If you are looking for a downtown apartment in Seattle, you aren't alone. New residents flock to the city every year, and because the downtown district is so compact, apartments are growing up rather than out. High-rises are extremely common in this area, boasting fantastic views of the hills to the north and the waterfront to the west.

You'll find much of the financial commerce in Seattle downtown, from huge banks to investment firms, all hugged by Elliot Bay. This is also a main shopping hub for Seattle, offering every type of store imaginable as well as indoor and outdoor malls. If you enjoy shopping, make sure to visit the Metropolitan Tract, which is home to several acres of retail outlets as well as hotels and office space.

Pike Place Market is one of the most famous areas of Seattle, and is one of the first places to visit when renting a downtown apartment. Here you will find everything from comic books to fresh produce, and you can even buy fresh seafood for dinner.

It is possible to walk many places regardless of which downtown apartment you choose, but there is also a very dependable public transportation system with several bus stops sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Parking is not as difficult in Portland as in other major metropolitan areas, but rush hour can still hold you up when commuting to or from work.

If you are interested in the arts, make sure to visit the Seattle Central Library and Seattle Art museum. You can also consider the types of places you enjoy patronizing when choosing a downtown apartment, as there are options in every corner of the community. However, it is important to remember that prices increase as you get closer to the waterfront.
