Greenwood, a trendy Seattle neighborhood
Greenwood draws homebuyers with its vibrant nightlife, diverse dining, access to big-box retail and athletically focused greenspaces. The area continues to be sought-after among young professionals who work in the city's booming tech industry, which includes companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Rokt. As a result, the area continues to incorporate new businesses and housing. "There have been a lot of new restaurants and coffee shops in recent years," says Realtor Dustin Van Wyck, who sells homes in the neighborhood with Windermere Real Estate/Capitol Hill. "There have been a lot of redevelopments, including townhomes, apartments and single-family homes. So, the area has definitely been a hotspot for people to move to within the city of Seattle." The community is colorful, both in its diverse cuisine and pop-infused murals. The neighborhood's housing and public infrastructure have been damaged in the past because Greenwood was built on top of a bog, which can cause building settlement.
Turn-of-the-century homes and newer builds
Most homes range in price from $400,000 to $1.4 million. A one-bedroom, one-bathroom 1980s condo sells for about $380,000. A three-bedroom 2017 townhome ranges from $850,000 to $930,000 in value. Homebuyers can purchase a three-bedroom turn-of-the-century Craftsman bungalow for between $650,000 and $830,000. Three-bedroom 1940s bungalows are valued between $830,000 and $920,000. A two-bedroom, three-bathroom newly built modern contemporary-style house sells for around $740,000. A five-bedroom of the same type sells for between $1.3 million and $1.5 million. Greenwood is also sought-after because of the neighborhoods surrounding it. “You’re right in between Green Lake, Ballard and Phinney Ridge. Those are more expensive areas," Wyck says.

It's definitely not a neighborhood where you'd "turn up" per se, but there are a good amount of unique bars and pubs in the area that offer a variety of atmospheres and drink specials. Plenty of places to grab a bite, but if you're in the vicinity always be sure to check out Red Mill Burgers. The Mill Sauce is unreal.

I have lived in Greenwood for a few years and it is hands down one of my favorite neighborhoods in Seattle. It is a close knit community of people of all ages. Lots of people starting families in this neighborhood as well as singles. Lots of nightlife and good places to eat as well as lots of shopping options.

Greenwood has a good combination of new and older businesses. It's cool to see the neighborhood grow while still keeping some of it's roots.
