Mann, in the Central District, has been around for over a century

With dazzling homes and proximity to many gems throughout the city, the Mann neighborhood is a standout in Seattle’s Central District. Located minutes away from scenic Lake Washington and many of Seattle’s historic neighborhoods, this community features long stretches of residential streets with plenty of outdoor areas peppered throughout. The neighborhood’s history dates back to the 1920s, as it was named after the historic Horace Mann School, which was later renamed to Nova High School.

Craftsmans, midcentury ramblers and modern town houses

You’ll find many homes that date back to the 1920s and earlier, including classic Craftsman homes that are typically priced in the $900,000 range with spacious front porches that are perfect for a morning cup of coffee. Midcentury ramblers often come with enclosed garages, with yards that are usually fenced in for additional privacy. There are also many town houses throughout the neighborhood, many of which come with modern interior features and spacious floor plans.

Cuisine options close by and it's not far to Madrona and Capitol Hill

There are plenty of cuisine options, whether you’re enjoying tasty soul food at Communion or trying a limited release beer at Metier Brewing Company. You’ll find cuisine from countries worldwide, including Ethiopian, Caribbean, Mexican and more. Café Selam is a popular spot among people in the area for its no-frills environment and generously portioned Ethiopian fare.
Living in Seattle’s Central District means residents will have various amenities close by, including the many local shops and eateries in the Madrona neighborhood and proximity to Capitol Hill.

Park recreation, a community pool and nearby lake beaches

On the southern end of Mann, you’ll find Garfield Playfield, a hub for outdoor activities that includes athletic courts and fields, a tennis court and a playground that children can spend hours on. Children and adults can take swimming classes or just cool off on a hot day at the Medgar Evers Pool located next to the playfield. For a quick outing, there are several pocket parks throughout the neighborhood, including Plum Tree Park and Homer Harris Park. Of course, if you want a beach day, you’re just minutes away from the shores of Lake Washington. There are several beaches along the shoreline that are close by, including Madrona Park and Denny Blaine Park.

The area's public schools include Madrona Elementary, dating to 1890

Several public schools are in and around the neighborhood, meaning students won’t have to travel far to get to class. Some will start their education at Madrona Elementary School, which earns a C-minus grade from Niche. Madrona, a historic school dating back to 1890, now has a modern art science lab and a learning garden. Edward Meany Middle School receives a B, and Garfield High School has an A. Garfield High offers over 40 clubs and activities, ranging from Model UN Club to a robotics club and much more.

Close, but not too close to Downtown, with Interstate 5 access

In addition to being near Downtown Seattle, residents can take Interstate 5 to get through the area. Mann offers a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the downtown areas, providing residents with eye-catching homes and a quiet suburban environment to come home to.
