Washington Square Park – 09

(more details later, as time permits)

*************************************

On the first warm Saturday afternoon in March, I decided to walk around Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village – on the assumption that people would be picknicking, sunbathing, and relaxing in the sun.

Unfortunately, I had completely forgotten that the park is in the midst of a major renovation project, and that most of it has been closed off from the public. But there was still one area — on the eastern side of the park — where people could congregate on benches, stroll around the sidewalks, and enjoy themselves.

These are some of the people and activities that I observed while I was there…

Downtown Seattle Condo Living

Downtown Seattle Condo Living

From Belltown to Pioneer Square, from the Waterfront to the International District, downtown Seattle has an ideal neighborhood for everyone. Living in a condo in downtown Seattle is the perfect solution for those looking to live right in the heart of such a booming district. With easy access to every downtown neighborhood, not to mention such incredible outer lying neighborhoods as Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, and the University District, downtown Seattle condos give residents the ability to live right in the middle of Seattle. The types of condos available vary depending on location and price, but the positives of living in the downtown area remain the same no matter what your budget or preferred condo style. With a wide variety of shopping opportunities available, the retail district of downtown Seattle boasts some amazing choices of condos – all within close proximity to the best stores Seattle has to offer! Architectural styles in this area range from structural expressionism to Victorian-style, and everything in between. The Four Seasons Private Residences, for example, offer breathtaking views of the Elliot Bay Seattle waterfront and the Olympic Mountains. Want to experiences the views first hand? No problem! Getting to the waterfront itself requires merely a brisk, five-minute walk. While you’re there, be sure to take a stroll down by the piers, or stop in at the world-renowned Pacific Science Center for a look at their lovable sea otters. Belltown condos are some of the most breathtaking in the city. Located in the heart of downtown, they are all within walking distance of such wonderful Seattle sights as the Pike Place Market, the 5th Avenue Theatre, and the Westlake Center Shopping Centre. The available condos in this area range from inexpensive to luxurious, with prices offered everywhere in between. Many, such as the Alexandria Building, offer exceptional architectural design. In the case of the French-inspired Alexandria, a wonderful display of “Wuthering Heights” vignettes greets visitors before they enter the building. On the more affordable end of the spectrum are the Royal Crest Condos. Built in the 1970s, these condos offer a convenient location for those who want to be close to everything downtown Seattle, but don’t want to break the bank. But don’t be fooled, these condos still have all the amenities. The fourth “Plaza” floor boasts an outdoor swimming pool, saunas, and a furnished party room. Seattle’s very first neighborhood, Pioneer Square is an area that has somehow managed to escape the influx of new residents of downtown Seattle’s other districts. The area boasts an array of condo choices, with styles that vary from Richardsonian Romanesque, (many of them Victorian reinterpretations of the style, built to make up for the destruction of the majority of the wooden buildings in the area due to the Great Seattle Fire), to Second Renaissance-Revival, and Beaux Arts Classical. The majority of the historical buildings in the area are of Romanesque design, giving the whole area a much more “uniform” feel than many of Seattle’s other neighborhoods. Pioneer Square’s tapestry of small bookstores, art galleries, bars and coffee shops make this an area that is somehow both up-and-coming, yet filled with historical relevance. The area boasts such elegant condo choices as the Nord, which was built after the Great Seattle Fire, and originally served as a hotel. Whether you’re looking for a structural expressionism condo in downtown Seattle’s retail district, a luxurious Belltown condo, or a Romanesque condo in Pioneer Square, downtown Seattle condos have something for everyone to enjoy. And with new developments being built every day, the opportunities just keep getting better.

4 Comments »

The next time I visit Downtown Detroit, I would like to check out the music scene. What kind of a music scene does Downtown Detroit have and where are the best places to see good music. I am interested in seeing contemporary new age music, classical music, and jazz music. Also, are the places to see good music safe to travel to at nighttime?
