If people think downtown is less expensive they are in for a shock. Beacon Hill is still somewhat affordable but not for long. Pinehurst, Burien and Tukwila are prime markets. Anything north of SODO or South of Northgate, would no longer be considered affordable, there are some cool little pocket neighborhoods however just itchin' to be gentrified. In some close in areas.
