South Lake Union
RSS FEED
Properties in the developing neighborhood of South Lake Union offer views of Lake Union as well as the city’s iconic Space Needle. While you may still feel a bit like an urban pioneer living here—new buildings are sprinkled amongst the area’s original warehouses and industrial properties—the landscape is rapidly changing as high-tech businesses move in, retail expands and condos reach completion. Attractive amenities include a Whole Foods Market, Tutta Bella Pizzeria and of course, the South Lake Union Streetcar for easy transport between the lake and downtown.
