    "No body picks up after their dogs since they walk BLOCKS just to use the SAME GRASS SPOTS EVERYONE ELSE USES OR GO IN FRONT OF OTHERS PRIVATE LAWNS thinking no one is going to catch them. "
  • Trulia User
    "It’s not family friend but areas outside the Main Street with shops or areas close to university village are nicer for families "
  • Ailsasmom
    "The commute from my house is great. We have quick access to 1-5 and 99. It only takes 10 minutes to drive to downtown. "
  • Alexandra D.
    "There are many dogs around the area and people tend to walk then around the 3 mile trial around Greenlake "
  • Grace.spencer
    "We love this area! Great parks, restaurants, friendly, close to downtown Seattle.... it’s a gem in Seattle!"
  • Levina
    "Amazing park for kids and dogs. Great to take kids for a stroll. Safe neighbourhood though colleagues told me to not go jogging in the park too early/late when it’s dark to not get your phone stolen."
  • JBP
    "Mostly friendly neighbors, and courteous, shop keepers and staff that go out of their To help. Seafair in August, community preforming arts theaters, and professional theaters such as the Seattle Repertory Theatre, the Seattle Opera; The Seattle Symphony, etc."
  • Jaybparrish
    "We are retired and the commute to grocery, pharmacy and Physician’s office is convenient. Friendly neighborhood "
  • Deboramchugh
    "It’s awesome not to depend on a car to go groceries, gym, kids school, coffees, pubs, restaurants... I can go on and on! "
  • Skylar T.
    "The lake is so close and so great to walk to. We have a lot of close shops and restaurants to go to. "
  • Wilma T. A.
    "Just visiting. I have family in this neighborhood and I am visiting from out of state. The summer is beautiful here, lots of outdoor activities and places to go for walk. "
  • Miriamb
    "Living in Green Lake is a dream. The location is close to a plethora of bus stops, the freeway, and a park and ride, ensuring a smooth commute to work or school. You're also close to neighborhoods, like the University District, Wallingford and Ballard. This is a very pet-friendly neighborhood, and it's often hard to complete walking around the lake without stopping to pet an adorable dog every couple of feet. I feel safe in Green Lake, and rent tends to be a little cheaper, but you certainly won't sacrifice on convenience, or lack of amenities. Green Lake truly offers the best of both worlds! "
  • Ida S.
    "I just moved the Green Lake area and it is really nice! It is very family friendly neighborhood. It is definitely nice having Green Lake as your front yard. There is a good mix of restaurants (fancy and casual), bars and coffee. I definitely feel safe at night which is a plus in Seattle!"
  • Lauren T.
    "I've lived in Green Lake for nearly a year and I love it! Green Lake is great for an active lifestyle. Besides the obvious running/biking trail around the lake, there's also a surprising number of gyms and workout studios nearby. There's also a few great local spots to grab coffee and drinks - Latona Pub, Cafe Lulu and Fix Coffeehouse are my favorites. Definitely a walkable neighborhood...which is good, because parking is scarce, especially in warmer weather when people from outside the neighborhood drive to the lake. Overall though, totally worth it!"
  • do n. c.
    "I have lived in Green Lake for 4 years and 1 year at this specific location. I always feel safe walking to and from my bus stop. There is some freeway noise but nothing like other Green Lake areas I have lived. The Lake is just down the road, and close to shops and restaurants and great breakfast locations like Dish and Butcher & the Baker!"
