Businesses along Delridge, the Junction's nearby

Along Delridge Way there are some businesses close to home. Uptown Espresso, a branch of the Seattle brand that started in the 1980s, has breakfast and lunch and is known for its coffee brewed from proprietary beans and topped with velvet foam. Ounces Taproom & Beer Garden stays loyal to Washington-only beers, cider and wine. Rotating food truck options and events like trivia night, Springfest and a Sunday run club make this a local favorite. Skylark Café & Club is the place to go at night: it stays open until midnight or 1 a.m., every day except Sunday. Nearby is the Junction, also known as "West Seattle Junction" or "Alaska Junction." This strip of shops and eateries has a mix of long-established businesses and newer, hip shops and bars. California Avenue's shops include Easy Street Records & Cafe, Pegasus Book Exchange, the Antique Mall of West Seattle and tattoo parlors. "The Junction is a really popular destination for going out at night," says Marcel Kluetz, a Queen Anne Real Estate broker with more than ten years of sales experience and an impressive industry network. There are several grocery options in the area and for locally sourced produce, residents shop West Seattle Farmers Market on Sunday mornings. Kluetz says people travel to the market in the off-season since it's open year-round.

From early 1900s houses to new Ridge Cottages

Single-family homes, dating from the early 1900s to the present, are typically priced from $475,000 for a two-bedroom of less than 1,400 square feet to $900,000s for roomier and newer houses. In the past decade, North Delridge has seen new development replace older houses. For example, the brand-new pocket community Ridge Cottages features condos for about $628,000 to $960,000. Some of the Ridge Cottages come with monthly HOA dues of $36. "Prices tend to increase as you travel north in this area," Kluetz says. On the high end of North Delridge's new construction, 2,500-to-3,400-square-foot builds go up to $1.4 million.

Got safer over the years as new people moved in. Lots of new housing due to the influx of people moving into Seattle. Not much of a big community feel.
