Situated along the shores of Puget Sound, Redondo-Des Moines is a place for beach lovers and boaters alike. Renowned for its sandy beaches, coastline, and laid-back atmosphere at the local marina, residents of Redondo-Des Moines relish the blend of urban conveniences and small-town charm. “Here, it's tranquil, it's private, more secure. It’s a little jewel,” says Thomas Cameron, Real Estate Broker with John S. Realty.
This coastal neighborhood is mostly filled with a blend of well-maintained single-family homes and condos. “There’s a wide range of homes, it's very eclectic, which I think makes it very charming,” says Cameron. “Many houses face the water; there are some old cabins and some more modernized ones facing the west.” Most homes were built in the late 1970s, with detached home prices ranging from $500,000 to $850,000. For those seeking more opulent options, beachfront properties range from $1 million to $3 million. These luxurious homes offer amenities such as spacious rooftop decks, direct access to Redondo Beach, skylights and breathtaking views of the sound. Many residences feature covered front porches and garages. Additionally, the neighborhood is characterized by fenced-in yards with charming small gardens and covered back decks. Encompassed with towering trees, residents enjoy privacy without obscured views.
Local students begin their education at Woodmont Elementary School for K-8 and Sacajawea Middle School, which offers 6-8 curriculum. Students then ascend to Federal Way Senior High School. Woodmont and Sacajawea Middle receive B-minus and C grades, respectively, from Niche, with the latter being recognized as one of the most diverse schools in the state. Federal Way holds the No. 15 spot on Niche's list of standout high schools in Washington and received an overall grade of B. The high school offers various clubs, including a Native American Club and a Powerful Women’s Club, and features top-performing boys’ and girls’ basketball and track teams. For post-secondary education, students have the option to attend Highline College, which is located just 3 miles away. Established in 1961, this public institution offers over 100 degree and certificate programs, including five applied bachelor’s degrees.
Wooton Park, just a short walk away from the neighborhood, features a gazebo overlooking the waterfront along with barbecue grills. It also boasts scenic trails, a rose garden and horseshoe pits. “People have weddings and other events there, and it’s a fun place to take the kids,” says Cameron. And just 4 miles away lies local favorite Saltwater State Park. A forested 137-acre space on Puget Sound, it's popular with scuba divers exploring the submerged artificial reef, hikers and overnight campers.
Redondo Park offers its residents a pet-friendly beach accompanied by swimming, surfing and volleyball. The boardwalk is also a popular pastime. “You can walk the length of the beach,” says Cameron. “Couples, children and dog walkers take early morning strolls.” The Redondo Pier is an ideal spot to grab a bite, shop or visit MaST Center Aquarium, Highline College’s marine biology center. The aquarium is home to over 250 native Puget Sound species, a 38-foot Gray Whale skeleton and Hank, the Pacific Red Octopus. The pier is also a hot spot for fishing and boaters. “There’s a big place to launch your boat,” says Cameron. “Not many places in Des Moines are left where you can launch your boat.”
For waterfront dining, residents will have to venture north near Zenith and Central Des Moines. Although not on the water, there are a few restaurants in the community, including Verrazano’s, a family-owned restaurant that has been serving authentic Italian cuisine for over 20 years. Residents can start their day by grabbing a quick warm or iced coffee and snack from Dutch Bros Coffee’s convenient drive thru.
More restaurants and eateries are located in Woodmont Beach or along State Route 99/Pacific Highway in Federal Way. The nearest shopping is just 2 miles away at Redondo Square, but residents can hop on State Route 99 to easily get to downtown Des Moines.
A luxurious and relaxed lifestyle filled with outdoor fun and stunning views awaits in Redondo-Des Moines.
