Roxhill

Seattle's Delridge district, about 5.85 miles from downtown, in King County.

Researched and written by Ryan Rose · Updated October 29, 2026

Block length is what I noticed first in Roxhill's street records: the average block runs 452 ft, longer than 90% of Seattle neighborhoods, with 130 intersections per square mile. Sidewalk coverage is an estimated 83.2%, higher than 75% of the city, and I counted 65 transit stops within a quarter mile. Homes are mostly single-family, at 92.4%, on lots averaging 6,427 sq ft, and Roxhill Park is among the green spaces I mapped.
