About University Park
University Park is a turn-of-the-century single-family addition to
the University District, ranging from 16th Avenue NE in the west
to 21st Avenue NE in the east, and from NE 50th Street
in the south to Ravenna Park in the north. You can see your
house from here:
Items of interest in University Park include the large assortment of
remarkably well-preserved American Arts and Crafts houses, the lovely
winding Ravenna Boulevard (part of Seattle's extensive system of scenic
boulevards), Ravenna Park and the Ravenna Springs, our neighborhood's
easy walking access to a wide array of shops, activities,
and entertainment venues, and, of course, the challenging but
convenient 52nd Street Hillclimb down to Burke-Gillman Trail.
