Burien is a small suburban city, perfectly positioned to give residents easy access to virtually everything the Puget Sound area has to offer. Downtown Seattle is less than fifteen miles north and Sea-Tac Airport lies just outside the city’s southeast corner, making it an excellent rental location for commuters and jet-setters.
The community enjoys a large waterfront area, with Seahurst Park providing an unspoiled natural playground with stunning views of Puget Sound and the evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest. The area known as “Olde Burien” serves as the city’s highly-walkable downtown business district, with an abundance of locally-owned shops, restaurants, and watering holes clustered together along 152nd Street.
