Queen Anne #2 in city for Trick-or-Treating

October 26th, 2009 · Comments

Zillow, an online real estate information service, has ranked Queen Anne second in the top five best Seattle neighborhoods for candy gathering on Halloween night in their first ever Zillow Trick-or-Treat Housing Index.

“The Index names the top five Seattle neighborhoods to trick-or-treat using four equally weighted data variables: Zillow Home Value Index, population density, Walk Score, and local crime data,” Zillow PR rep Whitney Tyner wrote.

Although we were beat out by Wallingford for its high density population and easily walkable streets, we came in ahead of Magnolia, the University District and Capitol Hill. According to Zillow, we are an “affluent, family-friendly” community, “with gorgeous homes and small-town charm, plus a bustling main street business district.” They also noted our high home values.

“The genesis of this research is the theory that homes in higher end neighborhoods give out bigger or better candy (think King size snickers instead of minis). However, on Halloween night trick-or-treaters need to safely cover the most ground, in the fastest time, to collect the most Halloween loot,” Tyner wrote. “This Index reflects neighborhoods that will yield the most candy, with the least walking and safety risks for trick-or-treaters this Halloween.”

Not too shabby Queen Anne! And remember, there will be tons of cool holiday events going on this weekend for Halloween. Check out the schedule here.
