Ravenna, a convenient neighborhood
Ravenna isn’t just one of Seattle's most desirable neighborhoods for its lush green spaces and walkable access to shopping and dining. The area also offers a colorful assortment of single-family homes, some stretching back to the early 20th century. Many residents bike the quiet streets lined with evergreens and maples. Most homes have backyards large enough for lounging in a hammock with a book or setting up a barbecue. "Everyone wants to live in Ravenna," says Realtor Alexander Keyes, who sells homes in the area with A Home in Seattle, the company he founded. "It's a walkable community with beautiful mid-century homes, close to the downtown and the University of Washington."
Situated just north of Downtown Seattle and the University of Washington, commuting is easy.
Residents can hike the Ravenna Park trail.

The Ravenna area is mostly family living and older folks retiring. It is close to the hustle of the city but far enough to feel suburb. It is quiet at night and most places are closed by 8 but there is Ravenna Brewing for some night life. The nearby U-Village is great for shopping, activities, and food. There is plenty of outdoor places to be including Ravenna Ravine and Magnuson Park, great for walking around and getting some nature.

Ravenna is, in many ways, a beautiful area, with tree- lined streets and high walkability. You can walk to many parks, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc... It isn' t particularly diverse and some areas and neighborhoods are friendlier than others.
