Green Lake is one of Seattle’s most beloved neighborhoods—a peaceful, nature-filled retreat just north of downtown. Centered around its namesake lake and scenic 2.8-mile trail, this neighborhood is a haven for joggers, cyclists, dog walkers, and families who love the outdoors. Living here feels like a breath of fresh air, with water views, tree-lined streets, and the rhythm of community life centered around the lake.
The neighborhood strikes a perfect balance between relaxed living and vibrant activity. You’ll find charming Craftsman homes, modern townhouses, and garden-filled streets just steps from coffee shops, restaurants, and local boutiques. Green Lake’s small business scene includes everything from yoga studios and juice bars to cozy bookstores and weekend farmers markets.
Residents love the year-round access to paddleboarding, kayaking, tennis, and even ice skating at the community center. And despite the laid-back vibe, Green Lake is incredibly connected—just minutes from Northgate, I-5, and the Green Lake Light Rail Station.
Whether you’re relocating to Seattle or searching for a neighborhood that blends outdoor living with urban convenience, Green Lake is a lifestyle all its own: peaceful, active, and deeply loved by those who call it home.
