Independent living for independent thinkers.
Seattle’s most distinctly Seattle retirement community.
Since 1961, Horizon House has been the choice of independent thinkers, artists, professors, and innovators who want to retire in the heart of the city they love. Located in Seattle’s First Hill neighborhood, our Life Plan Community is defined by its resident-led culture of intellectual curiosity and self-expression.
The West Tower—now under construction.
Construction is underway on our 33-story expansion, which will include 198 bright, modern residences and refined amenities when it opens in 2029. Secure your brand-new residence with stunning views in an established Seattle retirement community where curiosity never retires.
A community built around your lifestyle.
Create, debate, learn and grow in over 60 resident-led programs from environmental policy and secular philosophy to woodworking, the arts, social justice and more. Here, individuality and curiosity drive everything—and your passions shape every day.

The apartment itself, the view, of course the windows. I love the kitchen. The fact is, there are beautiful apartments all over Seattle, with everything that we have here. But what they don’t have is Horizon House. It’s just a wonderful place to live! What’s most important is the community, and that’s what I love.

My favorite part of the Horizon House community is that it is a community! It’s so different from other places. The people really like to do things together, like to chat with each other, and there’s a wonderful spirit. Things happen here that I don’t think happen other places because people get together and make them happen. So, it’s fabulous.

Horizon House is a village—it’s a community. There’s just so much happening. We’re both very impressed with the variety of programs and issues that are discussed. It’s kind of like being on a university campus.

I love the bay windows, you see the view throughout. When you come in the door, you take about three steps and, WOW! The city lights at night are spanning and the colors in the daytime, so I love everything about my apartment. Couldn’t be happier!
