Homes are expected to be priced from $199,000 to the low-$300,000s. The website has been updated with a price list and homes are listed from $229,000 to $329,000.
One note about their website. On the Neighborhood page, it states the Betsy Ross is a short stroll to a number of restaurants, bars and Interlaken Park, but most of the establishments listed on their site are further north near Volunteer Park…about 1.5 miles north of the Betsy Ross. Not quite a short stroll.

I went out to the Betsy Ross this weekend for it’s first public open house, I must say I was completely and thoroughly impressed! The conversion was done tastefully. I love how the developer is very much into sustaining the old in the building yet adding new flair! Well done, and good job on keeping the old buildings in Seattle!
