About This Building
22 West Lee is a boutique Queen Anne condominium situated in prime lower Queen Anne, steps from Seattle Center and the Space Needle. The building's defining characteristic is its intimate scale — only 30 units across 5 stories — creating a tight-knit residential community rather than an institutional building environment. This scale fosters genuine neighbor relationships and personalized community management.
The location is uncompromising: walk to Seattle Center, the Space Needle, McCaw Hall, and Key Arena. Meanwhile, South Lake Union's dining, retail, and tech corridor development is within walking distance. For buyers seeking boutique building character combined with major venue proximity, 22 West Lee occupies a sweet spot — small enough to feel like a community, large enough to support quality building management and amenities.
22 West Lee offers primarily studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Many units feature views toward downtown Seattle or the Space Needle — a significant amenity in lower Queen Anne. The building's manageable 30-unit scale means higher per-unit HOA fees are necessary to maintain quality, but residents enjoy personalized service and community engagement.

Due Diligence
Key factors every buyer should evaluate before making an offer. Jeff Reynolds covers these in every Queen Anne building consultation.
A 30-unit building requires careful financial management to support quality amenities and maintenance. With fewer units sharing building costs, HOA fees are typically higher per-unit than larger mid-rise buildings. Verify that HOA fees are adequate to support long-term capital needs and don't represent underestimated maintenance liability.
Boutique buildings create tight resident communities where individual personalities significantly impact daily life. Visit the building at different times, meet residents, and assess whether the community culture aligns with your preferences. In a 30-unit building, resident relationships matter more.
Boutique buildings often maximize unit count in smaller footprints, meaning smaller floor plates and reduced storage compared to buildings prioritizing larger unit sizes. Verify square footage, ceiling heights, and storage adequacy before purchase. What feels spacious in a model unit may feel tight in daily living.
As a small building steps from Seattle Center, 22 West Lee captures event traffic, parking pressure, and ambient noise that larger, more distant buildings avoid. Assess noise levels during peak season and evaluate event impact on your lifestyle before committing.
Who Buys Here
Buyers who prioritize genuine resident community over institutional scale find 22 West Lee's 30-unit intimacy ideal. This buyer values knowing neighbors, participating in building decisions, and enjoying personalized service. Boutique building community is the primary draw.
Many 22 West Lee units feature downtown or Space Needle views — a significant amenity. Buyers who prioritize views and the psychological benefit of iconic Seattle landmarks choose units with view access. Views command premiums in lower Queen Anne locations.
Smaller unit sizes in boutique buildings appeal to buyers who value downtown proximity and walkability over spacious floor plates. This buyer prioritizes location and community over size, often representing young professionals or downsizers transitioning to urban living.
Market Analysis
Queen Anne's real estate market reflects strong fundamentals: Seattle Center permanence, waterfront recreation, South Lake Union proximity, and sustained demand from urban professionals. Boutique condominiums like 22 West Lee command premiums reflecting their intimate scale, community character, and prime location.
22 West Lee benefits from 1998 construction, Seattle Center proximity, and downtown/Space Needle views. The building's small 30-unit scale creates supply constraints — units rarely turn over, giving existing residents long tenure. Pricing reflects per-unit market rates adjusted for unit size, view amenity, and boutique building premium.
