Question by lolli: Seattle – What are the pros and cons to living in Magnolia or Queen Anne Hill?
I currently live in a small(ish) village near Chicago, and I’m thinking about moving to Seattle.
I like Magnolia, but it seems a little far from downtown.
I like Queen Anne Hill, but I heard some thinks about electricity, and prices, so I don’t know…
Best answer:
Answer by stormibays Magnolia is a bit far and a pain because of traffic. You could do the bus system but difficult. I used to live on lower Queen Anne Hill. Most of queen anne is incredibly expensive! You can rent on the back side of Queen Anne – near Nickerson street closer to Fremont (by the way the best neighborhood ever). Queen Anne is fairly safe. There are really only a few ways on and off the hill and everyone is total yuppieville so not much crime and everyone is looking out for their neighbors.

A view of Queen Anne Hill as seen from Seattle’s Space Needle observation deck. The large structure in the center was built in 1909 as Queen Anne High School. After the high school closed in the early 1980s, the building became residential apartments, and recently was completely renovated and converted to condominium units known as the Queen Anne High School Condominiums. The building is listed on the National Register.

Queen Anne is a neighborhood located in northwest Seattle, Washington. Queen Anne is a wildly popular neighborhood to live in, and people relocate there in droves. This neighborhood is just north of Seattle Center in downtown Seattle and south of the Washington Ship Canal. Queen Anne sits on top of Queen Anne Hill, and overlooks downtown Seattle to the south from an elevation of 450 ft., which is rather considerable for Seattle, which slopes downward toward the ocean. From this high point, Queen Anne has the best views of the Seattle anywhere in the city. Queen Anne residents can easily see the city sprawled beneath them, with Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier unfolding in the distance behind the city skyline. This neighborhood has been voted the “Best Neighborhood in Seattle” by Seattle Magazine two years in a row. And the views are only the beginning.
Historically, Queen Anne was where the wealthy residents of Seattle in the 1800′s and 1900′s imported and built their mansions. This is actually the reason that this neighborhood is called, “Queen Anne;” it is named so after the historic architecture that is so prevalent. In fact, there are walking and driving guided tours where tourists and history lovers can tour the 19th century architecture. While this area is steeped in culture and rich history, however, it is also known for its particular brand of modernism. There is an eclectic, funky aesthetic that is utterly unique to Anne. Anne Avenue is the main thoroughfare through this neighborhood, and it is lined on both sides by funky shops, restaurants, cafe’s, bistro’s and coffee shops. Anne Boulevard is the street that runs in a loop around the crown of the hill. It’s decorative walls are actually considered a Seattle landmark, as the art along it and decorative brickwork should not be missed. There are actually 29 official landmarks located in Anne alone. 12 of these landmarks are some of the historic homes for which the neighborhood is named after.
The seemingly clashing nature of the historic, upper-crust feel mixed with the young, ultra-modern aesthetic is actually quite pleasing, and makes Anne one of the most unique places to live in all of Seattle. There is an attention to the environment and community seen in smaller scale in surrounding areas. This neighborhood is truly family-friendly, while still paying attention to a thriving nightlife and upscale bar/club scene. Anne is full of activities for kids, teens and adults alike. The restaurants in Anne deserve a mention as well- from local and eclectic to the finest in Seattle, this neighborhood has it all. For example, the newest Ethan Stowell restaurant has its home in Anne. It is called How To Cook A Wolf, and features rustic, simple, Italian-inspired dishes that are undoubtedly some of the best meals you can buy.
Whether you are looking for relaxed or opulent, Queen Anne features it. This neighborhood is especially green, with trees and landscaping accenting the whole area. If you are a nature lover, a history lover, a lover of classy or modern, a lover of classic or eclectic, Queen Anne can offer it.

Watch as a Seattle woman interrupts this reporter to give her a piece of her mind for “ruining the fun.” Meg Coyle had been reporting on location at Queen Anne hill in Seattle where people were having fun sledding down this famous street, shut down due to snow and ice. The reporter made viewers aware that there is a law prohibiting “playing in the street” and cautioned people to be safe. The hill was shut down but cars and buses still occasionally passed through, making it a dangerous situation. Not sure if the rude woman realizes that wasn’t the only place getting the “shut down” on play, and wasn’t actually the reporter’s fault. Video Rating: 4 / 5
