Squire Park blends historic Central Area roots with university energy and medical-campus convenience. Set between the Central District and First Hill on the eastern edge of Seattle, the neighborhood offers quick commutes and everyday amenities. The Swedish Cherry Hill campus anchors the west side, while the lawns and brick halls of Seattle University are a short stroll away, and the cafes of Capitol Hill sit just up the hill.
On its blocks, you’ll find early-20th-century Craftsman homes beside thoughtful infill townhomes and classic brick apartment courtyards. Side streets are lined with mature maples, and main corridors bring small, locally owned restaurants—Ethiopian, Vietnamese, and neighborhood diners—along Cherry, Jefferson, and 12th. Families appreciate access to respected public schools like Garfield High School and Washington Middle School, and the area’s signature green space, Pratt Park, offers ball courts, a spraypark, and community events that showcase the neighborhood’s creative spirit.
Getting around is straightforward: the First Hill Streetcar links to downtown and the International District, bike lanes stripe 12th Avenue, and frequent buses connect to job centers and waterfront trails. Residents value Squire Park’s balance of culture and convenience—quiet residential pockets with quick reach to arts, healthcare, and higher education—right in the heart of the city.
