Wedgwood Real Estate

Wedgwood is a neighborhood within the city of Seattle that is found just a couple miles to the north of the University of Washington. It is located near Sand Point Country Club, and the surrounding neighborhoods of Northeast Seattle, Matthew Beach, and Meadowbrook. Although the community is largely residential, there is a small area of commercial development as well. 

There is a mix of housing types available within the Wedgwood neighborhood, including single family homes and apartments. The home prices within the area are typical of the city as a whole, with median prices well over $500,000. While real estate isn’t cheap in Wedgwood, it is actually more affordable than in some of the other parts of the city. Considering the proximity to the University of Washington, housing prices in this area make it an attractive option for a range of buyers. 

Most of the communities within Seattle are not far from some kind of water, and Wedgwood is no different. Only a few blocks from the shores of Lake Washington, Wedgwood residents can enjoy the lake from the access provided at Matthews Beach Park. In the opposite direction, the water of Green Lake is also just a short distance away across I-5. For retail options, the University Village Shopping Center is just a couple miles south from the neighborhood, adjacent to the UW. The ease of commuting from Wedgwood is another advantage, as residents can be on I-5 and traveling north or south in just a matter of minutes from leaving home. 

Watching the MLS listings closely is a necessary activity for anyone wishing to live within the neighborhood of Wedgwood. There are a limited number of listings that come on the market within the community, with as few as just a few homes frequently available at any one time. When houses for sale do appear in the listings, they shouldn’t be expected to remain available for long.
