Seattle's hub for all-around excitement
While downtown Seattle has the city’s highest concentration of high-rises, workplaces and tram stops, Uptown is Seattle’s hub for all-around excitement. Anchored by the world-renowned Space Needle, Uptown is replete with entertainment, artwork, architecture, and commerce that visitors won’t find anywhere else. Its 11,000-plus residents all enjoy walkable proximity to Seattle Center, a 74-acre collection of performance venues, food vendors, gardens, galleries and more. Hockey and basketball fans live within blocks of Climate Pledge Arena, home to the Seattle Kraken and Storm. Outdoor enthusiasts can visit a park with skyline views and several others bordering Puget Sound. Meanwhile, K-12 students are within a few miles of highly rated public schools, and commuters can quickly take the Seattle Center Monorail to downtown. “It’s one of my favorite neighborhoods,” says Realtor Ashlyn Pawlak of Windermere Real Estate. “I lived there for years and years and still look back on it fondly. It’s a Mecca of great amenities.”
The Space Needle is a famous attraction in Uptown that can be seen throughout the neighborhood.

Condos from $300,000 to $12 million
Most Uptown residents rent apartments in various low-rise developments scattered among its gridded blocks. However, the neighborhood offers plenty of options for homebuyers, who comprise roughly ¼ of its population. Homes for purchase consist primarily of condominiums — some in early-20th-century buildings, others in brand-new constructions. These average around $900,000 in value, though one-bedroom properties under 600 square feet start around $300,000. Uptown’s priciest homes are in its northwest corner, perched atop a hill with pristine views of the Seattle skyline. Homebuyers can spend up to $12 million here, which could buy a three-bedroom penthouse over 5,000 square feet.

From skyline panoramas to glass sculptures
Also in this corner of uptown is Kerry Park, perhaps Seattle’s most popular urban park due to its panoramic view. However, Pawlak says Uptown’s bayside green spaces, including Myrtle Edwards Park, are its true outdoor gems. “Myrtle Edwards Park makes you feel like you’re a world away from Seattle,” she says. “Sure, you have views of Seattle and Climate Pledge Arena, but you’re on Puget Sound with ships and ferries coming in. It’s a lesser-known park than Kerry Park, but just as special.” Seattle Center features further outdoor escapes, including parts of Chihuly Garden and Glass, whose open-aired garden and indoor showrooms display dazzling glass sculptures. Seattle Center visitors can also visit A/NT Gallery, a volunteer-run art museum, and KEXP-FM, an alternative radio station that hosts live music. Big-ticket performances occur regularly at McCaw Hall, while Seattle Children’s Theatre is a popular spot for young art enthusiasts.

Eclectic eateries and multiple markets
Various big-name and local eateries also appear around Seattle Center, serving everything from tacos to tofu stir fry. Popular restaurants within a few blocks include Toulouse Petit Kitchen & Lounge, where patrons enjoy Louisiana Creole dishes and elegant cocktails in a romantically lit dining room. Nearby, Tyger Tyger is a family-owned Sichuan Chinese restaurant serving hand-rolled dumplings, noodles and other favorites. Pawlak says Uptown’s collection of grocery stores for various budgets makes it unique among Seattle’s urban neighborhoods. “You’ve got Metropolitan Market, Safeway, Trader Joe’s and a bunch of other options,” she says.

Four well-rated schools within 3 miles
Uptown kids are 3 miles or fewer from the nearest public schools. John Hay Elementary is the closest, operating only a few blocks north. Just under 400 K-5 students attend this school with an A from Niche. McClure Middle, also with an A, welcomes sixth through eighth graders about 1 mile north of the neighborhood. Lincoln High School accommodates the neighborhood’s older teens and has a B-plus from Niche. Established in 1907, this school closed for nearly 40 years before reopening in 2019. Today, it prides itself on offering many AP and honors courses to its nearly 1,400 students. The Center School is another option for ninth through 12th graders seeking arts-heavy instruction. It has an A-minus from Niche and operates in Seattle Center.
John Hay Elementary School inspires children to learn and sparks creativity.
McClure Middle School provides excellent education for a better tomorrow.
Lincoln High School prepares students for graduation and beyond.

Direct Seattle Center Monorail access
With downtown Seattle immediately south, many Uptown residents can walk or bike to work. Those near Seattle Center can also hop on the Seattle Center Monorail, which Pawlak considers an underrated means of getting around. “Uptown is one of the only neighborhoods that can utilize the monorail. Its only other stop is at Westlake Center, which gives you full access to the light rail system,” she says. “The neighborhood is way more accessible than people even know.”
There are various local attractions residents and visitors can enjoy in Uptown.

I have really enjoyed living in Lower Queen Anne. I've been here for about a year and a half and the location is great. Plus a lot of dogs

It is a very safe, quaint neighborhood with lots of small local business shops to support. There is plenty of food within walkable distance. There also are very few homeless people (if any) in the Queen Anne area, which makes it feel very safe and walkable. The neighborhoods are well kept and quiet, and there are very many large, nice homes with scenic overlooks.

I grew up in Queen Anne and I took it for granted as when I moved I missed it daily. Queen Anne has such a relaxing and accepting vibe, you could walk anywhere or take the bus so there was never worry about transportation. Locals were friendly, at least to each other and I had an amazingly cute old apartment building. Queen Anne is beautiful however sadly overpriced now and locals (such as myself) had to move because of it.
