West Roy St, Lower Queen Anne

Although W. Roy St. is at the base of Queen Anne, you may still be able to find an apartment building with a view. The street is very quiet and green and the neighbors are very friendly. Most people in the area prefer alternative transportation and you'll often see pedestrians and bicyclists heading to Queen Anne shops and restaurants or going downtown. The rents and home prices are on the expensive side, in keeping with Seattle tradition, but the traffic is minimal, the streets are quiet and the location is exceptional.

West Roy Street is coed heaven! I might be a little bias because I live on this street and it is my first apartment away from home. Condo style apartments pretty much take up the whole left side of the street coming from the North end and the other side is blocked apartments done in brick architecture. The road is an exceptionally tight squeeze. All of our cars are parked on the street and the street itself is so narrow that when someone is coming from the opposite lane you need to duck your car in between spaces to let the other pass. That is such a drag! Overall I love my street. Besides being a great party crawl it is also conveniently located near West Mercer and within walking distance to the boat docks.
