High Point

Seattle's Delridge district, about 4.68 miles from downtown, in King County.

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

Getting around High Point, I found a street grid with long blocks: the average is 454 ft, longer than 90% of Seattle neighborhoods, and intersections come to 100 per square mile. Sidewalk coverage is an estimated 66.4%, which is a real trade-off. What stands out most in my notes is the housing: a median build year of 2007, newer than all 82 other compared neighborhoods, with 53.3% single-family and 42.6% townhouse. I also noted Longfellow Creek Natural Area and Walt Hundley Playfield inside its 532 acres.
