Pike-Market

Seattle's Downtown district, about 0.36 miles from downtown, in King County.

Researched and written by Ryan Rose · Updated October 29, 2026

Pike-Market has 2,804 homes with a median year built of 1994, and I found that 56.7% are condominiums and 30.0% are apartments. The average home runs 1,334 sq ft. My records count 60 transit stops within a quarter mile, plus 51 restaurants and 23 cafes inside the neighborhood. Victor Steinbrueck Park is one of the parks within its 53 acres, and sidewalk coverage is estimated at 83.5%.
