"No lake views, but great connections"

Despite the name, Green Lake Way doesn't actually go around Green Lake. Instead, it offers access from Aurora to the south end of the lake. For that matter, I find it's a great way to get to Aurora (heading south) from N 50th - which is terrific if I'm trying to avoid I-5 for whatever reason.

Even if there are no views of the lake itself, there are some terrific views of the ball fields in Woodland Park north of 50th. And even if there are no views along the diagonal cut over to Aurora, it's still a decent middle-class neighborhood with some good local businesses nearby. The Kidd Valley at the corner of GLW and Stone is delish!

Whether you love the park and the lake, or want to hop over to Fremont or up to Phinney Ridge for some culture, Green Lake Way offers easy access to everywhere and everything.
