Living in Waterfront
Seattle's Waterfront district is undergoing a dramatic transformation with the completion of the revitalized waterfront park and Overlook Walk replacing the old Alaskan Way Viaduct, making this one of the most talked-about addresses in the city. With a median price of $844,000, $739/sqft, and a stunning +53.5% YoY gain, this market is surging as buyers anticipate long-term value from the public investment. The neighborhood appeals to those seeking an urban lock-and-leave lifestyle with world-class views and instant access to Pike Place Market.
Living on the Waterfront means stepping out to the new Waterfront Park, the Seattle Aquarium, and Pier 62 for live events and stunning sunset views over Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Pike Place Market is a five-minute walk away, providing daily access to fresh produce, seafood, and artisan goods. The area's urban intensity suits those who want a cosmopolitan, walkable lifestyle at the heart of Seattle's most exciting public space transformation in decades.
