L
aurelhurst is also one of Seattle's
wealthiest neighborhoods, with many
homes valued at double average price.
So while it may not have a lot to offer
first time home buyers, it is definitely a
neighborhood to move up to. Spacious and
stylish houses grace the area, particularly
on the Union Bay and Lake Washington
waterfronts. Spectacular and stately homes
combined with the quick access to the
University of Washington and downtown
Seattle means Laurelhurst boasts some of
Seattle's most desirable real estate. Some
of the best views in Seattle happen in
Laurelhurst, too, as the area is surrounded
by water and high enough to glimpse Mt.
Rainier on rare clear days.

Laurelhurst residents are fortunate to have not just
Lake Union and Lake Washington on their shores,
but several parks, including the beloved Center for
Urban Horticulture. Managed by the University of
Washington, "CUH" offers flexible event space for
nearly any event, and
if you live in Seattle
long enough, you'll find
yourself at a meeting,
party, or conference
