Welcome to the High Point Neighborhood Website! Located in West Seattle, High Point is the largest master-planned community developed by the Seattle Housing Authority and was designed to be the most progressive environmentally friendly community in the country. It is situated on 120 acres in the middle of West Seattle, and is one of Seattle’s most diverse neighborhoods. When completed in 2010, it will be home to over 4,000 people residing in approximately 1,600 homes. About half of all homes will be owned by individual homeowners; with the other half rental homes. While the majority of rental homes are designated for people with low incomes, some will be rented at market rates.

This website is hosted by the High Point Neighborhood Association to help further it's mission of fostering the development of a vibrant and caring community committed to service, inclusiveness, lifelong learning, and well-being. Neighbors are invited to contribute to the website by e-mailing any of the Neighborhood Association members or the webmaster!
