The central location can have an influence on home prices
This area is a small part of Beacon Hill, but it stands out. "When people think of Beacon Hill, they often think of North Beacon Hill. It's kind of its own world," says Sarah Rudinoff, a broker at Windermere Real Estate. "Because of centrality, walkability, and nearby downtown and Capitol Hill, it's much more expensive. A lot of people are priced out of North Beacon Hill." Prices are in the high $200,000s for older, modestly sized condos, while midrange examples include early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows and midcentury ranch-style homes. Newer condos, townhouses and spacious single-family homes are at the high end, maxing out around $1.5 million. The median sales price is about $700,000. Apartments make up nearly half of the housing stock.
Walkable North Beacon Hill has quiet neighborhood streets.

Jefferson Park includes a community center, a public golf course, trails, athletic fields, tennis and pickleball courts and a seasonal wading pool. "It was designed by the Olmstead brothers, who also designed Central Park. It has one of the best views of downtown and sunsets," Rudinoff says. North Beacon Hill features a variety of outdoor features and events:
Jefferson Park: May Bloom Music Festival & Open House in the food forest and the Beacon Hill Festival in June
Dr. Jose Rizal Park: an off-leash dog area, playground, amphitheater and a jazz festival in August

A diverse food scene with restaurants you can walk to on Beacon Avenue
A vibrant food scene is paired with walkability. "Beacon Avenue itself is populated by wonderful, diverse and very distinct restaurants," Rudinoff says, adding that the cost of operating a business here may be less prohibitive. "It's not as expensive as, say, opening a restaurant in Capitol Hill." She recommends Milk Drunk for "all sorts of flavors of soft serve and wonderful fried chicken sandwiches." Musang, another favorite, serves Filipino comfort food in a cozy Craftsman house. Bar del Corso is known for its Neapolitan-style pizza, The Station offers coffee and a vegan-friendly menu, and Homer specializes in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern family-style dining. While there isn't a nightlife scene like you'd find in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, North Beacon Hill restaurants, bars and spots like Perihelion Brewery and wine shop Little Thing have evening hours.

Veterans visit for healthcare, and people ask about the Pacific Tower
Many people visit the area for care at the Seattle VA Medical Center, which offers primary care and specialty medical services for veterans. The Pacific Tower, a historic Art Deco building perched on Beacon Hill, once housed Amazon's headquarters. "It's an imposing structure visible from much of the city. It looks like an evil villain's lair from a movie. Everyone asks about it," says Jim Pullin, managing broker at Skyline Properties.
Built in 1932, the Pacific Tower is a notable landmark.
North Beacon Hill is appropriately named after the hill that the neighborhood settles on.

Seattle is one of the best cities to live in. It is not very hard to find a job, specially if one has a college degree. I plan to move out for some years so that I can explore the world but one I come back to the US, I would not doubt come back to Seattle. Even though traffic is terrible, public transportation is improving and making it easier to go from downtown to the suburbs or outside the city limits.
