Living in Squire Park

Squire Park is a compact, historic neighborhood on Seattle's First Hill/Central District border offering a rich architectural character and a median price of $690,000 at $513/sqft. The -8.0% YoY adjustment and 86-day DOM reflect a deliberate market where buyers negotiate carefully on well-preserved Craftsman and Victorian homes. Its central location and evolving demographics make it a compelling long-term hold.

Squire Park offers the walkability of Capitol Hill with slightly more space and a calmer residential pace. The neighborhood is steps from the vibrant 12th Avenue corridor's restaurants and shops and a short walk from the Seattle University campus and First Hill medical district. Historic architecture gives blocks a distinctive character increasingly rare in rapidly redeveloping Seattle.

Healthcare Professional โ€” Walking distance to Swedish, Virginia Mason, and Harborview makes this a prime location for First Hill workers. Architecture Enthusiast โ€” Preserved historic homes with character that new construction simply cannot replicate. Urban Buyer Seeking Value โ€” Central location near Capitol Hill at a lower price point than comparable CD-adjacent neighborhoods.
