Suburbia between two lakes, with city proximity
Eastgate is a suburban Bellevue neighborhood nestled in between Washington state's biggest lakes. For city-style amenities, it's only about 5 miles to downtown Bellevue and 11 miles to downtown Seattle. Homebuyers who want to live close to the natural beauty of Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish without paying waterfront prices will consider this setting. "It's a more traditional neighborhood which was really built out in the post-WWII era," says Marc Erickson, founder/broker with Allied Property Experts. He's a Seattle-area resident with over two decades of real estate experience, including investing, lending, new construction and development.
Eastgate is a neighborhood in the city of Bellevue, just east of Seattle across Lake Washington.
Eastgate is a neighborhood conveniently close to lots of nature such as lakes and parks.

I-90 intersects area; Metro bus routes
Interstate 90 runs right through Eastgate, so it's easy to travel to downtown Bellevue or Seattle. Residents benefit from being outside of Seattle congestion, according to Erickson. "One nice thing for Eastgate is convenience for anyone heading to eastern Washington," he says. "Getting on I-90 and going east, it's about an hour to skiing areas and Suncadia resort." Interstate 405 is also nearby. King County Metro buses run on several routes, accessible from the Park and Ride as well as other stops. For long-distance travel, it's about a 16-mile drive southwest to reach Sea-Tac, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Older million-dollar homes; $3 million new builds
Many of Eastgate's older houses date to the 1950s and '60s, including ranch-style homes and split levels of about 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. A few options, including townhouses, are under $1 million, but most exceed $1.2 million.Prices here are lower than for comparable homes in other Bellevue neighborhoods, including those closer to downtown or on the lakefront. "Similar houses north of I-90 could easily be $100,000 more," Erickson says. "Choosing Eastgate is a way to get into Bellevue with a little more affordability. Especially for people who want to fix up a place and gain equity."Later construction includes modern and contemporary styles, with builds typically over 4,000 square feet taking the places of older homes that were torn down. These spacious new homes are priced over $3 million.
Some of Eastgate's older homes are from the middle of the 20th century and sit near new builds.
