Seattle's View Ridge Neighborhood

Wed, Nov 2, 2011

Seattle's View Ridge neighborhood was developed in the 1940's.  Its' close proximity to the University of Washington, Children's Hospital and downtown Seattle makes it a desirable and sought after neighborhood.

View Ridge is directly west of Magnuson Park, a multipurpose park on the shores of Lake Washington.  The park has sports fields, swimming and boat access, wetlands, an off-lease dog park, a community center, a sports arena and Sail Sandpoint, a non-profit public sailing organization.

Many of View Ridge's homes have spectacular views of Mt. Rainier, Lake Washington, the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges and downtown Seattle.  If a home doesn't have a view, just walk around the neighborhood sidewalks to get peeks of mountains and lakes!

Neighborhood businesses include City People's, a hardware, garden and gift store, PCC and Metropolitan Market, local grocery stores, coffee shops, gas stations, banks and a post office.  The Univeristy Village is a large nearby outdoor mall with many chain stores, restaurants and public events such a music performances and Halloween trick or treating.

Home prices range from the $200,000 to over $1 million.  There are modest homes and mansions making for a nice mix of residents.  Everyone from students to retired people choose View Ridge as their home. Come take a look!
