Ballard one of America's Best Eco-Neighborhoods

From the Natural Home and Garden Magazine
Top 10 Eco-Neighborhoods

"Our picks for the country’s top urban neighborhoods encourage the healthy, eco-conscious good life. These burgs boast community involvement; shopping, libraries and schools within a walkable area; public transportation; and locally owned businesses."

Ballard comes in at Number 10






10. Seattle, Washington

BALLARD NEIGHBORHOOD
Located in northwest Seattle close to downtown, the Ballard neighborhood has a rich maritime history, Scandinavian roots, varied architecture and an energetic business district with nightlife, coffee shops, boutiques, wine bars and a lively music scene.

Curb appeal:

  • Lots of trees, nearby parks, access to kayaking and sailing
  • Roof with 18,000 low-water-use plants atop the Ballard Branch of the Seattle Public Library.
  • Successful curbside recycling program
  • High-density neighborhood: empty lots transformed into condos; run-down industrial sites razed and turned into homes
  • Green, LEED-certified condos in Hjärta (“heart” in Swedish) building
