Many students live on Capital Hill, attending the colleges like Seattle University, Cornish College of the Arts, and Seattle Central Community College. The University of Washington is also visible from the north end of Capitol Hill, and many of the school’s students and faculty live in the area as well. The area also offers extensive nightlife options, bars, and clubs.
Art lovers enjoy the Seattle Asian Art Museum located in Volunteer Park. The park also hosts an orchid garden, as well as walking and biking trails. Outdoor lovers also visit Cal Anderson Park for walking, biking, and other sports. St. Mark’s Cathedral occupies a large plot on Tenth Avenue East. Seattle’s oldest Episcopal Parish was established in 1865 and the current cathedral location was built in 1928.
Homes in Capital Hill range from small to large single-family homes, as well as many high-rise apartments and condos. Locations overlooking Lake Union command both stunning views and higher prices.

Apartment Finder utilizes the industry's largest and most complete database of real-time rents and availabilities to help you find an amazing deal on your next rental.
Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
