The Neighborhood
Greenwood
Greenwood sits north of Phinney Ridge and Green Lake along the commercial corridor of Greenwood Avenue North. The neighborhood has a genuine bar and restaurant scene concentrated around the 85th Street intersection, and the residential streets extending east and west of the avenue carry a mix of older single-family homes, newer townhomes, and the occasional apartment building.
Greenwood functions as an accessible alternative to Ballard and Phinney Ridge for buyers who want a North Seattle residential experience without paying the premiums those neighborhoods carry. The commercial district is active without being saturated, and the neighborhood draws a mix of young buyers and established homeowners who have been in the area for decades.

The Greenwood housing market is primarily single-family homes and newer townhomes. Pricing is generally more accessible than Ballard or Phinney Ridge, making this a neighborhood where buyers who have been searching in more competitive areas often find traction.
New construction townhomes have appeared throughout Greenwood as infill development has accelerated. These offer modern finishes at price points that undercut similarly finished product in Ballard or Fremont. The trade-off is smaller lots and tighter setbacks compared to the existing single-family stock.
