Queen Anne

Welcome to Queen Anne

Queen Anne sometimes called the “crown jewel” of Seattle real estate, Queen Anne has traditionally been home to some of the city's most elegant architecture, views, and venerable lineages. Known for its sweeping views, Queen Anne continues to attract those who are looking for an inviting, historic community.

However, like most of Seattle, Queen Anne is multifaceted. Bordered by Lake Union to the east, Lake Washington Ship Canal to the north, and Belltown to the south, this distinct neighborhood definitely has something for everyone of the best taste.

At the bottom of Queen Anne’s southern side is the bustling Uptown District, sometimes called lower Queen Anne with its excellent restaurants, shops, Seattle International Film Festival theaters and the Seattle Center home to the McCaw Opera House, Ballet, and the Repertory Theater.

East and West Queen Anne, which meet in the middle at the top of the hill, perfectly mix residential areas that meet along a common business district on Queen Anne Avenue. Crowning the top of the hill’s view properties are the historic houses, quaint shopping streets, and quiet parks of Upper Queen Anne.

One of the most unique properties for those interested in condo living is the former Queen Anne High School. With its soaring ceilings and soundproof brick walls, the property offers condos that are unique and hearken back to a stately era of living. 

Just ten minutes to the North and across the Fremont Bridge, Queen Anne has convenient access to the tech and art center of Fremont. Google, Adobe and several others maintain waterfront offices here lending the area a hip, vibrant air. Fremont is also known for its clever shops, massive statues of Lenin and a Volkswagen devouring troll, as well as its lively scene of microbreweries and chocolatiers. Fremont is also famous for its Solstice Parade, an experience of arts that must be seen to be believed.

The beautiful properties reclining on Queen Anne Hill display a variety of architectural styles. Owing its development to the period between the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the neighborhood has magnificent old homes that exude tasteful luxury. There are meticulously restored Brick Tudors that are known for handsome period details. You’ll also find, of course, eponymous Queen Anne-style mansions that showcase sculptural shapes and ornamented facades.

For those who enjoy modern living, Queen Anne has contemporary penthouses that overlook Puget Sound and Elliott Bay Marina. The area is adjacent to some of the city’s largest parks, extensive private docks, and views of both the Olympic and Cascade mountains.
