Great location, Okay Building

The apartment is okay - there are definitely things that could be improved and we feel that the managers do the bare-minimum for the residents, but we love the location! Being 2 blocks from 2 main bus routes, 3 blocks from multiple grocery stores, and so many other shops nearby.

About Ballard

Ballard is known as a hip and trendy neighborhood that sits alongside the Shilshole Bay. The town is famous for its neighborhood pride - “Free Ballard!” bumper stickers are easily spotted. The “Free Ballard” quote stems from the decision back in 1907 for Ballard to be annexed by the city of Seattle...

Getting around Ballard


Ballard Reviews

5 reviews
Very self-contained, it clearly has its own identity and is far enough away from the UW that you don't feel like an undergrad living here. Good restaurants, but a little expensive.
Ballard is a rapidly growing neighborhood (designated one of only a few 'Urban Hub Villages) with tons of shops, restaurants, bars, bakeries, coffee shops and more! There are several grocery stores as well and it serves our one-car family well.
great social scene, plenty of breweries and cute shops
A beautiful and fun part of Seattle, Ballard is its own little world. A reasonable bus ride to campus (~30 mins during rush hour), there are a wide variety of restaurants, parks, and most importantly breweries in the area. Central Ballard is becoming increasingly dense but much of the area still feels like a quiet neighborhood.
Ballard is dope, great restaurants and breweries and a nice neighborhood. A little bit further from campus but easy access with the 44 and the Burke Gilman
