Urban Living is a boutique real estate brokerage helping clients in Seattle and on the Eastside buy and sell amazing homes. Urban Living started in 2006 as a blog about Seattle real estate with an emphasis on lofts, condos, new construction, and midcentury moderns. In 2018 we formed a brokerage so we could help readers buy and sell the amazing homes we featured. From Beacon Hill to Ballard (and beyond), from $200,000 to $5+ million, we'd love to help you.
