Ravenna

The green belt of Ravenna has become one of the city’s most desirable communities.  Cozy Tudors and bungalows are mixed in with wonderful craftsman-style homes. The streets are quiet and tree-lined, making this a dreamy little pocket of Seattle living.

Good schools, beautiful parks and athletic fields are the focal point for the residents of Ravenna.  On afternoons and weekends, the parks and ball fields are bustling with life and young sports activists.  Ravenna has earned itself a reputation as a wonderful community to raise the family.

While there are a limited number of restaurants and specialty shops within walking distance, many residents of Ravenna simply slip off to other areas for shopping and nightlife. Ravenna is close to Green Lake, the University Village shopping center, and near the freeway for downtown access. Many residents do their shopping on 65th Street, which has beautiful grocery store.
