About Roxhill

Finding Roxhill in Southwest Seattle

Roxhill makes up the western half of Westwood, one of the informal neighborhoods grouped under the Delridge name, though many people simply fold the whole area into West Seattle. The western edge of Delridge is usually drawn along 35th Avenue SW, and unincorporated White Center lies just to the south.

Most of the streets here are lined with homes, but the neighborhood also has a clear center for shopping and errands. That mix makes Roxhill a practical stop on your day rather than a destination packed with attractions.
