Parking That Fits Your Routine

Urbana’s garage parking with EV charging gives residents an easy, weather-protected place to keep a car, along with the convenience of charging at home. For anyone who commutes outside Ballard or takes regular trips around the city, having reliable parking—and not having to hunt for public chargers—keeps things simple.

Ballard itself is walkable for most daily needs, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, and parks close by. But having a car adds flexibility when you want to explore more of Seattle.

Neighbourhoods like Fremont, Phinney Ridge, Green Lake, and Queen Anne are all close enough that quick trips feel straightforward outside peak traffic. Even larger errands or outings to Golden Gardens or downtown stay manageable thanks to direct routes like 15th Ave NW and Leary Way.

For future residents who like a mix of walking, biking, transit, and driving, Urbana’s location paired with secure garage parking creates an easy balance.
