Nestled in the northwest of Seattle just above Phinney Ridge is the bungalow capitol of Seattle known as Greenwood. Living here, one definitely feels part of a tight knit and slightly quirky community. Anchored by businesses like Gordito’s, Diva Espresso, Taproot Theater and Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co (the front biz for one of our Community Partnerships, 826-Seattle), one can see this hood is alive and thriving. Greenwood Avenue, the main thoroughfare, is full of local cafes, pubs, antique shops and unique boutiques. And let’s not forget that Greenwood is hosts to the annual Greenwood Classic Car Show and the Greenwood Seafair Parade. A northwest hood anyone would be proud to call home.
Greenwood is also one of Team Diva’s designated up and coming neighborhoods for several reasons. Specifically one can still find a super deal in this hood on a charming home. It has some of the same amenities as Ballard but its a smidge cheaper. Greenwood is closer to the Hwy 99 route to downtown Seattle and easy access to the University of Washington. Right now the average “For Sale” price in Ballard is $450K where as in Greenwood its $349K. The inventory is overall lower in Greenwood with many savvy buyers discovering the secret of this favorite Diva Hood!
