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.

"Some people even swim in Green Lake because it's actually pretty clean," Wyck says.

A community parade, a car show and professional sports

The Greenwood Seafair Parade has been a local favorite for over 70 years. Thousands of people line the streets to watch the bands, drill teams, floats and pirates that come to celebrate. The annual Greenwood Car Show occurs every June and is hosted by the Greenwood Knights. The event raises money for local charities and draws the community together while featuring all kinds of cars from every era.

From crafty stores to local coffee shops, Greenwood has it all. Most are friendly, welcoming newcomers, pets, children and the like. However, some of the Businesses can present themselves as standoffish. Reminiscent of cliques in a high school cafeteria. Seeming to test your "individuality" before welcoming you to their place. Not all are like this, but the few who are shine bright.

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 can't speak for the wages but employment opportunities are plentiful. There are a large number of coffee shops, bars, and stores in the area. Plus, the zoo is usually offering some form of employment, especially during peak season.
