About Eastlake

Eastlake runs along the eastern shore of Lake Union, a slender residential and commercial strip between I-5 and the water. The neighborhood is best known for its floating home communities — the houseboat docks along Fairview Avenue — and quick access to South Lake Union and downtown.

Housing splits between condos and apartments along the arterials, single-family Craftsman homes on the hill above the lake, and the distinctive floating homes themselves. Buyers seeking houseboat ownership will find one of the city's most active markets for that property type here.
