About Arbor Heights
Arbor Heights sits at the southwestern corner of West Seattle, a quiet residential pocket bordered by greenbelt and steps from the Sound. The streets are leafy and family-oriented, with strong neighborhood ties and minimal through-traffic.
Most homes are mid-century ranches and split-levels on generous lots, with a steady trickle of teardown/rebuild activity producing larger contemporary homes. Buyers come for relative value compared to the Junction and a true suburban feel still inside Seattle city limits.
