The Neighborhood
Fauntleroy
Fauntleroy is the southernmost major neighborhood in West Seattle, anchored by the ferry terminal providing service to Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula. Lincoln Park (one of Seattle's best parks, with old-growth forest, a saltwater swimming pool, and miles of trails) occupies the eastern edge of the neighborhood.
The neighborhood draws buyers who value the Puget Sound waterfront, ferry access, and the park in preference to the urban commercial activity of the Junction or Admiral. It is quieter and more removed from central West Seattle, which is part of the appeal.
