About Twin

Lakes

Twin Lakes, located between SW 320th St and SW 356th St, is a residential and golf-adjacent Federal Way neighborhood with wooded streets and lake views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Twin Lakes Golf & Country Club, where fairways, clubhouse activity, and curving drives set the tone. Mid-century ramblers and split-levels mix with newer builds, often framed by evergreens and generous setbacks. The landscape leans into water and green space, with Twin Lakes Park and nearby trails shaping a walk-and-roll routine. For local culture, the Federal Way Performing Arts & Event Center, Centerstage Theatre, and the Pacific Bonsai Museum anchor nights out beyond the cul-de-sacs.
