Elara at the Market

2134 Western Ave.
Belltown, Seattle, WA 98121

Elara at the Market is a 150-unit, eight-story apartment complex in Belltown with studios, one bedrooms and two bedrooms. We will fill the first 15 vacancies with households at or below 30% of median income or $34,530 for an individual and $39,480 for a two-person household. The next 45 units will be filled with households with incomes between 30 and 50% of median income of $57,550 for an individual and $65,800 for a two-person household. Rents will range from $665 for a studio to $1,482 for a two bedroom.

We plan to freeze rents for existing leases for two years, through June 2028. SSHD will also be ending RUBS charges at the property, saving all residents on utility costs. And we will eliminate some hidden rent fees, such as bike storage and pest control. Finally, we plan to offer free, one-year ORCA passes to all residents. [Please note that the lottery for this building is closed.]

Update September 2026:

SSHD temporarily paused processing applicants at or below 30% of Area Median Income (AMI) but will resume processing these applicants in November. Please note: We have filled the majority of the 15 units set aside at Elara for those at or below 30% AMI and only a handful of spots remain. We want to thank you for your continued interest in social housing.
