About this home
Rare investment opportunity in a development-friendly community! Two separately platted lots totaling nearly one acre offer an exceptional canvas for a multifamily project in a rapidly evolving South King County submarket. Zoned MU-1 (multifamily), the property presents compelling potential for up to 12 townhomes or 22 apartment residences, subject to buyer verification and all applicable approvals. Set along historic Military Road near Rainier Golf & Country Club, this unique offering combines a surprisingly private setting with convenient access to Seattle, approximately 15 minutes away. Nearby single-family neighborhoods create an attractive residential backdrop, while proximity to major employment centers, shopping, dining, transit connections, and regional transportation corridors supports long-term rental and resale appeal. Whether envisioning a boutique townhome community, thoughtfully designed apartments, or a strategic land investment, the scale and flexibility of these two lots create exciting possibilities for builders today!! A rare chance to secure substantial multifamily-zoned land in a well-connected location at the doorstep of Seattle. Buyer to independently verify zoning, density, utilities, access, development capacity, and permitting requirements
Southern Heights, located between 1st Avenue S and Ambaum Boulevard SW, is a residential and hillside Burien neighborhood with mid-century streetscapes and Puget Sound–oriented viewpoints. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 1st Ave S corridor near SW 152nd St, where small storefronts, espresso counters, and local eateries set a steady, walk-up-and-go rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward postwar ramblers and split-levels on curving roads, with pockets of newer infill. Green space and trail connections shape daily routines, with nearby parkland and the shoreline drawing people outdoors. The terrain creates a layered feel—quiet blocks above, busier commercial edges below. A short drive away, community pillars like Elliott Bay Brewing Co., Burien Press, and the Highline Heritage Museum help anchor local culture.
