High Point

High Point is a revitalized mixed-income community in West Seattle that underwent a major redevelopment in the 2000s, blending affordable and market-rate housing in a thoughtfully planned neighborhood. With a median home price of $675,000 and $431/sqft — modest by Seattle standards — it offers relative affordability while still connecting residents to the broader city. Year-over-year appreciation of +1.5% signals steady, stable demand.

High Point centers on Myrtle Reservoir Park, a beloved green space with trails, a community garden, and views over West Seattle. The neighborhood has a genuine community feel with active neighborhood associations and a diverse, multigenerational population. Nearby Westwood Village provides everyday retail and dining, keeping daily errands manageable without a car.

First-time buyer priced out of trendier West Seattle pockets — Median $675K and 43 DOM give buyers time to be selective; relative affordability vs. Admiral or Morgan Junction is a major draw. Value-oriented family buyer — Larger lots from the redevelopment era, proximity to parks, and community-oriented environment suit growing families seeking space and stability. Long-term investor — Steady appreciation, ongoing neighborhood improvements, and lower price point offer a lower-risk Seattle foothold with upside.
