The Neighborhood
Crown Hill
Crown Hill occupies the area between Ballard and Greenwood, offering a residential experience that draws on both neighborhoods' character without fully belonging to either. The housing stock is primarily older single-family homes with newer townhome infill, and the neighborhood has attracted buyers who have been priced out of Ballard but want to remain in the northwest quadrant of the city.
The commercial presence along 15th Avenue Northwest provides day-to-day services without the depth of Ballard's commercial district. For buyers prioritizing residential quiet and accessible pricing over walkable retail density, Crown Hill represents a reasonable middle ground.

Single-family homes and townhomes are the primary housing types in Crown Hill. Pricing sits below Ballard and Sunset Hill, which has made the neighborhood a consistent destination for buyers who want northwest Seattle proximity without the competition of Ballard's market.
Townhome development has been active in Crown Hill as the neighborhood's zoning allows for higher density infill than many surrounding areas. These newer buildings offer an entry point for buyers who cannot compete for single-family homes in Ballard or Greenwood.
Housing Types
- Single-family homes
- Bungalows
- Townhomes
- New construction infill
