Stone Ave North, Parkwood

One of my best friends lives on this street, so I'm over there quite a bit...all the time actually. It's another affordable apartment/condo development street near North Seattle Community College. If you're looking for a nice, "suburby" place to live still in Seattle, I would say this is a great place. Perfect neighborhood for going on runs. Depending on how far south you live, it's also walking distance from Greenlake, which is perfect in during the few sunny days we get. However, parking is a nightmare here. And a lot of the people who live here seem to be the passive-aggressive sort who leave all sorts of warning notes on your car... It's a few streets down from Aurora, which has a bad rep, but it's been safe enough during the 4 years or so I've been coming here!
