Northwest Blue Ridge Dr
"Strange angles, but nice houses!"
All of the streets in this area are twisted and go at strange angles - no planned blocks here! That makes the street more difficult to navigate and find addresses on, but even so, it's a really nice area. Because it's on the ridge, there are many small mansions on this street. Most of the homes are older and have families or older couples living in them. This makes the neighborhood safer than most. If you can afford a house in this area, I highly recommend this street!

Lotus Ave Southwest
"Tiny street but super cute in W. Seattle"
This street is located in West Seattle, just a block from the beach. It's a very small street but has some cute houses and is really quiet. It can be hard to find if you're driving north on Harbor Ave. Don't miss the left turn right after Fauntleroy Way. Like I said, it's a small street so it can be easy to miss. Just watch where you're going and you'll find it!
Interlake Ave North
"Connects Green Lake to the north end"
This street is an easy way to get from the north end of Seattle down to Green Lake. It ends just a few blocks away. It's simple to park at the south end of the street and walk a few blocks to the lake rather than try to battle the parking lots at the lake. It's a quiet, residential street so your car will be safe! The houses are all well maintained and people seem friendly!

"Adorable street, seconds from the beach"
This street is just amazing. It's tiny - only about 2 blocks long - and located right next to the beach in West Seattle. It has a lot of character for being so small, even though it's in a mostly urban area. Simply cross Harbor Ave, and you're right at the beach! If you're in the neighborhood, swing through Elm Place.

Belmont Ave East
"Unsafe street, noisy at night"
My boyfriend used to live on this street and I visited him regularly. First, it's impossible to find street parking on this street. It's always overcrowded and I used to have to drive around for a long time to find a place to park. Second, it seems unsafe. I've known several people who had their cars get broken into in this street. Third, it was always really noisy at night, since it's so close to the bars on Broadway. If you're into partying and don't have a car, this might be a good street for you, but otherwise, I would suggest going elsewhere.
Midvale Ave North
"Very friendly street in a safe area!"
I have a friend who lives on this street and I visit her regularly. It’s a super cute street! It’s very safe and I often see children playing outside. The neighbors are kind and wave at me when I go to visit. It’s a well maintained street and nice to drive on. There's a green house that always has the best Christmas light displays. The neighborhood is great and so I highly recommend this street!

"Noisy street but near amenities"
This street is really noisy since it's so close to the highway. I used to live here and I'm glad to be away from the dull road of the highway. It's near the shopping mall, though, so that is handy. However, being close to services wasn't worth the noise and traffic on the street for me. I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't mind noise.
Wallingford Ave North
"Great street that ends at a park"
Wallingford Ave. extends several miles but Wallingford Ave. N. is the portion I'm reviewing. It's a nice street but the best part is that it ends right at Meridian Park. I love that park! It's also right next to a great running track that is available for athletic use and a large field for playing games. This street is great to access fun services like this. I've seen lots of people playing with their dogs in the field. Bring your dog and a ball and have a good time!

Albion Pl North
"Short street with great character"
This is a small street that only extends a few blocks, connecting N. 34th St. and Bridge Way. It has some cute houses and some businesses along the street. Lots of character and interesting things to look at. There's also a bus stop for the #16 Metro bus at the north end of the street which is handy.
North 36th St
"Cute street connecting neighborhoods"
This street connects the neighborhoods of Fremont and Wallingford. It’s a cute area with shops as well as residential houses and apartments. I often see lots of bicyclists along the street since it’s near the Burke Gilman trail. Continue down the street to the west and you’ll end up at Gasworks Park. Very nice street in Seattle!

"Really narrow street!"
This street is super narrow and difficult to get a car down safely. Forget it if you have a wide truck, RV, or anything other than a compact car. It’s a small street to begin with. Combine that with people parking on both sides and it’s really small. What really makes it impossible is that a local business parks their delivery trucks on the street, too. No fun!
