"A nice place to live, play and visit"
Greenwood Ave has quite a few specialty shops, restaurants and attractions for tourists and Seattle natives. The buildings on the street aren't award-winning caliber, like some of the downtown buildings, but they're nice and well maintained. The street has an abundance of leaf trees that provide shade in the summertime and a feel for nature in the middle of a city. The street is also fairly wide, with parking on both sides, offering a main thoroughfare for businesses.
The neighbordhoods off of Greenwood Ave are quiet residential havens, with quick access to downtown Seattle and freeway traffic.
It also offers a fairly good alternate route for north or southbound traffic when Hwy 99/Aurora Ave is backed up (with fewer lights, to boot).

"Lots of apartments with the perfect Ale House!"
Greenwood Avenue North is a typical apartment lined Seattle street. There is not a lot of ambience and little to no character, but it is an average priced area for rental apartments or condos. You won't find any high end downtown condominiums along this street. While I don't travel here often, I do get down a couple of times a year. In fact, I was here last week to go to the 74th Street Ale House that is located along Greenwood Avenue. I love this place and every time I am here I swear I will be back again soon, but another 6-8 months passes by before I venture back. If I lived a little closer I would call their food to go line and order take-out often so it is probably a good thing I don't live nearby. If in the area, try the Baked Goat Cheese Salad and Red Reuben Sandwich or the Mediterranean Plate, both are exquisite.

"A good place to live, especially for apartment dwellers."
Greenwood Ave N between N105th and N 145th is lined with apartment houses, most of them built within the past 10 years. Go a couple of blocks to the east or west and you are in neighborhoods with single family dwellings. Shopping is close by, there's a branch Seattle library on 125th and bus service is excellent. While not much to look at (looks like any other street) this is a nice place to live.
