Have you ever wanted to live in a mansion? What about a house with a massive outdoor pool and a backyard that stretches as far as the eye can see?
If the answer to any of those questions is yes, prepare to have your mind blown with these wealthy Seattle neighborhoods.
Denny-Blaine
Denny-Blaine has Madison Park on the north, Lake Washington on the east, Madrona on the south, and Madison Valley on the west. It's an upscale, waterfront residential area in Seattle's east end. This is a peaceful neighborhood with large mansions and rich people. There isn't much in the way of entertainment. However, the Madison Park neighborhood nearby offers plenty of stores and restaurants.
You may enjoy the outdoors at one of the local parks, such as Viretta Park, which features a tribute to Kurt Cobain, the famed Nirvana frontman and former Denny-Blaine resident.
Windermere
The Windermere area of Seattle, named after Windermere in England's Lake District, is located along the beaches of Lake Washington, with Magnuson Park to the north and the Laurelhurst district to the south. Its neatly maintained avenues and exquisite residences, as well as its private ambiance and breathtaking vistas, making it a particularly appealing area to live in. You'll have exclusive access to the Windermere Park & Beach Club, which includes a beach, boat dock, kayak and canoe storage, tennis courts, playground, and a big playfield if you buy waterfront real estate in Windermere.
Windermere also hosts a number of community activities throughout the year, including family fun evenings, movie evenings, and Rock the Dock. You'll be steps away from Magnuson Park, the city's second-biggest park. Swimming, boating, and kite flying are all popular activities in the local area.
Madison Park
Madison Park was a popular destination for residents living in Downtown Seattle in the early 1900s, and it continues to draw visitors from Capitol Hill and beyond, especially on sunny days. It was viewed as a summer escape, with a cable car traveling over the hills to the lake, park, swimming beach, and ferries to places across Lake Washington, despite its proximity to the downtown core.
The buildings are magnificent, the shops and restaurants are stylish and distinct, and you're far enough away from the city to feel like you've actually gone on vacation.
