One of Seattle’s oldest neighborhoods, Belltown (or Denny Regrade) is also one of its most dynamic. A transformation has occurred in recent years as young professionals, middle-aged empty nesters and others have relocated here.
Approximately 13,000 Belltown residents represent the largest residential base of any downtown neighborhood. No longer a gritty, inner-city neighborhood, Belltown is an urban oasis–complete with P-patch garden, historic Cottage Park and the spectacular Olympic Sculpture Park. Belltown ranked 29th in the country on Money Magazine’s 2007 “Best Neighborhoods to Retire” list.
Belltown’s “in-city” location, amenity-laden apartments, upscale condos, trendy shops and sophisticated new eateries, along with popular musical venues like Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley, the Crocodile Café and the Moore Theatre that showcase local and national talent, exemplify urban living at its best.
