Crown Hill
North of Ballard and west of Greenwood, Crown Hill pairs quiet residential blocks with quick reach to everything its louder neighbors offer. We’ve built here twice, and we’re looking for the next site.
Ballard’s Quiet Side, Same Zip-Line to the City
Crown Hill is what happens when a neighborhood grows up next to a famous one: the streets stay calm, the access stays excellent, and the value holds its own logic.
The Blocks
Residential streets that read as genuinely residential, established trees, modest scale, and infill sites that reward a careful design hand.
The Access
The 15th Ave NW and Holman Road corridors put RapidRide, downtown Ballard, and the rest of the city minutes away without living on top of them.
The Demand
Buyers who want the Ballard life, the market, the water, the restaurants, with a little more calm and a little more home for the money keep finding Crown Hill.
The Everyday, Within Reach
Carkeek Park’s trails and beach to the north, Golden Gardens down the hill, the Ballard Farmers Market on Sundays, and a growing set of coffee shops and bakeries along NW 85th that make the neighborhood feel like its own place, not a pass-through.
Crown Hill’s center of gravity is shifting as new shops and gathering spots open along the 15th and 85th corridors, early enough to feel like discovery, established enough to rely on.
Built Here, Twice
We’ve delivered two completed communities in Crown Hill, at 10043 8th Ave NW and 9017 13th Ave NW, each designed for its specific block, built to The Olsen Anderson Standard.
We’re actively looking for our next Crown Hill site. If you own property here, we’d like to hear from you, a free feasibility review is the easiest first step.
Crown Hill, Answered

For buyers who want the Ballard lifestyle at a calmer register, it’s one of Northwest Seattle’s strongest answers.
