In-City Living: Ballard Spotlight
Open the door to modern living at The Oslo in Ballard, one of Seattle’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Whether enjoying the perks of your perch or exploring the eclectic offerings of the city, The Oslo primes residents to truly enjoy The Emerald City.
Begin the day with a cup of coffee in hand as you take in tranquil cityscape views from your private deck or head down to Ballard Coffee Works where the barista will craft that perfect cup of joe. It’s time to get your work day started but you don’t have to leave the comfort of your home, as a flex space protected by French doors provides the space and natural light you’ll need to catch up on emails and ignite your creative spark.
On Friday night, invite friends over for a dinner party, as catching up over a glass of wine spreads out across the open plan, and embarking on a culinary adventure begins atop stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. If the evening calls for more than a home cooked meal, a short walk brings you to Bastille Café & Bar, where small plates and local seasonal dishes meet handcrafted cocktails within a casual atmosphere.
A spring weekend in Seattle is best spent with a bike ride along the Burke-Gilman trail, framing views that outline the lake along the cut, followed by fresh oysters and local seafood at The Walrus & The Carpenter. Grab fresh groceries around the corner at QFC, peruse boutique shops and art galleries, and explore Ballard’s heritage in the Historic District – all within a location boasting a Walk Score of 95. After a day of work or recreation, each day ends while you watch the sun melt below the skyline, glass of wine in hand, and prepare for what tomorrow’s Ballard lifestyle will bring.
