Meadowbrook

Meadowbrook is a leafy, community-oriented neighborhood in northeast Seattle known for its wetland park, strong civic identity, and spacious single-family homes. The median of $995,000 at a relatively low $419 per square foot signals larger home sizes and good value per square foot compared to tighter Seattle markets. Despite a modest -7.3% YoY adjustment, the brisk 8-day average days on market indicates that well-priced homes still move quickly and buyer demand remains healthy.

Meadowbrook's centerpiece is Meadowbrook Pond and the surrounding wetland trail system, offering residents a rare urban nature experience steps from their front doors. The neighborhood has a tight-knit community culture supported by an active neighborhood coalition, local P-patches, and regular events. While daily errands require a car or short drive to Lake City Way, the tradeoff is quiet streets, generous lot sizes, and a genuine sense of neighborhood belonging rarely found this close to Seattle's core.

Nature-loving family — The wetland park, quiet streets, and larger homes provide an outdoorsy lifestyle within Seattle city limits. Value-conscious buyer seeking square footage — At $419/sqft, buyers get significantly more home for their dollar compared to similar Seattle price points. Long-term investor — The fast 8-day DOM despite a price dip signals strong floor demand, making this a stable hold in a Seattle submarket.
