University District Seattle

Located just next to the University of Washington’s Seattle campus, the University District is a blur of restaurants, bookstores, tattoo parlors, bars, and chic clothing stores. The heart of this neighborhood is University Avenue, known to locals as simply “the ave”. Although home to a large variety of ethnic cuisines that some might feel overwhelmed by, finding a dining choice in the University District is often accomplished simply by word of mouth. Local favorites include Shultzy’s Sausage, (a soccer crazy bar and restaurant with an excellent array of burgers and German food), and Cedars, an Indian restaurant. The area offers a variety of festivals, art walks, and other community events, including the popular ‘U District Street Fair’ held every May. Be sure to check out the infamous Scarecrow Video, home to every movie you could ever think of, (and then some!), the University Bookstore, and the beautiful outdoor murals located everywhere!

As the residence of the University of Washington’s Seattle campus, homes in the University District often cater directly to local college students. For that reason, University District homes and condos for sale are often very affordable. With such easy access to downtown Seattle, (a mere three miles away), as well as the University Village Shopping Center, this neighborhood is perfect for young couples looking for a home amidst the best urban chic that Seattle has to offer!
