Seattle is full of neighborhoods rich with history, culture, entertainment, and amenities. One, however, stands out from the rest for its diversity in homes, proximity to downtown and sweeping city and water views - the Queen Anne neighborhood.

Located northwest of downtown Seattle, Queen Anne is an affluent neighborhood where grand, old mansions neighbor Craftsman bungalows, and residents enjoy a bevy of amenities including many of the city’s best parks, museums and gardens, award-winning restaurants, and high-end boutique shopping.

“Queen Anne is one of Seattle’s most desirable neighborhoods,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle. “It’s a wonderfully self-contained neighborhood.”

“Not only do you have a superb selection of homes, but Queen Anne’s location is nothing but ideal,” continues Wasner. The Queen Anne district is nestled next to Lake Union, a freshwater lake in the heart of Seattle where kayakers, paddle boarders and others can enjoy time on the calm water while those who prefer the views can enjoy the walking trails, parks and many restaurants that dot the shore.

Just blocks from Lake Union are the Seattle headquarters for Google, Amazon and Facebook, while the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Seattle Center, the city’s civic, arts and events center, are located in the Lower Queen Anne district. And if you’ve ever seen a photo of the Space Needle with the city in the background, it was likely taken from the top of Queen Anne Hill, Seattle’s highest point.

“Our clients love Queen Anne for so many reasons,” Wasner says. “It’s a cosmopolitan area that reminds many of the Pacific Heights neighborhood in San Francisco. Multi-million dollar homes, views to die for and the best the city has to offer - that’s Queen Anne.”
