About Madison Valley
Madison Valley sits along Madison Street between Capitol Hill and Madison Park, with a small but well-loved walkable commercial node featuring some of the city's best restaurants. The neighborhood feels like a transitional zone — quieter than Capitol Hill, less polished than Madison Park.
Housing is a mix of older single-family homes, Craftsman bungalows, and newer townhome infill. Buyers come for the genuine restaurant scene, central location, and the option to walk to Madison Park beach.
