About Sunset Hill

Sunset Hill sits on the bluff above the Ballard Locks, with west-facing views over Shilshole Bay and the Olympics — some of the best sunset views in the city, hence the name. The character is residential and family-oriented, with strong long-term ownership.

Housing is a mix of mid-century single-family and older Craftsman, with view homes on the bluff commanding significant premiums. Buyers come specifically for the views and proximity to Ballard and Golden Gardens beach.
