International District Condos

About the International District

The Chinatown-International District is one of Seattle’s most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods, just south of Downtown and Pioneer Square. It is also the region’s transit anchor, with light rail, the streetcar, King Street Station, and Sounder commuter rail all within walking distance. The condo inventory here ranges from a modern high-rise to early-2000s mid-rises woven into the historic fabric of the district.

What Makes the International District Different

Koda (204 units, 2021) is the neighborhood’s modern condominium tower and its most prominent recent addition. Around it sit early-2000s mid-rises that serve the district: Tobira (88 units, 2001), Asia Condos (75 units, 2002), and Fujisada (28 units, 1999). The contrast between a new high-rise and these established buildings is sharp, and it shows up in HOA structure, amenities, and rental policy.

This is the most transit-connected condo location in Seattle, which makes it a genuine option for buyers who want to live without a car. It is also a neighborhood where building selection matters, since the inventory spans very different vintages and types.

Who Should Consider the International District

The International District works for buyers who prioritize transit access, walkability, and cultural energy, and who want an entry point near Downtown without Downtown pricing on every building. It draws commuters who value the rail connections, first-time buyers, and investors tracking the area’s transit-driven demand.

Key Buildings

The signature building is Koda, with Tobira, Asia Condos, and Fujisada offering established alternatives. Because the inventory mixes a new tower with older mid-rises, comparing how each building is run and what its rules allow is essential before buying in the district.
