About what is a good neighboorhood (close to Downtown) to live in Seattle for a young couple

What is a good neighboorhood (close to Downtown) to live in Seattle for a young couple?
Hi, I will mostly likely be working in Seattle next year for a company just South of I-90 (North Beacon Hill). I am looking for a place to rent that is: - safe - clean - at most a 20 min commute to the area by the Pac Med - relatively cheap ($1000-1200 ideal, but 1600 ok if its foxy) - either newly built or remodeled I am not looking neccesarily for a particular complex. I want to know what the best neighboorhoods are that sound like a young, adventurous couple would like it there (and roughly match the criteria above).

Answer 1 :
Hi Brock...consider either the Capital Hill, Queen Anne or Belltown neighbourhoods all have new and old structures blended in together. Additionally, many young people are concentrated in these three communities mostly and they are close to downtown and not too far of a commute to Pac Med as well. Crime varies all over Seattle, however in these two communities it isn't as prevalent in other communities such as south Seattle. Consider browsing through the local Craigslist housing http://seattle.craigslist.org/hhh/ to help get a feel for rent.
Answer 2 :
Seward Park or Leschi.
