North 65th St, Phinney Ridge / Greenwood

Like many streets in the Seattle area, N. 65th St. is very hilly in areas, with many residential neighborhoods intersecting this high-traffic road. Providing quick access to Green Lake and Hwy 99/Aurora Ave., residents off of this street can enjoy relaxing recreation within five minutes, or a jaunt downtown within 10-15 (during non-peak hours).

The area offers a bit of nature, with trees lining the streets, for the most part. Though not as abundant in natural beauty as other neighborhoods, residents in the area do keep up their homes, yards and gardens nicely. The street is interrupted by Green Lake, picking up again on the east side with more homes, though fewer hills. On the west side, there's a little jog in the road at the Phinney Ridge intersection, which may confuse some newcomers or visitors to the area. For the most part, the neighborhood is very residential, though there are some little restaurants, bars, coffee shops and retail shops along the road.
