West Hill is close to Lake Washington, Seattle and Renton
Welcome to West Hill, an unincorporated area tucked between Seattle and Renton. Proximity to Interstate 5 is an advantage for commuters to those cities. Just minutes from Lake Washington, West Hill has a diverse community with locally owned restaurants, good schools and convenience to Seattle and Renton's amenities. "This area is the perfect mix of Seattle and Renton, known for having gorgeous views of Lake Washington and being close to a ton of international dining and great retail at The Landing Shopping Center," says Realtor Lorraine Parker with eXp Realty.
Cottages, ramblers and newer contemporary homes
West Hill is quickly becoming a favorite for buying starter homes, offering relative affordability compared to Seattle. Homes in the area range from $425,000 for a cottage up to $900,000 for a newer contemporary home. As prices in Seattle continue to rise, home buyers are looking to communities in the area to comfortably be able to purchase a home. Cottages and ramblers are a notable feature in the neighborhood, and many come with renovated interiors or new additions.

With more outdoor space, you have the opportunity to expand your home or turn your backyard into a personal oasis. In addition, you'll find some newer contemporary homes in West Hill that are close to Lake Washington.

Beach days on the lake, play time in parks and hikes through the woods
With its proximity to Lake Washington, the community is just minutes from relaxing beach days on the lake. On a summer day, head over to Gene Coulon Beach Park to sunbathe, cool off in the designated swimming area, or launch a kayak onto the water. When you want to get into nature, you're close to the scenic mountain trails of Mount Rainier, but you can easily go for a hike close to home at Lakeridge Park. This beautiful urban green space has acres of evergreen woodland, unpaved trails and plank bridges that cross over bubbling Taylor Creek. The park also has an open area with playfields, a playground and pickleball courts that are popular with residents.
Dining, retail and entertainment close to home
While the area could be more walkable, you're an easy drive to dining, retail and entertainment. When you want to stick closer to home, start your day at Winnie's Cafe. This family-owned coffee shop using house-roasted Ethiopian coffee beans and serving pastries made by Winnie herself. For lunch, visit My's Vietnamese sandwiches. A go-to spot for banh mi and other delicacies, My's is a neighborhood favorite.
Another go-to for locals is Skyway Outdoor Cinema. Sponsored by the West Hill Community Association, this community event screens family-friendly movies across from the Skyway Library all summer long. At the Skyway Library, families and children will enjoy art and poetry workshops, free tutoring sessions and weekly story time. When running errands, head south into Renton for grocery stores, shopping at The Landing town center and entertainment like TopGolf. You'll also find global cuisine options, where you can sample Hawaiian, Japanese, Mexican, Thai and soul food, to name a few.
