If you bought a condo on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, if it were on the East slope, you could easily have a view like this, for as little as $200K. Not only would you get great views of Lake Union, but you can see Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains in the distance. If you're looking for a view condo, just drop us a line or give us a call and we'll send you a few listings so you can see how affordable a view condo can be in Seattle.

Condominium Remodel

Condo remodeling is naturally limiting, but it is possible to move some interior walls to open up less-than-inspired spaces. My favorite contractors are Dyna Contracting. They offer full-service and offer sleek and contemporary remodels in the Seattle area.

Seattle Olive 8 Condominium

Olive 8 is touted as Seattle's first sustainable condominium/hotel community, with everything under one green roof.

Living in a green home offers benefits to residents and to the planet. Olive 8 is the first LEED™ (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certified condominium/hotel building in Seattle. LEED is the most widely-recognized national green building standard and ensures a healthier home. Olive 8’s many cutting-edge, environmentally-friendly features result in 36% less water usage (an approximate savings of 2.4 million gallons per year) and 23% less power usage. Both Hyatt and Olive 8 have fully embraced a seamless green building ethos and sustainable practices.

Olive 8 prices have been "reset" and while some of the larger units are over $1M, it is possible to get a one bedroom/one bath condo for as little as $370,000.

Ballard Condo Alternative

When Your on 65th!, originally uploaded by lifebegreen.

I love the opposing lines on this modern home in Ballard. With little or no yard, it makes a great alternative to a condominium, without the homeowners dues. A home like this would probably range in the 450-600K price range in Ballard, depending on the square footage and location. The Ballard real estate market remains strong, and there are a number of condominiums for sale in Ballard, starting for as low as $200K for an older condo, inching up higher for newer units.

West Seattle-Upon-Sound

These are one of just a few condominiums built out on piers over the water. New laws make it impossible to build something like this today, so if kept up, this building should always keep its value. It's located on the other side of Alki, closer to Lincoln Park.

Rainbow Townhomes

These townhomes are located in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle. I just love the creative use of color! They could have painted them all in the same beige and gray palette, but I think using different colors of the rainbow really sets them apart. These were priced in the upper $400's-$500. They aren't actually condominiums but 0-lot line townhomes.

Modern Condo Design

Condominium, Seattle WA, originally uploaded by Northlightphotography.

I love the open stairwell, as it makes a unit so light and airy and makes it look bigger than it really is. Good modern architecture is timeless and I think this modern look will age very well.

If you're interested in this or any other condo, please call me at 206-329-3795.

Impluvium Condominium

These are beautiful condominiums on Capitol Hill in Seattle, designed by architect Roger Newell. They won the Masonry Design Award in 2008.

Capitol Hill condos have kept their value in relation to other areas in the City of Seattle, due to its close proximity to Downtown Seattle.

Ravenna Woods Condominiums in Seattle

This home is located near Willows Creek and though an urban condo, gives the feeling of living out in the country.

Buying an older condo in Seattle will often times give the buyer a lot more condo for the dollar. If you don't need granite condos or don't mind putting them in yourself, you can save a lot of money!
