'Pros: Easier access to the area's natural beauty (hiking, skiing, boating). Parking and traffic are both a hassle in this city, but there are definitely times when it's worth it.' Natalie Berg '16 I take public transit much more often than I drive, but sometimes driving is much more convenient. Traffic also isn't so bad, generally, but monthly parking prices (and parking prices in general) can be atrocious.' Dylan Plung '11 Public transit is great but if you don't have a car you will inevitably end up relying with some frequency on services like Uber or Lyft. 'The best thing about having a car in the city is that you can really get around. But you can find cheaper housing in the Greenwood or Maple Leaf areas.' Transportation As far as neighborhoods, it totally depends on where in Seattle you are working. You'll be able to get a lot larger and nicer of a place than you would on your own. 'If you can get in contact with other Whitman grads and try and rent a house or apartment together. 'Craigslist - old but still completely relevant!' Neighborhoods that are close to the light rail line (such as Capitol Hill, The University District, Beacon Hill) are convenient for public transportation.' In terms of neighborhoods, it depends a lot on where you are working or going to school. 'In terms of resources, I definitely recommend Craigslist. Seattle housing is expensive and moves fast!' I've had the best luck with personal connections and recommendations that can find you the best roomies and prices. 'Find friends or friends of friends or coworkers, Whitman connections, etc. Otherwise Zillow works well in this town.' Matt Dittrich '12 'Ask on Facebook (personal timeline or Seattle Alumni timeline). Can be a little tricky to navigate but I know plenty of folks who've found housing that way.' Jeffrey Gustaveson '18 Be cognizant that you aren't gentrifying folks in the South end of Seattle.' Kaitie Dong '18 'Fremont, Ballard, Capitol Hill.' Gretchen Swanson '11 'Wallingford, Beacon Hill, Ravenna.' George Felton '15 Cons: Expensive, not that close to public transit, street parking isn't great.'

Cons: Neighborhood is generally lower-key than other neighborhoods (most things to do are around Greenlake but not in it).Ĭapitol Hill - Pros: Trendy, hip, young, close to downtown and UW, great food. Green lake - Pros: Right on a beautiful lake, cheaper housing than Wallingford or Fremont, close to transit line, many of Whitties live around here.

Cons: Many UW students, more of a college-town vibe than a post-collegiate professional vibe. U Village - Pros: Cheap good food, close to rec sports areas, lots of UW students, semi-affordable housing and close to transit going south. Living here without a car is kind of tough to get anywhere else. Cons: Kind of far from most other things in Seattle (except Golden Gardens and Northern Beach areas) and not that close to transit. Similar vibes otherwise.īallard - Pros: Great neighborhood feel, also hip and trendy without being prohibitively expensive. Wallingford - Basically a more residential Fremont. Cons: Expensive (and getting more so), North of water makes commuting South of Lake Union a bit of a pain. Cons: Kinda far from everything except the Capitol Hill scene, not great public transit.įremont - Pros: All the same perks as Capitol Hill (trendy, cool, interesting) but a little less young (more slightly older professional kind of crowd). Madison Valley/Madrona/Leschi - Pros: Residential and quiet, more affordable than Capitol Hill while being very close to the Capitol Hill scene, great restaurants and beautiful running trails. Cons: Little less safe than North Downtown, less gentrified than other neighborhoods (although could be a good thing). South Downtown (Pioneer Square/International District) - Pros: All the benefits of North Downtown with lower costs, up and coming neighborhood, great food. Cons: Very expensive, louder and less safe than more residential neighborhoods. 'North Downtown (Belltown/South Lake Union/Lower Queen Anne area) - Pros: Right in the heart of the city, close to public transit and close to the water.
