Central District
RSS FEED
This classic neighborhood, like Capitol Hill, offers homes with grace and character, and a great commute to downtown. Development appears to be continuing in this most, well, central of all Seattle neighborhoods, as homes are restored and new businesses go in. The city’s historic African-American neighborhood hosts plenty of gorgeous old Seattle classics and Craftsman-style homes, along with smaller bungalows. Garfield, one of the city’s top public high schools, is located here, as are numerous medical offices and hospitals.
