This is a neighborhood that saddles one of the highest points in Seattle. Minutes from downtown and right next door to the Seattle Center, Queen Anne boasts vintage houses and amazing views of the city and Puget Sound, the neighborhood is reminiscent of the great suburban villages of Chicago and Connecticut.

Queen Anne may best be known as "Frasier's" home turf. There are bustling families and couples, elegant apartment houses, dogs aplenty, bakeries, a mix of restaurants, some hot spots for singles, and coffee bars galore — all in refreshing and energized proximity to the quiet, tree-lined charm of turn-of-the-century houses that blanket this hilltop.
