A room with a view
Residents in Fauntleroy experience a tranquil lifestyle with stunning views of Puget Sound. "Considering its relative isolation from the busier parts of Seattle, it's no surprise that the vibe in Fauntleroy is mellow," says Sotheby's International Realty's Sandra Hines, a Realtor/associate broker who lives in West Seattle. The biggest draw to the area is Lincoln Park, which is walkable from many parts of the neighborhood. "There's 1 to 1½ miles of waterfront for people to enjoy, just steps from home," says John L. Scott Real Estate Realtor Jonn McYnturff, a 21-year real estate veteran who lives in the northwestern section of Seattle. The neighborhood is also home to the Fauntleroy-Southworth Ferry, which connects locals to Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula.
