Woodmont homes for sale — more space and lower density in south Des Moines.

Woodmont is a quiet, established residential neighborhood straddling the south Des Moines and north Federal Way border area. It is known for larger lots, mature trees, and lower density than the waterfront communities to the north in Des Moines proper. Buyers who need more space per dollar than Redondo Beach offers — families, buyers upgrading from smaller homes, and buyers priced out of Des Moines waterfront — find Woodmont to be the practical upgrade.

Woodmont homes typically range from $600,000 to $950,000 depending on lot size, condition, view potential, and proximity to Puget Sound. Larger lots with mature landscaping and updated interiors command the upper end of the range. Well-maintained original homes on standard lots offer the entry point into the neighborhood. The price-per-square-foot is consistently lower than Redondo and Seahurst, which makes Woodmont the value proposition for buyers who prioritize space over waterfront proximity.

Woodmont straddles the boundary between Highline School District and Federal Way School District depending on the specific address. Buyers must verify school assignments directly with both districts before purchase — this is a material consideration for families and affects both daily logistics and long-term resale to family buyers. RexMont always flags this verification need early in the search process for Woodmont buyers.

Redondo offers a waterfront lifestyle with the boardwalk, pier, and Puget Sound access as its centerpiece — buyers pay for proximity to the water. Woodmont is a residential neighborhood without waterfront access, but it offers larger lots, more space per dollar, and lower density. The trade-off is clear: Woodmont buyers get more house and yard for less money, while Redondo buyers get waterfront access and the beach village lifestyle. Many buyers who start in Redondo end up in Woodmont once they run the numbers on what space and school district considerations mean for their family.
