Eastlake
Nestled along the eastern shore of Lake Union, Eastlake offers a unique blend of urban convenience and waterfront charm. This walkable Seattle neighborhood is known for its eclectic mix of housing—from historic Craftsman homes and modern townhouses to the iconic floating homes made famous by Sleepless in Seattle. Residents enjoy easy access to downtown Seattle (just 10 minutes away) and Bellevue (about 20 minutes via I-5 or SR 520), making Eastlake an ideal spot for commuters seeking a serene, community-focused environment.
Eastlake Avenue, the heart of the neighborhood, is lined with beloved local establishments. Start your day with a hearty brunch at the iconic 14 Carrot Café, savor rustic Italian dishes at Serafina, or enjoy lakeside cocktails at Little Water Cantina. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Cheshiahud Lake Union Loop, paddleboard on the lake, or unwind at pocket parks like Fairview Park and the I-5 Colonnade Bike Park. Eastlake attracts a mix of young professionals, long-time locals, college students from nearby UW, and small families who value the balance of city access and neighborhood charm. With its blend of natural beauty, diverse dining, and close-knit community, Eastlake stands out as one of Seattle's most distinctive neighborhoods.
