Licton Springs Seattle REAL ESTATE & HOMES FOR SALE

ABOUT THE AREA

Licton Springs is a historically rich North Seattle neighborhood named after the reddish mineral springs that Coast Salish peoples used as a spiritual gathering site for thousands of years. Today, the neighborhood is a dynamic wedge between I-5 and Aurora Avenue, bordered by Greenwood to the west, Maple Leaf to the east, Green Lake to the south, and Haller Lake to the north. The housing mix reflects the area's urban character — Craftsman homes, modern townhomes, condos, and newer infill construction coexist with mid-century single-family residences. With North Seattle College at the neighborhood's edge and the Northgate light rail station just a short walk or ride away, Licton Springs has strong connectivity to the broader city.

Licton Springs Park — recently designated as a sacred site — anchors the neighborhood's green space with a unique natural spring, walking trails, and a true sense of place. The real estate market here is highly competitive, with homes regularly receiving multiple offers and median sale prices around $625K–$750K — making it one of the more accessible entry points among North Seattle's residential neighborhoods. Its walkability, proximity to major transit and amenities, and the revitalization energy coming through the Northgate corridor all point to continued long-term appreciation for buyers looking to establish roots in a neighborhood with genuine depth and character.
