Sunnydale is a community where residents can commune with nature yet still be close to transportation, shops and restaurants. "Most people move here for its proximity to the airport," says Vladimir Grigoriev, a Realtor with eXp Realty, who recently sold a home to a friend in the neighborhood. "Commuters love it because it's only 15 minutes to downtown Seattle."
Many of the residences in the neighborhood were built between 1970 and 1999; however, new construction continues. Sunnydale comprises mostly budget-friendly condominiums with a sprinkling of single-family bungalows and ranch-style homes. The streets are a bit narrow, and not all have sidewalks; however, the community is nestled amongst stately Douglas Fir trees. Outdoor spaces are functional, providing ample areas for outdoor activities and entertaining. Prices here range from $270,00 to $895,000.
Students in Sunnydale receive their education in the Highline School District. Gregory Heights Elementary School has an overall Niche grade of C-plus, and Sylvester Middle School has a C. Highline High School, with a C-plus, offers the Spanish dual language program.
Moshier Memorial Park, less than a mile drive on local streets, sits on 15.2 acres. It offers developed athletic fields, an arts center and parking. Amenities include expansive open fields for soccer, baseball, softball and other field sports. Mathison Park is a 5.3-acre neighborhood park with paved trails and playgrounds. Due to its higher elevation, the location provides views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier, and SeaTac Airport.
For indoor activities, especially during the cold winter months, residents can go to the Burien Library, less than a mile away. Relax and read the latest bestseller or drop off the kids for homework research. In addition to its extensive book collection, the library offers online reading groups as well as self-improvement programs and classes.
Sunnydale residents have access to a unique grocery shopping experience: PCC Community Markets, the nation's largest community-owned food market. The Seattle-based company partners with Northwest producers, farmers and ranchers to bring organic, fresh, local, seasonal and sustainable foods to the family table. Safeway and Trader Joe's are also nearby. Those looking for one-stop retail shopping can head to the Westfield Southcenter in Seattle, a four-mile drive. The mall offers plenty of chain stores and restaurants from which to choose. "It's a foodie town," Grigoriev says of the area. "And I should know because I'm a foodie." A few of Grigoriev's favorites include Pho Vina Restaurant, authentic Vietnamese Cuisine, and Australian Pies Company, which produces gourmet meat Pie and other Aussie pastries. The shop also carries items such as vegemite, Tim Tams, mint slices and other Aussie favorites. For those looking to get together with friends after work or on the weekend, there's a Smarty Pants Garage. With its motorcycle-themed décor, the establishment sells scratch-made comfort foods and craft beers. Every Wednesday night, Smarty Pants holds Bike Night, featuring motorcycle races and shows on their big screen.
Sunnydale is commuter-friendly, offering easy access to freeways and public transportation. Light rail, commuter rail and bus stops are less than a mile away. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is 3 4-mile drive via back roads.
