Seattle Magazine Best Seattle Neighborhoods

I think this is pretty cool! Seattle Magazine glomped together all the Seattle suburbs and in city neighborhoods and compared them to come up with a list of best neighborhoods to live in.

The funny part is that the suburbs absolutely rocked the competition with Kenmore taking #1 and Shoreline taking the number 2 spot. In fact, the only in city Seattle neighborhood that made the top ten was Northgate.

Congrats Northgate! Affordable prices and the revamped Northgate Mall must have no doubt played a part. Seattle Magazine used a point system and included schools and affordability so Seattle in city was probably pretty penalized, but I am surprised Maple Leaf at the very least did not get into that top ten spot at least.

Other Seattle "neighborhoods" in the top ten: Bellevue, Mountlake Terrace, Mercer Island, Redmond, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent (for those of you out of area, these are all suburbs).

So in city top spot: Northgate

I would also highly recommend checking out Maple Leaf real estate when you get a chance - If for no other reason than to eat at Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon, the Maple Leaf Grill, or visit the amazing educational store Math N Stuff!
