Bordering Dash Point State Park and the Redondo shoreline, 98023 (west Federal Way) offers wooded neighborhoods, quiet cul-de-sacs, and Puget Sound sunsets. Recent Zillow market trends show the median asking rent in the past few months hovering in the low $2,000s, with most rentals around $1,700–$2,900 per month. Weekends skew outdoorsy—walk the BPA Trail, launch a kayak at Redondo, or explore the beach and bluffs at Dash Point—while golfers gravitate to Twin Lakes Golf & Country Club. Everyday errands are easy with Safeway and QFC near Twin Lakes/Lakota, coffee stands and Starbucks along SW 320th, and shopping at Twin Lakes Village, West Campus Square, and nearby The Commons. The Dumas Bay Centre and Knutzen Family Theatre add a small arts touch, and the Federal Way Community Center and LA Fitness keep fitness convenient. Family- and pet-friendly, the area feels suburban and relaxed, yet commuters have quick access to I-5, SR-99, and Hwy 18.
