Represented by Tribeca NW’s Brittany Arend, this home is a masterclass in maximizing value in West Seattle.

Why Highland Park a good neighborhood to buy a home in Seattle.

Highland Park is one of West Seattle’s most accessible neighborhoods, offering a high "Value-to-Convenience" ratio. With a median price point significantly lower than North Admiral or Alki, Highland Park provides buyers with modern construction (2007) and close proximity to Westwood Village, while remaining just minutes from the Highway 99 and I-5 corridors.

Freedom from HOAs: Why "No Rental Cap" Matters in 2026

One of the most significant advantages of this townhome is the lack of an HOA and no rental cap. For a primary resident, this means no rising monthly dues and total control over your property. For an investor, it means a turnkey opportunity in a high-demand rental corridor.

Expert Insight from Brittany Arend: "What I love about this property is the flexibility. It’s perfect for someone who wants to stop renting and start building equity, but it’s also EV-charging ready and features a fully fenced yard. In West Seattle, finding a home with a private outdoor space and no monthly HOA fees under $500k is becoming incredibly rare."
