What it’s like to live in University District
Academic energy pulses through University District, where purple-clad UW students fill cafes along The Ave (University Way). Renters enjoy exceptional public transit and late-night eateries catering to study sessions. Period-appropriate Craftsman homes share blocks with modern apartments featuring rooftop decks. Though student population creates seasonal turnover and weekend noise, the proximity to campus events and Ravenna Park's wooded trails creates an appealing balance of urban energy and natural retreats.

Renter Satisfaction

Apartment List has released Seattle’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.

"Seattle renters expressed general satisfaction with the city overall," according to Apartment List. "With expensive rents in coastal tech hubs, it comes as no surprise that cost of living is a source of dissatisfaction in Seattle."
