Tucked along the southwest edge of West Seattle, Fauntleroy is a neighborhood that blends natural beauty, community charm, and the ease of city living. It’s one of those rare places where you can enjoy the quiet rhythm of waterfront life while still being minutes from everything Seattle has to offer.


Nature at Your Doorstep

At the heart of Fauntleroy is Lincoln Park, one of Seattle’s crown jewels. With over 135 acres of forested trails, beachfront, and recreational amenities—including tennis courts and a saltwater swimming pool—residents enjoy year-round opportunities to hike, bike, or simply relax by the water. For waterfront homeowners, the beauty extends right outside the door, where sunsets over the Olympic Mountains create nightly works of art.


A Strong Sense of Community

Fauntleroy has long been known for its close-knit feel. Local cafés, bakeries, and small businesses create a walkable, welcoming atmosphere. Seasonal events, from community gatherings to neighborhood initiatives, bring residents together in ways that feel genuine and lasting.


Convenient Connectivity

Though Fauntleroy feels tucked away, it’s well connected. The Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal provides direct access to Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula, while downtown Seattle is just a short drive away. West Seattle’s lively Junction is nearby, offering restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment.


The Lifestyle

Living in Fauntleroy means embracing both serenity and vibrancy. One day you might be kayaking in Puget Sound, the next exploring city culture just minutes away. For many, it’s the best of both worlds—a lifestyle that feels like a retreat, yet keeps you connected to the city’s energy.
