Westlake Waterfront Real Estate

Westlake is the smallest neighborhood in Seattle, at .15 square miles, a thin strip of land that was named after its location along the western shores of Lake Union, covering just a few blocks between the shoreline and its western boundary at Aurora Avenue North. If you’ve ever seen the movie “Sleepless in Seattle,” this is the neighborhood where Tom Hanks lived, though to see the floating home, you’ll have to paddle out in a kayak or head out in a boat as it sits at the end of a private dock. If you’re hoping to live in a similar abode, this is one of the best places to do just that, with houseboats and floating homes that are permanently attached to a dock. Just imagine sipping your coffee while gazing at the lake and the boats that glide in and out every morning. While you’ll be right on the water, you won’t be far from city amenities, making this one of the most highly desirable neighborhoods around. Three major arterial roads cut right through as the main routes from downtown to nearby neighborhoods like Wallingford, Ballard and Fremont, and getting to and from downtown is easy too, via car, bus or bicycle.
