Link to Eastlake Neighborhood Map
Eastlake is one of Seattle's oldest and best-defined neighborhoods. It is east of Lake Union (hence the name "Eastlake"), south of University bridge, west if Interstate 5, and north of Mercer Street. The neighborhood consists of neat rows of houseboats nine and 10 deep fingering out into the lake. The houseboats are neighbors to low-rise office buildings, trendy restaurants, biotechnology firms, and the remnants of a century old history of lakefront industry. Luxurious upland townhouses rub gutters and garden gates with Victorian houses, the apartment buildings that followed them in the 1920s, and other, modest single-family dwellings. Thirty-six hundred residents currently (2001) live in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood.
Over the past twenty years residents of Eastlake have worked hard to conserve the character of the neighborhood, plant street trees, to develop shoreline parks and points of interest along the shores of Lake Union, to install public art and to plan for transportation and future development through its neighborhood plan. Peering down from a Cessna floatplane circling for a landing on Seattle's Lake Union, the airborne person can easily see the wedge shape of the Eastlake neighborhood through the clouds. Eastlake is bounded on the west and north by the L-shaped Lake Union, on the east by the I-5 freeway and on the south by the Mercer Street corridor.
Median Prices: Homes $492,000; Condos $276,475.
