Queen Anne, which was first known as Eden Hill, got its name in the late 1800s. It was named after the many mansions in the neighborhood that had been built in the English architectural style. Its steep hills meant it was one of the last neighborhoods to be fully developed since transportation was problematic. This classic neighborhood is named after the “Queen Anne” style of architecture popular on the hill. These sought-after homes are known for their front-facing gables, balconies, and generous bay windows, and lend an elegant atmosphere to the area.

Lifestyle

Queen Anne is a mainly quiet and residential neighborhood with low crime rates and an impressive selection of cafes, restaurants, and shops along walkable Queen Anne Avenue on top of the hill. Residents enjoy easy access to plentiful grocery stores on nearly every block, including Metropolitan Market, Whole Foods, QFC, and Trader Joe’s. While street parking may be scarce, Queen Anne is highly walkable, with an impressive walk score of 92. It’s centrally located and a short drive south into downtown or north to Fremont and Ballard, but out of the way of most city traffic.

Queen Anne’s residents are known for being extremely neighborly and community-centered. Is it often referred to as the only neighborhood in the city where "the 'Seattle freeze' goes to die." Whether you are looking for a top-rated school, a safe and family-friendly community, or a great restaurant scene, Queen Anne checks all the boxes!
