If you’re new to the Seattle area it’s interesting to find the currently most popular places to live. SeattleMet has just published an article about the pros and cons of popular Seattle neighborhoods.  It was interesting to me that Bainbridge Island was number one on the list and West Seattle number 7. Of course there are current favorites like Ballard, South Lake Union and Capitol Hill. Average rents were varied too from $,1646 on Bainbridge Island to $2,306 in South Lake Union and $2,475 in Belltown.  Do you have another neighborhood that you think should be on the list? We’re partial to Maple Leaf of course. We love the neighborhood feel and walkability as well as the convenience to the University of Washington and downtown. Easy freeway access is important too.
