"Nice little neighborhood with a lot of locally owned shops and restaurants"

This neighborhood has been voted U.S. Neighborhood of the Year and Washington's Neighborhood of the Year several times, so it must be a great place! Just north of Green Lake, Maple Leaf presents views of the Cascades and the Olympic Mountains. It truly is a beautiful location. There are alot of great restaurants and retail shopping venues. The community is smaller, I believe around 20K or more, and due to its size there is a lot of unity. The residents stick together on keeping the parks clean and the area green.

Popular restaurants and cafes in Maple Leaf include Cloud City Coffee along Roosevelt Way, Madres Kitchen on NE 80th, and Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon also on Roosevelt Way NE. Lots of locally owned retail shops are scattered along 5th Avenue, Roosevelt Avenue, and Roosevelt Way. You may find anything from an art studio or gallery to a locally owned hardware store. The Northwest Puppet Center on 15th Avenue draws children and families from all over Seattle.

Some of the better schools in the area include Olympic View Elementary on 94th Street, Fairview Christian School on 78th Street, and Sacajawea Elementary on 20th Avenue. There are also some local churches in the neighborhood.

"Quiet, Relaxing Maple Leaf a great place to raise kids."

Maple Leaf is a fantastic location to live in Seattle. It has a little of everything but is located perfectly in relation to other neighborhoods so that anything that is unavailable in Maple Leaf is within easy reach. Close to Fremont for bars and nightlife, close to Northgate for plenty of shopping options and close to Greenlake for a picturesque walk. Maple Leaf is also close enough to Downtown, with great public transport, so that it is easy to get there. Overall, it is the fact that Maple Leaf is quiet, serene and safe, but still with lots to do, that makes it a great place to raise kids or to enjoy the peaceful life with loved ones.

"A quiet and charming little neighborhood"

The neighborhood of Maple Leaf is in the North Seattle area. Maple Leaf is located east of Interstate 5 and north of the neighborhood of Roosevelt. Maple Leaf is located just west of Lake City and Highway 522 serves as the border between Lake City and Maple Leaf.

Maple Leaf is a quiet, charming community, chock full of mid-century homes, brick houses, ramblers and two-story houses that cozy up with blackberry bushes, flocks of giant trees and memories of childhood. A row of condominiums stands at the edge of the neighborhood and appears to be a barricade into the community.

The yards are small but pulsing with personality—not just in the free-spirited rose gardens and flowers, but the lawn décor as well. There is virtually no noise from the busier surrounding sections of town. Maple Leaf has views going east and west, to the Cascade Mountain range and Olympic Mountains.

Between Northgate Mall and Roosevelt, there are plenty of stores, entertainment offerings, and business sections to choose from. This is a well lived-in community and the residents seem very happy and well-established here.
