About University Crest

Welcome to University Crest Apartments, a small, quiet community of just six one-bedroom homes in the heart of Seattle's University District. Every home is a corner unit with its own private entrance, giving you the feel of a place of your own with… the convenience of city living right outside your door.

Homes range from cozy to spacious, with select units offering a bonus room, a fireplace, or a top-floor location. The building's classic early-1900s character and small size create a calm, residential atmosphere that's easy to come home to.

Step outside and you're one block from University Way (the Ave), just a few blocks from the UW campus, and a short walk to the U District light rail station. Local cafes, shops, the Saturday U District Farmers Market, Cowen and Ravenna Parks, University Village, and the Burke-Gilman Trail are all close by.

Utilities are simple and predictable with a flat monthly charge for water, sewer, and garbage, and electricity set up directly with Seattle City Light. Reserved parking is available for an additional monthly fee.

Tours are by appointment only. Contact us today to schedule a showing.
