About Montlake
Montlake sits between the Arboretum and the University of Washington, defined by tree-lined streets, Tudor and Craftsman homes, and the Montlake Cut connecting Lake Union to Lake Washington. The Montlake Bridge and SR-520 freeway pass at the neighborhood's edges, but the residential core remains quiet.
Housing skews to grand early-20th-century homes on well-established lots, with some lakefront and waterway-facing properties. Buyers come for the established character, proximity to UW, and quick SR-520 access to the Eastside.
