Seattle Neighborhood Next In Line for A Makeover - Northgate

The Northgate area is a fast-growing neighborhood with great potential. There is a 14-screen cinema being constructed, along with condominium and apartment complexes, slated to be finished in early 2009. Also, just south of Northgate Mall is a Metro Park and Ride facility for easy commuting to just about anywhere in Seattle. And as if that weren't enough, our city's LightRail is planning to build a stop at the Park and Ride by 2009.

I also just attended the first community meeting at the Northgate Community Center regarding a new 3.73 acre park being planned. The location of the park will be just behind the Target store, where the concrete slab of the old Metro park and ride now sits.

There will also be aesthetic and pedestrian changes made in addition to the park. The purchase of the land by the parks department from the transportation department is set to be completed by 2009.

This means Northgate could be a great place to buy property at today's prices. In a couple of years, your property will be within a stone's throw from a beautiful new park!
