Alderbrook - for all lifestyles
Beneath the northern Pacific overgrowth, Alderbrook has an eclectic layout with neighborhood trails that wander over woodland ponds in Federal Way, a suburban town south of Seattle. “I used to live around this area,” says Avinesh Pillay, a real estate broker with Skyline Properties, Inc., with over seven years of experience. “The prices are low, and it’s an affordable, family-oriented place. This is why people in Seattle are moving toward the south.”
Enjoy quiet and easy living with access to nearby city life in Alderton.
Alderbrook is surrounded by forested land.
