Community with many personalities
Fauntleroy comprises flat areas with wide streets and sidewalks, as well as a hilly region with narrow winding roads that lack sidewalks. Fauntleroy features different architectural styles depending on the home’s age and location. “There’s a mix of everything,” McYnturff says. “There’s a midcentury subdivision. You’ll also find Tudors, Craftsman and contemporary-style homes, many of which have views of the water and the Olympic Mountains.” Prices range from the more budget-friendly $573,000 to $3.9 million. For $625,000, a buyer can get a 1,290-square-foot two-bedroom, one-bath home that sits on just over 1/8 of an acre. A $2.5 million price tag offers a 1,610-square-foot waterfront home with two bedrooms and two baths.

"Fauntleroy is an overwhelmingly residential community," Hines says. "Its business area consists of just a few small businesses up the street from the ferry dock," Hines says. There are a few noteworthy dining spots in the area, including Endolyn Joe's, which features rotating special menus from around the world, plus regional American comfort food. Wildwood Market, less than a mile's drive on local roads, is a combination market and restaurant where residents can order meals and stock up on staples. Another market/restaurant is West Seattle Thriftway, A 1.3-mile drive on local streets. The eatery sells a broad selection of products and offers breakfast, lunch and dinner.
