Like you, I will also be working in Federal Way. I'm not yet an Auburn resident, but I will say that we bought our new house in Lakeland because of the family-friendly neighborhood and the school system. But there are differences between different areas. Some parts of Auburn, like the rest of the south end (and anywhere else, I suppose) have more issues than others.
We like it up on the hill. Lake Tapps is nearby and there is a great park with sports courts and a skateboard area. Shopping and dining are within walking distance and we're not far from movies, Wild Waves in the summer or Crystal Mountain in the winter, so the kids will have plenty of activities. The high school (Auburn Riverside) is within walking/biking distance (although there is a big hill to come back up).
It's a great area for families in the south end.
We're living in an apartment on Queen Anne while the house is finished and I was telling a resident where we were going to be living, and she said she has family there, we'd really like it. I get that a lot.
