About Admiral
Admiral sits at the top of the West Seattle hill, anchored by the Admiral Junction's restaurants, the historic Admiral Theater, and Hiawatha Park. The neighborhood balances walkable retail with quiet residential streets running north to Schmitz Preserve.
Buyers find a mix of restored 1920s Craftsman homes, mid-century ranches, and a growing number of contemporary infill builds. View lots toward downtown and the Sound carry meaningful premiums, but interior streets still offer family-friendly value within West Seattle.
