A very wealthy neighborhood with a prime spot on the water.
Laurelhurst has a below average violent crime rate and an above average property crime rate for Seattle.
Boasting one of the best locations in a city full of terrific locations, Laurelhurst sits on the shores of Lake Washington to the east and Union Bay on the south, providing spectacular views for the owners of its expensive homes.
This quiet residential neighborhood has good schools, well-kept properties, and a mix of restaurants and businesses. Depending on where you live in Laurelhurst, you may qualify to join the private Laurelhurst Beach Club. For those who don't make the cut, you've still got the Laurelhurst Playfield, which has athletic fields, tennis courts, and a community center.
Laurelhurst is bordered on the north by Hawthorne Hills and Windermere, on the east by Lake Washington, on the south by Union Bay, and on the west by Bryant and University District.
