Beverly Park
Discover Beverly Park: West Seattle’s Secret Forest Hideaway
Tucked between arterial roads yet worlds apart, Beverly Park feels like stumbling upon a Pacific Northwest fairy tale—a neighborhood where winding lanes disappear beneath cathedral evergreens, mid-century ranches hide behind rhododendron curtains, and the only traffic comes from deer crossing quiet cul-de-sacs. This is for those who crave forest serenity without sacrificing city convenience, where your backyard might border an emerald ravine just minutes from Alki’s beach buzz.
A Neighborhood Suspended in Green
Beverly Park’s magic grows from its untamed beauty:
1960s cedar-clad ramblers with sunken living rooms overlooking fern groves
New craftsman-style homes designed to disappear into the tree canopy
The hidden trail network connecting to the larger West Seattle greenbelt
Secret clearings where neighbors gather for summer storytelling circles
Can’t-Miss Beverly Park Moments
✔ The annual "Tour de Forest" bike parade through mossy lanes
✔ October mornings when fog clings to towering Douglas firs
✔ The community-built treehouse hidden in the greenbelt
✔ Winter nights when rain on the canopy sounds like nature’s lullaby
A Day in This Woodland Retreat
Living here means:
Dawn: Spotting barred owls while sipping coffee on your cedar deck
Afternoon: Foraging chanterelles along the ravine’s secret paths
Sunset: Potlucks where kids roast marshmallows in stone fire circles
Late: Stargazing through tree gaps impossible in light-polluted streets
Why Beverly Park Charms
Walk Score 15 – Blissfully disconnected (but just 5 minutes to California Ave)
Nature immersion: More bird species than streetlights
Community spirit: Neighborhood Facebook page tracks bear sightings, not drama
Best-kept secret: The abandoned rope swing over a hidden creek
For those who want to trade sidewalk chatter for woodpecker tattoos, where Halloween means flashlight-lit trick-or-treating under towering firs, and where your home feels like a treehouse for grown-ups—Beverly Park delivers wilderness living with West Seattle’s amenities just down the hill.
