Roosevelt is a centrally located neighborhood in North Seattle
A centrally located neighborhood in North Seattle, Roosevelt combines classic residential streets with development and a mixed-use urban village. Options are expanding due to zoning changes, new construction and enhanced public transportation. Highlights include light rail, walkable streets and access to parks and recreational sites. Proximity to the University District, home to the University of Washington, contributes to an energetic spirit.
Vintage homes and newer options, including lots of new construction
Roosevelt is highly desirable, according to Joshua Walden, a broker with NextHome Prolific. It has a mix of classic and modern home options. “There are plenty of vintage Craftsman and older-style homes, but it’s also a little bit ahead with new construction," he says. "You'll find plenty of new townhomes and condos.” There are more renters in Roosevelt than owner-occupants.
Prices start in the high $300,000s for one-bedroom condos, while townhomes and single-family homes range from the mid-$600,000s to $1.8 million. The median sales price is about $1 million. Spacious, well-maintained vintage Tudor Revivals and Craftsman homes are among the most expensive.
A variety of house styles can be found throughout Roosevelt, including Craftsman bungalows.

Commuting via I-5, by bus or on light rail from Roosevelt Station
“Roosevelt is a very dense corridor,” Walden says, noting that it's limited in terms of east-west thoroughfares. Roosevelt Way Northeast runs north-south, parallel to Interstate 5. There are a few ways to commute to Downtown Seattle, about 6 miles to the south:
The drive on I-5 could be 10 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
The bus ride downtown is 40 minutes to an hour; other routes/destinations are available.
Sound Transit Link light rail from Roosevelt Station usually takes under half an hour.
Light rail is relatively new to the area; the station opened in 2021 as part of the Northgate Link Extension. Other transit upgrades are on the way: faster bus service will come with the King County Metro RapidRide J Line, which is scheduled to begin operation in 2027.
Roosevelt has great connectivity and accessibility thanks to dedicated bike lanes and many crosswalks.
Public transportation options buses and light rail.
Opened in 2021, the Roosevelt Station offers Sound Transit Link light rail service.

Adjacent neighborhoods like Green Lake, parking considerations
Being adjacent to popular neighborhoods is part of Roosevelt's appeal. “It’s just a stroll downhill to get to Green Lake,” Walden says. “You won't be able to find parking in the summer there.” Living in Roosevelt can also come with parking challenges. A Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) applies to areas around the light rail station, the commercial core and near Roosevelt High School. Residents can purchase parking permits.
Connectivity, close parks and trails and community events
Bike lanes, pedestrian/bike corridors and parkways run through Roosevelt, so it's easy to get around. There are parks and recreation options close by in all directions:
Cowen Park: open space, a playground, forested areas and a series of pathways
Ravenna Park: a playground, tennis and basketball courts, softball field
Maple Leaf Reservoir Park: a play area with a zip line, sports amenities and public art
Roosevelt P-Patch: community garden with over 2 dozen raised beds, possible waitlist
Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center: gym, sports leagues, programs, camps and childcare
Events include family skate nights at the community center, the Ravenna Run the Ravine and Maple Leaf's Chanukah Fest. Green Lake, in addition to being popular for water recreation, hosts the Pathway of Lights in December, with entertainment, refreshments and a hot-air balloon glow.
Cowen Park is a spot to enjoy a good book in the sunshine.
Enjoy a picnic at Green Lake, with beautiful views year round.

The neighborhood’s core shopping center, Roosevelt Square, is on Roosevelt Way NE. Whole Foods Market is the anchor, and there’s an LA Fitness, Guitar Center and Starbucks. Independently owned businesses elsewhere in the area include Aquarium Zen, Latin/Cuban restaurant Mojito and Sunlight Cafe, one of the city’s oldest vegetarian spots. Teddy’s Tavern, Human People Beer Cafe and Project 9 Brewing Company are some of the day-to-evening hangouts.
Armistice Coffee is on Roosevelt Way Northeast.
Portage Bay Cafe serves up fresh and locally sourced fare.

Roosevelt High and other highly rated schools, plus UW is close by
The Seattle Public Schools district serves the area and offers choice options by application or through lotteries. The area’s highly rated schools include Roosevelt High School, which offers a variety of extracurricular activities and a strong athletics department.
Students might stay close to home and attend the University of Washington, about 2 miles away. “Roosevelt is really good for U-Dub students in terms of commute time,” says Walden, who specializes in representing the younger generation of homebuyers. “Those who don't want to live on campus anymore choose this neighborhood to rent or buy in.”
Green Lake Elementary School is one of the area's highly rated schools.
Roosevelt High School opened in 1922.

A neighborhood association, design guidelines and Urban Village status
Named a Residential Urban Village under a city planning program, Roosevelt has seen more mixed-use development and focus on pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Zoning updates under the Mandatory Housing Affordability program contributed to residential density; this included land rezoning from low-rise use into mid-rise.
The Roosevelt Neighborhood Association, a nonprofit member-based organization, holds regular meetings, puts out newsletters and hosts events like Rooted in Roosevelt, a festival in September with local bands, dancing, kids' activities and food trucks. The Roosevelt Neighborhood Design Guidelines, a set of standards for architecture, infrastructure and landscaping, may impact properties on lots near main corridors.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Small building lots, but it is more economic than cramped. Very efficient use of space, and everything still feels great and nice. People spend time outdoors and you don't need a lot of living space because of that.
