Capitol Hill is definitely not what is used to be - which could be good or bad depending on the person. There are so many great restaurants and bars in such a small area, plenty of grocery stores, and amazing nature through out. It seems like a real neigborhood versus some other larger city neighborhoods, which you can't beat! There can be some sketchy people that frequent, but nothing you can't ignore or won't see anywhere else.

The neighborhood I was attracted to and moved to was gritty, artistic, and full of expression, with lots of local businesses and a vibrant, supportive community. Now, if I were to describe Capitol Hill, I would call it white, sterile and devoid of character. Inauthentic might be the word. I would characterize Capitol Hill by it's designer running shoes, fancy baby strollers, drunk girls passed out on the sidewalk in their high heels, and bros getting into fights on the street. I would characterize my neighborhood by the increased amount of panhandling, and by people who don't give a care for the baristas behind the counter, the servers who keep them fed, or the artists who make this community come alive.

Love Cap Hill. Easy access to bars, clubs, and shopping.

the area is clearly in flux and growing as employers in downtown Seattle continue to grow, ie Amazon, Expedia, etc.

If you're in CapHill you know you're near it all; food, drinks, theatre, clubs, sports. I guess you could take the short walk to downtown but you don't need to.

Really dig the neighborhood vibe here. Good amenities (coffee shops, ramen houses, library) and green spaces. It's a lively place, with plenty of character.

North cap hill is quieter than Pike/Pine area. Walking distance to parks and great restaurants. Good coffee shops and close to transit.

Capital hill is by far the best neighborhood in Seattle. Has all of the bars and restaurants anyone could want.

The gentrification is REAL, it's lost some of its soul and prices are skyrocketing (along with the rest of the city) but if a true "city living" experience (living in a highly walkable urban core, diversity, arts/nightlife/entertainment) is important to you, it's still arguably the best neighborhood in Seattle... for now.
