Um…yeah
The Seattle PI had an article about condo buyers looking in the north end for affordable condo options. Highlighting recent pre-sale success of the Sapphire and Fini projects the article mentioned that more development may come to North Seattle.
Well, I agree with the author, but this isn’t earth shattering news. The north end has always been far more affordable compared to downtown core properties. But, new condo construction isn’t new idea either. Look at Lake City, Green Lake, Roosevelt, Wallingford, U-District and Phinney - all have numerous condo projects built within the past 3-4 years. The Greenwood/Phinney neighborhood has seen at least one new condo project a year for the past 5 years.
Unfortunately, with the high-profile downtown area projects, the north end properties have been overlooked. But, they do offer fantastic alternatives for buyers.
