College Way North, Licton Springs

College Way N borders North Seattle Community College to the west. They have the cutest houses I've ever seen in Seattle! They are half-sized houses that are painted all sorts of fun colors. I'm not sure they would be everybody's cup of tea, but they remind me of some sort of fantasy land :)

The area itself is pretty nice to live in. The neighborhood around North Seattle Community college has a residential vibe, which makes it feel safe. There are a lot of students crossing at the crosswalks during school hours, but the traffic doesn't get that bad. It's also the best place in this area to catch a bus! If you don't mind the walk, it's fairly close to both Greenlake and Northgate Way. Or less than a 5 minute drive if you're not a walker!
