Located on a peninsula sticking into Lake Washington, Laurelhurst has been a part of the city since 1910, maintaining a reputation as a well-to-do neighborhood chosen by those who wanted to live in a quieter community while remaining connected to the rest of the city. The streets wind peacefully through the neighborhood and homes are situated on little cul-de-sacs, tucked away behind lovely tree lines, creating one of the most picturesque settings in Seattle. If it weren’t for the views from the top of the hill, you wouldn’t even know you’re in a big city. With an easy commute to busier areas like the University District and downtown there really isn’t a better place to live in town.
