Nestled in Seattle’s historic Laurelhurst neighborhood, visible from the main university approach and overlooking the Burke-Gilman Trail, Aegis Living Laurelhurst invites residents to be part of something truly special. Purpose-built to serve as both a landmark and a haven, this community stands out for its Collegiate Gothic architecture inspired by the stately buildings of the University of Washington and the nearby quaint Tudor homes. From its regal, three-gabled entryway to its boomerang-shaped layout (with a hidden subterranean wing that hugs the hillside), Laurelhurst feels “grand and grounded,” offering visual drama and a sense of organic belonging from the moment you arrive.
Step inside to a black-and-white chessboard entry, a salute to aging with wisdom and grace, while sculpted ceilings, herringbone wood floors, and a restored sidewalk clock evoke the luxurious traditions and artisan touches that define Seattle’s architectural story. Every choice — from precast concrete and ornate brickwork emulating limestone masonry to ornamental gardens and lush lawns — shows a commitment to quality craftsmanship and timeless beauty.
Unlike any other Seattle community, Laurelhurst’s garden-lined patios, landscaped walking paths, and outdoor chess tables offer daily sanctuary, an inviting retreat whether you soak up sunshine, catch a gentle breeze, or enjoy a classic rainy day. Residents can walk or bike the Burke-Gilman Trail, relax among mature trees, or stroll to University Village for shopping, coffee, and conversation with neighbors and friends.
Life here hums with youthful energy and opportunity. Inspired by its university neighbors, Laurelhurst offers over 200 monthly activities: faculty-led lectures, UW sporting events and on-campus excursions, music therapy, TED-style talks, alumni club mixers, and art workshops. Residents shape the calendar, joining walking groups, book clubs, and creative classes, all within a larger, active, and friendly setting where connection is a way of life.
Dining at Laurelhurst is a celebration of nutrition, artistry, and Pacific Northwest bounty. Chefs work with residents to create menus that balance culinary tradition and new tastes, accommodating all dietary needs in style. Host a tailgate in the alumni club, enjoy terrace views, or savor quiet meals in artful, sunlit spaces.
