The Neighborhood
Olympic Manor
Olympic Manor is a residential neighborhood on the ridge between Carkeek Park and the Phinney Ridge corridor, characterized by a concentration of mid-century single-family homes and territorial views from its elevated position. The neighborhood developed primarily in the post-war period and has maintained a consistent residential scale and character since.
The ridge setting provides territorial and, from some positions, Puget Sound views that make the neighborhood more visually interesting than its modest public profile would suggest. Olympic Manor sits in a transitional zone between the bluff communities of Broadview and Blue Ridge to the north and the denser residential character of Greenwood and Phinney Ridge to the south and east, close enough to both to borrow from each.

Real Estate
Real Estate in Olympic Manor
Mid-century homes dominate the Olympic Manor housing stock: ranches, split-levels, and post-war construction that have been variously updated, remodeled, or maintained in original condition. The neighborhood offers reasonable value for the ridge setting and view potential, particularly relative to more prominently positioned neighborhoods nearby.
Buyers should evaluate individual homes carefully on their specific lot position and view exposure. The ridge topography means that incremental elevation changes produce meaningful differences in outlook, and the best view sites within Olympic Manor are genuinely compelling at the price point.
