I think this is pretty cool! Seattle Magazine glomped together all the Seattle suburbs and in city neighborhoods and compared them to come up with a list of best neighborhoods to live in.
The funny part is that the suburbs absolutely rocked the competition with Kenmore taking #1 and Shoreline taking the number 2 spot. In fact, the only in city Seattle neighborhood that made the top ten was Northgate.
Congrats Northgate! Affordable prices and the revamped Northgate Mall must have no doubt played a part. Seattle Magazine used a point system and included schools and affordability so Seattle in city was probably pretty penalized, but I am surprised Maple Leaf at the very least did not get into that top ten spot at least.
Other Seattle "neighborhoods" in the top ten: Bellevue, Mountlake Terrace, Mercer Island, Redmond, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent (for those of you out of area, these are all suburbs).
So in city top spot: Northgate
Nearby:
I would also highly recommend checking out Maple Leaf real estate when you get a chance - If for no other reason than to eat at Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon, the Maple Leaf Grill, or visit the amazing educational store Math N Stuff!

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.
