Seattle’s University District sits north of Lake Union, shaped by the University of Washington campus, its tree-lined streets, and easy access to the Burke-Gilman Trail.

Campus landmarks and cultural venues add an academic and historic character, while University Way NE—known locally as “The Ave”—brings together casual dining, coffee shops, bookstores, and everyday shopping. The U District light rail station and frequent bus service connect the neighborhood to downtown and other parts of Seattle; walking and biking are also practical ways to get around. For the University District neighborhood, the median rent is $1,667 per month, with a typical range of $600 to $13,500.
