The Ravenna area is mostly family living and older folks retiring. It is close to the hustle of the city but far enough to feel suburb. It is quiet at night and most places are closed by 8 but there is Ravenna Brewing for some night life. The nearby U-Village is great for shopping, activities, and food. There is plenty of outdoor places to be including Ravenna Ravine and Magnuson Park, great for walking around and getting some nature.

Ravenna is, in many ways, a beautiful area, with tree- lined streets and high walkability. You can walk to many parks, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc... It isn' t particularly diverse and some areas and neighborhoods are friendlier than others.

Ravenna is a short drive from downtown and Capitol Hill but feels much more secluded and like a real neighborhood. Folks say hi to each other and kids play outside, people keep beautiful gardens and the homes are gorgeous. It is much quieter and more family oriented. There is a lack of diversity, both in terms of ethnicity and economically. We rent, but most people around us own their homes.
