Leschi Homes for Rent

Leschi, a neighborhood in Seattle, is renowned for its scenic views of Lake Washington and diverse home styles, ranging from two-bedroom condominiums to modern lakefront mansions. The area features mid-century and contemporary modern houses with geometric facades, long glass panes, and black metal frames, as well as traditional cottages and bungalows. Streets lined with fir and hemlock trees create a tunnel-like effect, and the absence of arterial roads minimizes traffic congestion. Leschi is fewer than 3 miles from downtown Seattle and offers access to above-average schools, including Meany Middle School and Garfield High School, both of which have high ratings. The neighborhood's heart lies along Lakeside Avenue, a waterfront street with various restaurants and shops, including the locally owned Leschi Market and the trendy cafe Meet the Moon. Daniel's Broiler, a fine dining spot in a converted boathouse, offers panoramic views of the lake. Leschi Park and Frink Park provide hiking trails and woodland areas, while Peppa’s Playground and Wading Pool cater to families with children. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, and residents enjoy numerous attractions such as the annual Seafair Hydroplane race on Lake Washington. U.S. Route 90 runs along the southern border, providing easy access to the Port of Seattle and other major employers in healthcare and technology.
