Gatewood rewards residents with west-facing views of Puget Sound and the Olympics, walkable blocks, and a relaxed pace. Set along California Ave SW and 35th Ave SW in Seattle’s West Seattle, it sits just up the hill from Fauntleroy and near Morgan Junction, giving you easy access to cafés, markets, and transit while keeping streets quiet.
Weekends often revolve around the outdoors. Sprawling waterfront trails and tidepools at Lincoln Park beckon for morning runs or sunset picnics, while hillside Solstice Park lines up the setting sun with stone markers during the equinoxes—a secret that feels magical.
Families appreciate strong public schools, including Gatewood Elementary School, with Denny International Middle School and Chief Sealth International High School serving older students. The neighborhood’s Southwest Library branch of The Seattle Public Library offers study spaces, story times, and community events.
Commuters catch RapidRide C Line buses on California Ave SW, and weekend adventurers can roll down to the Fauntleroy ferry terminal for easy escapes to Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula. With classic Craftsman homes, mid-century architecture, and updated builds, housing options suit a range of budgets and lifestyles.
