Most Lake Union houseboats and floating homes are in the Eastlake and Portage Bay waterfront neighborhoods, but there is a large enclave on Northlake Way in Wallingford that is less well-known. This area of the lake has quick freeway access, open public parking for cars and boats, and great parks like Gasworks just steps away.
There are a handful of houseboats on the market right now in Wallingford's stretch of Lake Union. There have been just two sold so far this year, although summer is always the peak of houseboat buying season. The two sold so far are a two story house barge at $235,000, and a 48' vessel with two stories and a top deck. The vessel sold for $255,000.
Houseboats in Wallingford start at around $150,000 and quickly break above the $500,000 mark. There are such a variety of styles of live-aboards, from tiny towable barges to long, sea-faring vessels that you need to take a walk down the docks to understand the different lifestyles afforded by each type of home.
