside Avenue. The town is fewer than 3 miles from downtown Seattle, and residents have access to above average schools in the Seattle Public School District.

Lakefront abodes and dense canopies
Mid-Century and contemporary Modern houses cut through the hills of Leschi with sharp lines. These houses generally feature geometric facades with long panes of glass and black metal frames. A recently listed modern mansion features lake front property and a pool for $10 million. The heavily sloping landscape combined with dense foliage provides residents ample shade cover. Some roads are almost entirely covered by a canopy of trees, which creates a tunnel-like effect. While the streets are narrow, the absence of arterial roads prevents the type of traffic congestion found in many other Seattle neighborhoods. In addition to a variety of modern homes, there are also traditional cottages and bungalows available. Houses range in price from $750,000 to well over $2 million, with a median price of $1.1 million. A recently sold modern-Craftsman bungalow closed for $1.5 million and is representative of the market average.
