Best Student-Friendly Neighborhoods Near UW: Housing Guide

Introduction

Seattle housing is competitive, but Huskies have several neighborhoods that balance price, lifestyle, and convenience to campus.

1. University District (South Side) – Student-heavy and walkable with budget-friendly shared units.

2. Ravenna – Quiet residential area within biking distance.

3. Wallingford – Affordable shared houses with strong community.

4. Roosevelt – Light rail access and cheaper rents.

5. Northgate – Farther out but well connected by transit.

Conclusion

UW students can save money by looking just beyond the U-District. With Seattle’s transit options, affordability doesn’t have to mean long commutes.
