Overall Lower Queen Anne is great for access and beautiful views of the Puget Sound and Islands, but is a bit loud and in close proximity to crime. There are many amazing sights including the Space Needle, Mount Rainier, and on the rare clear day even the Olympic Mountains on the Peninsula. Even at night the view is perfect, looking over the downtown Seattle skyline and freight boats in the harbor. However, the streets can be quite noisy at all times of day, and most residential buildings in the area were constructed for the Seattle World's Fair in the 60s, meaning thin walls and lots of noise pollution. Crime can also be a deterrent to prospective residents, with its proximity to downtown Seattle and the unfortunate many people suffering from being unhoused. The transit system nearby is excellent, ensuring you do not have to make the hike up the steepest hill in Seattle to get to Upper Queen Anne and beyond, but many side roads also include stairs and railings.
Compared to 2 years ago, Lower Queen Anne has been on a very sharp decline. You'll encounter at least one violent individual in crisis when walking a few blocks - we had one throw a brick at our parents. Break-ins and robberies are extremely common, we had 4 in the span of 6 months. Other apartment buildings have been seeing similar problems, according to our maintenance staff. It's generally best to be indoors an hour after sunset. I really hope the stadium helps turns things around.
The walkability is incredible. There's many great restaurants in the neighborhood, and Pike Place Market is an amazing 20min water or city walk away. You can generally find amazing views of the water, and watching the iconic PNW ferries is always a pleasure.

I have lived in Lower Queen Anne for 2 years now. Overall it is a nice place to live but like most areas, it has it's faults. The area has quite a few homeless people either camping or roaming around. I have had a few not so nice encounters but they mind their own business for the most part. Despite this problem that is prevalent in many areas of Seattle, Lower Queen Anne has nice restaurants (Pho Than Brothers, Bahn Thai, Mashawi), a variety of coffee shops, and there's MoPop, the Science Center, and of course the Space Needle in Seattle Center. If you have money to spend, you will not get bored in Lower Queen Anne.
