About Seward Park

Seward Park is built around a 300-acre forested peninsula jutting into Lake Washington, one of the largest old-growth forests in any U.S. city. The surrounding residential streets descend from the ridge to the lakefront, with views across the water to Mercer Island and the Cascades.

Housing is a mix of established 1920s–1940s Tudor and Colonial Revival homes on tree-lined streets, mid-century single-family, and a meaningful share of lakefront and view properties. Buyers come for the rare combination of waterfront access, mature forest park, and South Seattle pricing.
