Our Take

Seattle's 98107 neighborhood is a densely populated area with excellent walkability and transit options. Home values have seen significant appreciation since 2022. While it's a great area for those who value proximity to amenities and public transportation, it may not offer the most affordable options. The area is generally safe and well-regarded for education.
