Location, Location, Location
The advantage of the location cannot be overstated.… Roanoke park is the precise geographical center of the city of Seattle. Queen Anne, Madison Park, Laurelhurst and Magnolia are all lovely neighborhoods too, but they are on the city's edges and require significant travel effort to reach the center, downtown, another edge, or destinations further afield via freeway. From Roanoke Park, you can be on I-5 (North-South) or 520 (East-West) in 2 minutes, or since you are in the center, you can navigate to any of the city's edges in 8 minutes or less and without getting on a freeway. Living here means that all of greater Seattle is accessible and that "time in traffic" does not dominate your consideration of where and when you go.
The Neighborhood
The Roanoke Park neighborhood occupies an increasingly special place in Seattle's landscape of the old elite neighborhoods. Its 99 homes have the unique charm of being both architectually diverse but also uniform in their preservation of that pre-1920 period of architectural grandeur. Many of the homes have had famous occupants and have extensive and colorful histories, as recorded in books such as Classic houses of Seattle: High Style to Vernacular, 1870-1950 by Caroline Swope.
Encompassing what is arguably Seattle's best kept city park at the top of a 3-sided bluff, showcasing large family estate-like family homes from a bygone era, boasting wide sidewalks and flat streets lined with century-old Dutch elms, Roanoke park is an urban timewarp, like living in a Norman Rockwell painting. Even the modern telephone poles are mysteriously recessed to the edges and alleys. If you just took today's late model German cars off the streets and replaced them with 1920's classics, you are on location in a timeless turn-of-the-century movie set.
But what makes Roanoke park really special is the neighborhood feel and the community of families that live here. The diverse occupants are a combination of long-time families who've been here forever and new young families with children who intend to stay at least that long. Scores of children from 0-18 can walk to their preschool co-op at the parish, across the way to Seward primary or the Bertschi school and high schoolers to Seattle prep
all among Seattle's very best. Whether your kids are babysitters or sittees, there's more fabulous options than any one family could take advantage of here. The neighborhood activities which foster genuine community here are widespread and include:
" The annual Picnic in August. Potluck food, Ice cream, bouncy castles for the kids, the whole 9 yards.
" Halloween: all the tricker-treaters and their parents (many also costumed) gather in one of the homes for food and drink for an hour prior to fanning out for the candy. We hosted it in 2006 and over 100 neighbors showed up.
" Garden workdays in the park, annual multi-family yard sales, email distribution lists of every family with kids
" Help when you need it. We only lived here 4 years, but when we had twin boys and a tough recovery, one of our neighbors set up a meal "care calendar" and neighbors and friends brought us meals every other night for more than 2 months.
