About This Community

Alki Beach's Premier Oceanfront Living

Bay Villa Alki Beach represents a pinnacle of oceanfront Seattle living. Built in 1997, this 6-story, 16-unit condominium occupies one of Alki Beach's most coveted locations, offering residents direct access to Puget Sound waterfront and Elliott Bay views from multiple units.

The building's boutique size—just 16 units across 6 stories—creates an intimate community atmosphere. Every unit features a full-size washer and dryer, a rarity in Seattle condo buildings and a significant lifestyle advantage. Controlled access ensures security and privacy, while the on-site fitness center caters to health-conscious residents.

Parking is garage-based, protecting vehicles from Seattle's elements. The exceptionally high owner-occupancy rate and long tenure of most residents mean a mature, stable HOA with predictable operations and genuine community bonds. Bay Villa attracts multigenerational families, retired professionals, and empty-nesters seeking authentic beachfront living without the transience of vacation rentals.

Buyer Considerations

Is Bay Villa Alki Beach Right for You?

Oceanfront Lifestyle

Direct beach access, Puget Sound views, and proximity to Alki's restaurants, shops, and recreational activities make this ideal for buyers seeking authentic waterfront living without leaving Seattle.

Owner-Occupied Community

High owner-occupancy and long-term residents signal stability. HOA operations are predictable, maintenance budgets are sustainable, and the community attracts serious homeowners rather than investors.

Full In-Unit Laundry

Not common in Seattle condos. Full-size washer/dryer in every unit eliminates trips to shared facilities and adds exceptional lifestyle convenience—a major long-term value driver.

Boutique Size Advantage

With only 16 units, the building maintains intimacy while still supporting full amenities (fitness center, controlled access). Fewer units means stronger governance and faster decision-making.

Common Questions

FAQs About Bay Villa Alki Beach

What is the typical HOA fee at Bay Villa Alki Beach? +
HOA fees at Bay Villa Alki Beach are moderate relative to amenities and oceanfront location. Because the building is small (16 units) and well-maintained by long-term owners, operational costs remain efficient. Contact Jeff for current HOA details and reserve fund status.
Are units available for purchase or lease? +
Bay Villa is primarily owner-occupied. Units occasionally come to market through retirement or relocation. Many sales occur off-market through direct owner networks. Jeff has relationships with current and former residents and can alert you to opportunities before public listing.
What are the views like at Bay Villa Alki Beach? +
Upper-floor units (particularly 4-6) typically command direct Puget Sound and Elliott Bay views. West-facing units overlook the water, while some north-facing units capture mountain and skyline views. Lower floors may have partial water views or park/street views. Unit-specific views vary; Jeff can detail views for specific units.
How does parking work, and is it covered? +
All units include garage parking, with spaces assigned or available for lease. Covered parking protects vehicles and is a major advantage in Seattle's wet climate. Some units include multiple spaces; this varies by floor plan. Visitors can use guest parking if available.
What makes Bay Villa Alki Beach unique compared to other Alki buildings? +
Bay Villa's combination of small size (16 units), newer construction (1997), full in-unit laundry, and exceptionally high owner-occupancy sets it apart. It attracts serious homeowners rather than investors, creating a stable, mature community. Nearby buildings like Alki Shores are older and larger; newer ultra-luxury buildings like 1200 Alki occupy exclusive niches.
