linasenzerroseParticipantHi!
My family is thinking about moving and I am looking at houses in the High Point neighborhood, near 31st and raymond area. Looking throughout West Seattle as well but there is a particular house I am interested in, in highpoint and I don’t know that area as well as some of the other WS neighborhoods. We live now right on 35th and are looking for a little quieter, more neighborhoody feel, a a bigger place than we have now. Friendly neighbors, walk-ability, parks nearby for our seven year old to plan in. Any High Point residents have any reviews of the area? Highlights? Cons/drawbacks to the neighborhood? Thanks!January 7, 2019 at 2:29 pm #937563
shaze25ParticipantI have lived in two different places in High Point (townhouse and now single family) for the last 6-7 years. I’m a few blocks from where you are looking but we don’t have many complaints. I’m sure you will see comment here about crime or gangs but we’ve never had any issues. We’ve never had a package stolen, car break in or any confrontations and I walk to/from the bus daily. We walk the neighborhood and use the park near 31st/Raymond often for our daughter. Since we’ve lived on two different blocks it can vary depending on where you are. The first block we met our neighbors but nothing more than waiving hello. Our new block is much more conversational. There is a lot of turnover in the neighborhood as houses will always be for sale. It’s very walkable and I like having a buzz in the neighborhood during the summer months especially. A con could be that the homes are clearly very close together so one bad neighbor is a problem for everyone. We haven’t seen much of this but occasional noise issues at our townhouse.
It’s a doable walk to Morgan Junction and easy walk to the bus at 35th/Morgan but until the Upton Flats is finished we won’t have much for an easy walk. Crossing our fingers on a food place or at least coffee there. I ride the bus daily and don’t have many issues there.
