East Garfield St, Madison Park

East Garfield Street is a short 4-block stretch of residential homes at the south end of Interlaken Park, just a few blocks from the popular Volunteer Park. Housing prices have gone down, though the area sports some pretty high costs for homes. Bordered on the west by Lakeview Cemetary, the neighborhood is quite green and very quiet. A short distance from the Broadmoore Golf Club and Washington Park Arboretum, residents have plenty of natural beauty and entertainment within a short distance. The proximity to the interstate and downtown Seattle offers convenience for commuters, though traffic to and from both can get a bit busy during rush hour. Surrounding streets offer some nice, little out-of-the-way pubs and restaurants and a few little boutique shops.

E Garfield is a nice residential street that intersects with one of the main thoroughfares in the area, E Madison Street. Because of the intersection, there are a number of businesses and shops that residents of E. Garfield can take advantage of. Traffic is heavy on E Madison but not so much along E Garfield, although there are times when vehicles back up trying to approach E Madison Street. The overall neighborhood along E Garfield is quiet and residential. The homes are mid to above average and appear to be well kept. You won't find any Medina mansions or Bill Gates' homes here, but they are nearby.

This area is filled with nice homes and friendly neighborhood charm. Right along the public transportation line this area has easy access to any part of the city you want to travel too. E Garfield crosses the very busy Madison St. Its many local businesses and music shops along this streett. I would recommend this area for the avid music lover.
