Why This Corridor
Pike Place Market — On Your Doorstep
Living in the Pike Place district means the Market is not a destination — it's your grocery store, your Tuesday afternoon walk, and your guest itinerary. Residents of Pike & Virginia, Market Court, and Market Place North are within 60 seconds of the Market entrance on foot.
Post-Viaduct Waterfront Transformation
Seattle's replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct with a tunnel is reshaping the waterfront into an expanded public promenade. The transformation is ongoing — buyers purchasing in the waterfront corridor now are acquiring ahead of a major public amenity buildout that will increase the value of these addresses.
Elliott Bay & Olympic Mountain Views
Buildings in this corridor — especially Hillclimb Court and Waterfront Landings — deliver some of the most direct Elliott Bay and Olympic Mountain views available in Seattle at a mid-rise price point. Views that would require a tower floor 20+ in Belltown begin at floor 3–4 here.
Ferry Access for Eastside Commuters
The Bainbridge Island and Bremerton ferries depart from the waterfront terminal adjacent to Waterfront Landings. For buyers who work on the Peninsula or commute to Bainbridge, no Seattle address is better positioned.

Buildings in This Corridor
Five boutique residential buildings from the Pike Place Market entrance to the Elliott Bay waterfront. Each occupies a position that cannot be replicated by new construction.
Pike & Virginia Building
~2001Steps from Pike Place Market main entrance
Address
Pike St & Virginia St, Pike Place
Units
~55
The address says everything — positioned at the intersection of Pike and Virginia, the Pike & Virginia Building is as close to the Market as any residential address in Seattle. Upper floors capture Elliott Bay views across the Pike Place rooftops.
Market Place North
~20001 block from Pike Place Market
Address
Pike Place Market district
Units
~70
Part of the Market's extended residential fabric, Market Place North puts residents in the middle of the Pike Place corridor — farmers market, fish market, artisan vendors, and the Seattle waterfront all on foot.
Market Court
~2001Steps to Pike Place Market
Address
Pike Place Market area
Units
~60
Courtyard-entry boutique building in the Pike Place district. Quiet residential pocket within one of Seattle's most vibrant neighborhoods — the urban activation is all around you but not at your doorstep.
Hillclimb Court
~2001Pike Place Hillclimb, waterfront access
Address
Post Alley / Pike Place Hillclimb area
Units
~45
Positioned on the Hillclimb connecting Pike Place to the waterfront — residents walk down to the ferry terminal, Olympic Sculpture Park, and the waterfront promenade in minutes. Elliott Bay views from upper floors are direct and unobstructed.
Waterfront Landings
~2001Alaskan Way waterfront, Ferry Terminal
Address
Seattle waterfront / Alaskan Way
Units
~80
As close to the water as any residential building in Seattle — Waterfront Landings sits on Alaskan Way with direct access to the ferry terminal, waterfront promenade, and the Seattle Aquarium. Elliott Bay and Olympic Mountain views are the building's defining asset.
Why Buyers Choose RexMont for Pike Place & Waterfront Condos
These buildings are small, boutique, and infrequently listed. When a unit comes to market, buyers who know the building — view thresholds, HOA health, noise dynamics — move faster and with more confidence.
Views at Lower Floor Heights
The Pike Place and waterfront corridor drops quickly from Pike Street to the water — buildings here gain Elliott Bay view access at much lower floor heights than tower addresses in Belltown or downtown. Sound-view units are often accessible at floor 3–5 rather than floor 15+.
Boutique Scale in a World-Class Location
All five buildings in this district have 45–80 units — far smaller than any Belltown tower. Buyers get one of Seattle's most iconic addresses at a neighborhood-building scale: smaller HOA, lower overhead, and a community feel unlike any high-rise.
Waterfront Appreciation Tailwind
The Alaskan Way waterfront redevelopment is still underway. Early buyers in this corridor are purchasing ahead of a major public-realm investment that will increase the attractiveness and value of all waterfront-adjacent addresses in Seattle.
Irreplaceable Location
New residential development cannot be built on top of the existing Pike Place Market or on the waterfront promenade. The buildings in this guide occupy a location that cannot be replicated — scarcity is a durable long-term value driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it noisy to live near Pike Place Market?
Pike Place Market closes in the evening and is not a nightlife destination — noise is daytime commercial activity, not late-night. Buildings set back slightly from the main Market (Market Court, Hillclimb Court) are quieter than street-level Pike or First Avenue. Upper floors in all buildings are significantly quieter than ground floor. RexMont can walk you through noise considerations by floor and unit before any offer.
What are the parking options near Pike Place?
Most buildings in the Pike Place district include secured underground parking or deeded parking agreements. The Market area is a walking neighborhood — many residents don't use a car daily. Confirm parking details per unit, as a small number of units in older buildings were sold without deeded parking.
How is the waterfront transformation affecting property values?
The removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and ongoing waterfront park development is widely expected to increase the attractiveness and value of waterfront-adjacent addresses. Early buyers in this corridor are purchasing ahead of a public amenity buildout that isn't yet fully reflected in prices. RexMont can discuss current market data and the longer-term appreciation case.
Are there good investment properties near Pike Place?
Pike Place's global recognition supports premium short-term rental demand — visitors, corporate travelers, and relocation buyers all want to be near the Market. HOA policies on short-term rentals vary by building. Standard long-term rentals also perform well given the area's walkability and employment proximity. Confirm rental policies before any investment purchase.
How do Pike Place condos compare to Belltown high-rises?
Pike Place boutique condos offer a different tradeoff: iconic location and views at lower floors, at a smaller building scale, often at lower entry prices than comparable tower units with similar views. What you give up is the full-service amenity package — no concierge, no rooftop pool, no fitness center in most buildings. RexMont helps buyers weigh this tradeoff directly.
