West Dravus St, Interbay

W. Dravus St. is one of three access roads into the community of Magnolia, so it sees its fair share of traffic. However, this street-on-a-hill has some of the most beautiful single-family homes in the area, and offers some of them some sweeping views of Puget Sound.
The schools and churches along the street are very nicely maintained, as are the homes and their yards and gardens. The street is broken up by a few steep inclines, making through traffic obsolete. For the quietest living on W. Dravus, stick to west of 30th Ave.
The street offers sidewalks great for evening strolls through the neighborhood, and most sections have a nice covering of trees, though not the greenest street in the area. Home prices along W. Dravus go up as you go up the hill, though all of them are on the high side. Considering the spirit of the Magnolia community and the peaceful living found there, it's worth the cost.

West Dravus is a very steep hill that is surrounded by nice residential homes between the Interbay and Magnolia neighborhoods of Seattle. It has a retail center at the base of the hill in the Interbay neighborhood with a grocery store and restaurants, and then a very steep hill connects that with Magnolia, where very nice homes have commanding views. This is a popular spot for sledding during the winter, but the steep hill makes it somewhat dangerous, so caution is recommended.
