Seattle has many distinct neighborhoods to choose from and has something for everyone. Here are some of the best places to live when you're looking for a Seattle apartment for rent:

Positioned between downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill, First Hill is one of the city's most walkable and transit-connected neighborhoods, earning a Walk Score of 99 and a Transit Score of 100. Known locally as "Pill Hill" for its concentration of world-class medical institutions, the neighborhood draws young professionals, healthcare workers, and academics who want a central address with real urban character.

Just east of First Hill along Broadway, Capitol Hill is one of Seattle's most vibrant neighborhoods, known for its restaurant and bar scene, the Pike-Pine Corridor's nightlife, Cal Anderson Park, and a creative community that has long defined the city's arts and music identity.

The city's urban core just west of First Hill offers residents direct access to Pike Place Market, the Seattle Waterfront, Seattle Center, and the Financial District, along with some of the most connected transit in the region.

Home to Amazon's campus and a growing cluster of tech, biotech, and life sciences employers, South Lake Union has transformed into one of Seattle's most in-demand neighborhoods for young professionals, with new restaurants, waterfront access to Lake Union, and a walkable, bike-friendly street grid.

First Hill offers a way of living in Seattle that is hard to replicate elsewhere in the city, combining walkability, transit connectivity, and proximity to world-class medical institutions, downtown Seattle, and some of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated cultural destinations. Here are some of the standout features that make First Hill a great place to call home:

The Exeter sits at 720 Seneca Street in First Hill, with I-5, I-405, SR-520, and Highway 99 all within quick access and a Walk Score of 99 and Transit Score of 100 keeping car-free living fully practical. Freeway Park, Pike Place Market, Seattle Center, the Waterfront, Cal Anderson Park, Amazon, Google, and the University of Washington are all within easy reach.

First Hill's central position puts residents within easy reach of some of the Pacific Northwest's best parks and outdoor destinations. Residents can walk to Cal Anderson Park, explore the waterfront at Myrtle Edwards Park, and access the broader network of Seattle parks and trails throughout every season.

First Hill earns an A-plus rating from Niche for nightlife, diversity, and commuting, and its position between downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill gives residents access to two of the city's most dynamic corridors without the premium of living inside either.

First Hill's community identity is shaped by its historic architecture, the Frye Art Museum, Town Hall Seattle, and the independent restaurants and cafes along Madison Street. From weeknight concerts at Town Hall to weekend mornings at Pike Place Market, residents have a remarkable range of cultural life right outside their door.

There are many fun activities to do in First Hill and the surrounding area! The Exeter's location on Seneca Street puts residents within walking distance of Cal Anderson Park, Pike Place Market, and some of Seattle's most celebrated cultural, dining, and waterfront destinations.

The resident lounge offers a relaxed setting to decompress, connect with neighbors, or work from a fresh perspective. Secure bike storage makes it easy to take advantage of First Hill's Bike Score of 78 and the city's growing network of lanes and paths throughout Seattle.

The Exeter's attached garage parking keeps your vehicle secure and accessible, a practical amenity for residents who commute regionally via I-5, I-405, SR-520, or Highway 99. It is a convenience that makes the building's central First Hill address work for drivers and transit riders alike.
