Park Vista, Residential fixed construction in Seattle, United States.

Park Vista is a Collegiate Gothic apartment building at 5810 Cowen Pl. N.E., completed in September 1928 by builder A. S. Hainsworth for $350,000. It stands on a triangular lot, with its entrance and garden along the hypotenuse facing Cowen Park. The building was designed by architect John A. Creutzer, who also designed Seattle's Medical Dental Building.

Architect John A. Creutzer designed the Park Vista in Collegiate Gothic style; builder A. S. Hainsworth finished it in September 1928 at a cost of $350,000. Its formal opening on Sunday, September 16, 1928, drew crowds, and the University District Herald ranked it with the city's newest and finest apartments. In 1949 a group of residents including attorney Ella Hanson converted the rental building into an owner-occupied cooperative, which it remains.

The building's name comes from its position facing Cowen Park. In 1949 a group of residents, among them attorney Ella Hanson, converted the rental apartments into an owner-occupied cooperative, a form of group ownership similar to a condominium. It has operated as a cooperative since, and as of 2019 still did.

The Park Vista is a private cooperative residence at 5810 Cowen Pl. N.E., so the interior and garden are not open to visitors. The entrance and garden run along the hypotenuse of the triangular lot, facing Cowen Park; the building can be seen from the park paths and the surrounding streets. The nearest commercial streets lie in the University District to the south and in Roosevelt to the northwest.

The building included advanced household technology unusual for its time, such as built-in radio loudspeakers, house phones with dictation capability, and fully automatic electric ranges. These features show how the complex offered residents early access to modern home conveniences.
