About University District
The University District (U-District) is built around the University of Washington's main campus, the largest university in the Pacific Northwest.

Housing is largely older Craftsman and Tudor single-family on the residential streets, with significant new mid- and high-rise residential growth near the U-District Link station. Buyers include investors, university families, and downsizers seeking walk-to-everything urban living.
