Colorful gardens on Puget Sound
In Federal Way, a suburb roughly 24 miles south of Seattle, Adelaide is a flowery neighborhood by the bay, surging with nature between two state parks on the coast with vibrant forests and colorful gardens on Puget Sound. “Adelaide has nice nature parks and greenery,” says Avinesh Pillay, a Real Estate Broker for Skyline Properties, Inc., with over seven years of experience selling homes in the area. “There is a high demand for the waterfront here. There’s a beach area, and many of these properties are pretty unique.”
New Traditional waterfront homes
Evergreen trees offer shade to Adelaide’s residential streets, adding to the lush botanical landscape. Some lawns are barren, while others are more complex, with elaborate mazes of hedges and flowering bushes. This neighborhood features midcentury modern and New Traditional homes influenced by Craftsman and Victorian architecture. Most residential construction occurred in the 1970s, and midcentury modern homes come in various styles, including L-shape, elevated or split-level for the area’s rolling hills and sharp drops. Single-family homes typically cost between $400,000 and $900,000, although New Traditional waterfront homes can reach up to $1.6 million depending on their view of the mountains or proximity to the sound. Midcentury modern homes range from $430,000 to $870,000, while New Traditional homes fall between $800,000 and $1.6 million, depending on size, as most over 4,000 square feet tend to be over $1 million. Single-level townhouses line 307th Street and typically sell for around $350,000 to $400,000.
