Maple Leaf is considered one of the most livable neighborhoods in Seattle, with easy access to UW, Green Lake, light rail stations at Northgate or Roosevelt, I-5, and bus lines. It has numerous restaurants and cafes. The popular Maple Leaf Reservoir Park is a neighborhood hub with views of downtown, across Lake Washington, and the mountains beyond. Both the park and Macrina Bakery are less than a 10 minute walk. From our building, walk just a minute or two to neighborhood gems Cafe Javasti and Kona Kitchen.
