Community Spotlight: Axle

Seattle is known globally as a technology hub. Tech giants flock to the city due to its innovative business sector, just as sophisticated renters are drawn to the luxury in-home features of LMC’s community, Axle.
Situated at 3230 16th Avenue West in the Interbay area, Axle’s location allows for easy access to the city’s tech-centric job market and it is situated only one mile from Expedia’s new headquarters. In addition to a dedicated bike path leading from the community to the Expedia campus, Axle is ideally positioned at the intersection of the Burke Gilman, Elliot Bay and Ship Canal recreational trail systems, making regional bike commuting a breeze.
Interbay connects the Queen Anne and Ballard neighborhoods, as well as Magnolia and its 534-acre Discovery Park on shores of Puget Sound. In total, 20 parks are reachable in under 10 minutes and the world-famous Pike Place Market is just a 12-minute drive away. There are 10 Rapid Ride transit stops within 10 blocks of the community, creating simple regional connectivity to Downtown Seattle, South Lake Union and beyond.
Axle’s immediate neighborhood is home to award-winning fresh seafood restaurants, sidewalk cafés, the Ballard Brewery District, unique and locally-sourced shopping opportunities and nightly live music.
Axle consists of one- and two-bedroom floor plans, with den and townhome designs available, ranging from 539 to 1,454 square feet. In addition, residents also benefit from communitywide green measures that reduce energy consumption, water use and the property’s overall carbon footprint. Homes are highlighted by quartz countertops, hardwood-style plank flooring, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances and in-home laundry.
The community includes a fitness center with an outdoor zen garden, well-equipped co-working offices and collaborative spaces, game room and a pet run and grooming center. All homes also receive electrostatic sanitization and deep cleanings before every move-in.
Axle began leasing in the fall of 2018.
