"Lots of construction going on currently for the planned light rail stop in 2021 or 2022 in Northgate. Morning commute can be blocked at times, so be prepared to account for an extra 5-10 minutes you need to add to your commute sometimes."

"Much like the rest of Seattle, streets are narrow, parking is limited, it’s incredibly dense. Not every part of this area has sidewalks. Use caution when walking out past dark."

"I've lived in Maple Leaf for over 10 yrs. It's in the middle of every where. Walking or biking down to Greenlake. Express Lane entrance and exit to/from Downtown. 99 is just down the hill. 1 exit from 520. Local streets to UW, U Village, Ballard, Fremont, Northgate, Lakecity. Bike lanes, Parks, and family friendly restaurants all around."

"I lived here for two years and loved it! Great location, I can always find street parking and never had an issue with the two years I parked my car on the street. You can easily walk to the lake and also to Northgate mall and Thornton Place Regal cinema."

"I've lived in this area for 12 years, and now it's the "in spot" of North Seattle. It's less expensive and less crowded than Wallingford or Fremont or Ballard, so buy a house soon, before N. Maple Leaf is really discovered !"

"I'd love to live in this area - there are boutique shops, excellent bus service, and it's so green ! Indeed, Northgate has been transformed into a trendy, chic part of the city !"

"The Maple Leaf area is very family friendly. The local shops do a wonderful job of supporting the community. If you want big corporate chains, the Northgate Mall is reachable on foot in as little as 10 minutes...where you'll also find the Northgate Metro Transit center. "

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTeachers and staff at this small and mighty school are dedicated to our students. I have seen this in many settings, including meetings with teachers and staff. The strength of our school community is inspiring. Principal Friesen leads with professionalism, competence, and compassion. The teachers my child has had have been spectacular.Parent Review2y ago - Fairview Christian School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children have both attended Fairview and thrived. The school has a real community feel and truly cares for each and every student. The class sizes are small with a hands on learning style. The teachers are top notch and very invested in the childrens' well being. Definitely a school worth considering for infant - 8th grade.Parent Review6y ago - St Catherine School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughters attend St Catherine and as a family, we feel well-cared for here. One of my children has significant problems with adhd and the school both detected her problems and have supported her. She is learning and loves her school and extra curricular activities. My other daughter has academic gifts and I trust the school to find ways to challenge her. We love participating with other parents and teachers/administrators to create an amazing experience for our children's mental, social, physical and spiritual learning. This community has supported our children and our family. We feel fortunate and blessed to be here. We recommend this school to other families who are looking for a close knit communityParent Review7y ago
