Why Live in Lakota
Lakota is a peaceful residential neighborhood that sits between Federal Way in the east and Puget Sound to the west. “It’s a good midway point to the water,” says Realtor Diane Joslin with Keller Williams Greater Seattle, who has about 30 years of experience. “Homes are moderately priced, considering other neighborhoods north towards Seattle.” Multiple parks and public schools are within walking distance, creating a convenient suburban lifestyle. Lakota’s residential landscape consists of a variety of housing types found along loops and cul-de-sacs. “The architecture is mostly determined by when the houses were developed,” Joslin says. Ranch-style homes built in the 1960s are common, alongside New Traditional multi-story homes from the 1990s. These single-family houses span 1,100 to 2,400 square feet and cost $550,000 to $725,000. Most properties come with grassy front yards and driveways in a heavily forrested area.
Multi-family properties found in the neighborhood include contemporary condos and multi-story townhouses built in the 1970s. These housing options range from 1,000 to 1,400 square feet and go for $250,000 to $350,000. Children living in Lakota can attend public
