Four miles from Downtown Bellevue
Crossroads, in suburban Bellevue, includes an expansive shopping complex that's become synonymous with the neighborhood. The area attracts tech workers who appreciate the proximity to Microsoft and Meta. Crossroads is also known for demographic diversity and community spirit, as seen in its array of international businesses, cultural organizations and engaged residents. The neighborhood is only about 4 miles from Downtown Bellevue. "It's a great neighborhood that also has amenities that make it almost its own city. There are multiple retail and restaurant options," says Chris Tolstoy, who, along with his wife Apryl, is a real estate broker with Keller Williams Eastside.
Crossroads Bellevue: more than just a mall
Anchoring the community, Crossroads Bellevue shopping mall is a gathering space and venue for local events in addition to offering retail. There's a blend of national retailers, smaller shops and plenty of dining options, with 30 international restaurants. Half Price Books or Barnes & Noble are two spots for bibliophiles; there's Dick's Sporting Goods for outdoorsy folks and QFC for groceries. Eateries around Crossroads offer cuisine from around the world, whether it's borsch and kebab from Hye Life Cafe and Bar, spicy beef brisket soup from Ten Seconds Yunnan Rice Noodle or butter chicken from Namasthe.
Also at the mall there's a Regal movie theatre, a police station and the Library Connection, a scaled-down branch of the King County Public Library. The mall hosts community events and civic services at the Community Table and Mini City Hall; live performances are held at the Market Stage, and the Crossroads Farmers Market is held in the east parking lot on Tuesdays.
Easy commutes to Microsoft and Meta
Bel-Red Road is set along the northern side of the neighborhood and state Route 520 and Interstate 405 are close by. It's an easy commute for anyone working at Meta's Spring District campus, about 3 miles away. It's about 5 miles to Redmond, home of the Microsoft Headquarters, which has been enhanced by an ongoing multibillion-dollar campus refresh. "Crossroads has a really unique opportunity, not just for tech employees, but anyone who wants to be near the ever-evolving Fortune 500 company," Tolstoy says. A large percentage of the population that lives and works on the east side of Seattle works at Microsoft. "Crossroads is actually considered to be in the 'Microsoft zone' in the real estate world," Tolstoy says.
Downtown Seattle is about 14 miles west, across Lake Washington. "There's really easy access on the 520 if you're okay paying the toll on the bridge," says Tolstoy. Sea-Tac, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, is located about 18 miles southwest. Bus service is available, and Sound Transit's light rail East Link Extension has added new stations for the area. In spring 2024, the 2 Line, between South Bellevue and Redmond Technology Station, was opened. The Bel-Red Station, a few miles west of Crossroads, provides 300 parking spaces.
Crossroads Community Center programs and park
Crossroads Community Center has a connection to arts and culture that reflects the international nature and diversity of the community. Among organizations that regularly use or perform in the space are the Huayin Performing Arts Group with traditional Chinese Dance, the Ladies Musical Club of Seattle and an Aztec dance group, Nahui Ollin Tezcatlipocatl of Bellevue. The center also has a game room and a gym with opportunities for drop-in sports. The Transcend United program focuses on opportunities for seniors, and participants in the Bellevue Youth Theater — which is located just across the parking lot — also regularly use the center.
Right by the community center, the neighborhood's namesake park is 34 acres, with everything from a horseshoe pit to walking paths and a 9-hole golf course. For those who want a more immersive nature experience, just a few miles to the north is Bridle Trails State Park, which has 489 acres of space and 28 miles of multi-use trails.
Homes $1 million-plus include Lofts at 15th
A variety of housing options are available for prospective residents. "It's mainly single-family residences and some townhomes, but the walkability is not premium," says Tolstoy. "It's great to walk around the neighborhood, but it's not like you are walking to the park; most people are driving." Houses built from the 1960s through the 2010s include ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals, selling from $1 million to $2.5 million. Luxury condominiums, like the Lofts at 15th, feature Northwest contemporary architecture and are priced at $1.2 to $1.5 million.
Stevenson Elementary, Highland and Interlake
Public school students may attend Stevenson Elementary, which has a B-minus grade from Niche and offers a Spanish dual-language program. Highland Middle has a B grade, and Interlake High has an A-plus. Interlake is an authorized International Baccalaureate World School with a focus on college preparatory classes.
Bellevue Fashion Week and an arts fair
In addition to gatherings at the community center and Crossroads Bellevue, annual events in the greater Bellevue and Seattle area include the Bellevue Arts Fair, Bellevue Fashion Week, the Bellevue Jazz & Blues Music Series, the Wintergrass Bluegrass Music Festival and Seafair, a summer festival with hydroplane races, a triathlon and airshows with the Blue Angels.
