Queen Anne Homes For Sale

Originally named Eden Hill, Queen Anne got its name after the “Queen Anne” style of architecture popular on the hill. These sought-after homes are known for their front-facing gables, balconies, and generous bay windows, and lend an elegant atmosphere to the area. The 1962 Seattle World’s Fair was staged in Lower Queen Anne, creating lasting landmarks such as the Space Needle, Climate Pledge Arena, and the Seattle Center, which helped to launch the development of the neighborhood’s lively center street. It is this combination of classic and modern that makes Queen Anne such an incredible place to live.
