Puget Sound and Olympic views distinguish Gregory Heights
A coveted, hidden gem, Burien’s Gregory Heights neighborhood boasts magnificent views of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound, with proximity to parks, school and big city life. “Gregory Heights gets a little overlooked sometimes because Three Tree Point is so well known here, but you have a myriad of cool things to see,” says Angie Hall, Realtor at Windermere Real Estate and Belle Residence team member. “If you’re facing west, you get the mountain and sound views, and if you’re facing east, you can see the airport and all the planes flying without any of the noise.”
Gregory Heights has easy access to beaches and views of the surrounding mountains.
Gregory Heights is a beautiful, charming neighborhood in Burien.

Privacy and classic homes near Three Tree Point
The neighborhood offers a mix of single-family, ranch-style homes and sophisticated Craftsman-style houses. Most homes were built in the 1960s and range from $630,000 to $950,000, another perk, according to Hall. “With Gregory Heights, you’re also getting a better price range,” she says. “There’s a wider variety of affordability compared to surrounding neighborhoods, but you can still get to all those same cool spots. It’s a nice little blend of homes and is a great spot for first-time homebuyers.” Larger homes can go for up to $2 million and come with pools, meticulously landscaped lawns and multiple decks. Many homes also have hot tubs, garden beds and multi-car garages. “There are really nice, spacious yards,” Hall says. “You have a lot of room to stretch out and play. You’re not on top of anyone else.” Surrounded by spruce and red dawn cedar trees, residents enjoy plenty of privacy and peace and quiet. While residents enjoy their solitude and the neighborhood’s natural beauty, Gregory Heights is just minutes from shopping, schools, Three Tree Point Beach and the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Olde Burien shopping and the Gregory Seahurst Swim Club
Residents are within walking distance of Olde Burien, a historic shopping district with beloved mom and pops, quaint shops and attractions. Get your birria taco fix at Birrieria Tijuana or step back in time at the 1970s-inspired Midwestern bar, Fireside Burien, for old-school American fare and cocktails. Pick up a fresh baguette or French pastry from Bakery Nouveau, and on the weekend, don’t miss the iconic Burien Farmer’s Market here, which is open all year. “People can also get to Five Corners Shopping Center, which has Trader Joe’s and PCC Community Markets,” Hall says. “All the shopping centers are right here, and you’re literally 10 minutes to almost anywhere.” Residents can enjoy regular block parties, local artisan markets and more at this community-oriented town center, but the biggest community-led organization is the Gregory Seahurst Swim Club within the neighborhood. This private, community-owned swim and tennis facility offers a six-lane swimming pool, diving board, a small wading pool, two tennis courts and classes. "It’s very popular,” says Hall. “There might be a waitlist.”
