"Out of the way, but not too far"
11th W runs fairly straight along the western slope of Queen Anne Hill. It's a great opportunity for views, especially further to the south. If you're looking to buy, double check your sight lines: you may find yourself staring at the fishing boats of Ballard or the railyards that separate you from Magnolia.
Hardly anyone wanders down to 11th from Queen Anne Ave, or up from 15th, so the neighborhood has a quiet, almost secluded feel to it. The houses and occasional apartment buildings are modest (by Queen Anne standards) and the traffic is minimal. Some train noise floats up occasionally from the railyards at the base of the hill, but I like trains so it doesn't bug me a bit.
Watch out for some odd twists and one-way spots. This part of the hill can be a bit of a maze, so bring a map if you're not familiar with the area.
