Located about seven miles north of Downtown Seattle, Maple Leaf balance a small-town feel with the perks of city living. Named after an old mill and the neighborhood’s abundance of maple trees, Maple Leaf is known for its strong sense of community. “Welcome to Maple Leaf” stickers adorned on poles and “Maple Leaf 4 Life” bumper stickers exhibit this unique area’s neighborhood pride. Along with special events, residents bond at locally-owned businesses on Roosevelt Way and Lake City Way, Maple Leaf’s two main streets. Along these thoroughfare’s you’ll find community coffee shops, vibrant bars, and diverse eateries serving up everything from pizza to pink guava cake. Specialty shops like Math ‘n’ Stuff, a shop that sells books, puzzles, and toys, add extra charm.
Along with a close-knit community, renters are attracted to Maple Leaf’s excellent schools and proximity to major points of interest. Northgate Mal lies in the corner of the neighborhood.
