Residences in Leschi include condominiums (especially along the lake), refurbished bungalows and craftsman, contemporary styles, bricks, Tudors and mid-century ramblers. Curvy streets wind away from the lakefront, which means many residences get at least a partial lake view. There are many parks from the popular Leschi lakeside park to pocket parks spread throughout the neighborhood.

Leschi town center is about two blocks long and vacation-esque. Set off the marina, there's a local grocery store, restaurants, small businesses, condos, a deli and a Starbucks.  On the weekends, Leschi is a resting stop and watering hole for peletons of recreational and competitive cyclists.

Median prices: Homes $759,000; Condos $319,638.
