How are ads categorized into neighborhoods?
Ads are categorized by zip code, which is the smallest standard categorization possible for real estate and rentals ads. Zip codes are often associated with more than one neighborhood since neighborhoods in Seattle are not organized specifically within zip code areas. If you do a search for listings in Fremont, for example, you will get all listings in zip code 98103, which also includes Green Lake, Wallingford, Greenwood and Phinney Ridge. By contrast, if you do a search for listings in Queen Anne, which has its own zip code – 98109, you will only get Queen Anne listings. Rest assured you are getting results in the neighborhood(s) you selected; you may also see some listings in surrounding areas as well.
