Downtown Seattle is about 8 miles away, and it's roughly 12 miles to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Many relatively affordable single-family homes, both vintage and new
Housing options range from early to mid-20th-century bungalows and ramblers, to some newer construction, including modern farmhouses, contemporary cottages, condos and townhomes. Single-family homes make up the majority and range from the low $400,000 to over $1.4 million. Some at the low end of the price range are under 800 square feet.
Davey Wilde, a Realtor with Compass, says the neighborhood is midrange compared to nearby areas like Fauntleroy. "It's more affordable because the closer you get to water, the more the prices go up." Roxhill's median sales price is about $700,000, while Fauntleroy's is over $1.1 million.
Bungalows are a popular option for prospective homebuyers who do not require a large footprint.
Modern finishes and elegant designs have been added to many split-level homes in Roxhill.
