I had the opportunity to visit a few floating homes with clients this week in the Mallard Cove community on Lake Union. The location at Mallard cove is ideal, with quick freeway access and gate-free access to the homes.
This section of Eastlake has a nice setup for the floating homes, with the Roanoke Reef homes as one outer cluster enjoying the best views and serving as a breaker for the Mallard Cove homes closer to shore. The waters inside the cove are particularly calm, but this is Lake Union, so even the outer homes don't get any particularly large waves.
Floating homes in this neighborhood seem to be a bit more uniform than those in Portage Bay, as most looked to be fairly modern in updating. Most of the homes have a boxy design, using their full potential for interior living space. Portage Bay floating homes, on the other hand, range from creatively-designed modern masterpieces to cobbled-together shacks clinging for their lives to century-old logs.

This neighborhood of floating homes probably has the best range of views in Seattle, from the city skyline to the mid-Lake Union fireworks, to Gasworks Park. It's undoubtedly a unique and relaxing place to live.
