Magnolia is a large, affluent neighborhood in central Seattle. Its position on a hilly peninsula gives it a secluded, quiet vibe. While there are some apartment buildings and condos, you'll primarily find single-family homes in a range of styles, including Tudor, Cape Code, Spanish, Colonial, Craftsman, and bungalows. Along the water and on top of the neighborhood's hills are some truly impressive mansions that enjoy views of the Sound and Downtown Seattle.
While this is a mostly residential area, there is a commercial district known as "The Village" that has some basic shops and eateries.
Magnolia also boasts the city's largest park: once a military base, Discovery Park has 534 acres (216 hectares) of hiking trails, forest, meadows, two miles of beaches, a historic lighthouse, and great views.
Magnolia is bordered on the south, west, and north by water (Elliott Bay, Puget Sound, and Salmon Bay, respectively) and on the east by Interbay.
