Do You Know West Seattle Neighborhoods? Part 2

As discussed in a previous post West Seattle like all of the different areas of Seattle is made up of different neighborhoods. 

The West Seattle peninsula is a very diverse area of Seattle.  The Delridge Valley is the corridor of growth because of the availably of property zoned for multi-use purposes.  To the east of the Delridge Valley is Highland Park with its nice and varied residential neighborhoods.  Riverview along with parts of Highland Park have a more rural feel which means less urban villages to within walking distance but afford privacy and space. Highpoint is an award winning green development with a diverse population, pea patches and a strong community organization. Roxhill has shopping centers and various activities as well as nice affordable homes. 

North Delridge includes Youngstown, near the steel mill, is conveniently located with easy access to the West Seattle Bridge and the freeways. Youngstown was one of several small communities, along with Alki, Freeport, and Admiral, that made up West Seattle a hundred years ago.
These wonderful neighborhoods along with the west half of WS, which was featured in a previous post, make up a wonderful mosaic of people and homes. That is why thousands of West Seattleites, including newcomers, 2nd and 3rd generations, proudly love to call West Seattle home.
