Hi. Me and my husband (no kids, two dogs) have been living in Olympia for a couple months now. My husband said our next house can be wherever I want as long as he can have a yard. With that said, what are some good neighborhoods to pick from? We're young, so we don't want to get stuck in an older neighborhood (no offense) because we are already in one (a lot of retirees). Nothing wrong w/ the older crowd- just not for us. Thanks guys and girls!!!

Your housing budget will largely determine the answer to your question, also more specifics about commute and other needs would be good too.

Perhaps you could provide a bit more info?

We are looking at no more than 600K for a house, close to downtown area in general. We were looking into Queen Anne, but don't know the area yet. Actually, we are going to drive up there tomorrow and check out neighborhoods. Thanks for the help Jenbar

You may want to check out the Greenwood area. It's near places like Greenlake, Ballard etc - but a bit closer to the freeway and less expensive. It's not close to downtown though.

Wallingford and Phinney Ridge may also have a few things in your price range.

Central District is up and coming, but still has some homes in that price range. It's close to downtown and Capital Hill. I really like this neighborhood right now, if schools/kid friendly stuff is not a concern.

Not knowing exactly what you want in a neighborhood - those are some to start with.

If I was young and Hip (which I am) and KIDLESS (which I'm not) and had 600K

I'd be looking at Condos or homes in Ballard, or Fremont or Walling ford - those are the hip areas - Queen Anne is also VERY nice

I live in Greenwood/Greenlake area, and I think it's "Seattle" but I wouldn't call it hip

I think of Capital Hill as hip. Or Fremont. Wallingford seems hip to me, but more "hip young family" than "hip scenester"...

Thanks Jenbar and CityGirl72! Me and my husband actually drove thru Queen Anne yesterday and were pretty impressed. We'll definitely be checking out all your other suggestions!
