Waterfront Lake Union - Affordable Seattle waterfront homes

When we talk about Lake Union waterfront homes, the conversation usually centers on houseboats and floating homes. While those may be some great values, there are a few condos that do come on the market that are waterfront buildings with docks and boat slips available.

We've seen some very affordable houseboats on the Northlake side of Lake Union. There are currently 5 houseboats under $250k, which is a great starting point for buying real estate. Be aware of extra slip rental, management, facilites fees that may apply for houseboat living. There's even a floating home in Eastlake at just $350,000 right now, which is about half the price of most floating homes.

There's also a nice one bedroom condo on Eastlake that we recently viewed with a client. With views of Lake Union, boat moorage available, and even a pool right on the lake, it's a great alternative to your average water view home. All this, and it's just under $270,000. The next lowest-priced waterfront condo is over $700,000, just as a reference point.

There are some really intriguing waterfront homes on Lake Union, but you need to do your research. From South Lake Union to Eastlake, Northlake, and Westlake, there are very different neighborhoods, home types, and ownership organization. Give us a call if you need help.
