Northeast Bellevue
A wide array of homes under tall tree canopies
Homes in the area are a mix of established houses of the 1960s and new builds tucked behind towering trees on lush lots. Roads meander throughout the community's rolling hills, offering scenic views of Lake Sammamish and the Cascades from its peaks. Bilevels, spacious midcentury homes and contemporary new builds line the streets and colorful cul-de-sacs in town. Homes range, on average, from $1 million to $2 million, with the median at $1.5 million. There are also a few outlying properties along the shores of the lake that can reach up to $5 million.

Best school district in Washington State
Students enrolled in public school will attend the Bellevue School District, rated by Niche as the number one district in Washington State. "Schools here are one of the biggest draws for homebuyers," Williamson says. Bennett Elementary is where students can begin their education. Rated an A by Niche.com, the school has very high proficiency in reading and math. Students can continue learning at Highland Middle School, just west of the neighborhood and rated a B. The school offers various student athletics, such as tennis and rugby. Receiving the highest score possible of an A-plus is Interlake High. It utilizes a cohort academic program focusing on advanced learning classes using the International Baccalaureate model.

Birdwatching, beach volleyball and basketball
Bellevue is an active, outdoorsy city, and residents can be found using the local parks all year round. Ardmore Park is a lush, 30-acre green space popular for trail hiking and birdwatching. One can even glimpse the occasional Bald Eagle along the forested paths. Another regular spot on the weekends is Ivanhoe Park and Sports Fields. Divided by Northup Way, the park offers a basketball court, soccer fields, a baseball diamond and a small playground under tall fir and spruce trees. Locals looking for a beach day can head to Idylwood Park for a sandy bluff, beach volleyball courts and a kayak launch into Lake Sammamish.

Shopping plazas in the neighboring town
Northeast Bellevue is heavily residential, requiring residents to travel outside the limits for shopping and dining options. Fortunately, a few conveniently close hubs are a short drive away. Crossroads Bellevue is an outdoor shopping mall south of the neighborhood, and a sizeable shopping is at the intersection of 148th Ave NE & NE 20th Street. Popular chains and grocery stores are plentiful alongside Marshalls and Ross, while a few multicultural eateries are nearby. Vrindaavan Indian Restaurant and Bakery, for one, is a highly-rated spot serving traditional North Indian food with plenty of vegetarian options.
/
Downtown Bellevue brings residents in
By driving 10 minutes west into Downtown Bellevue, residents can attend the community's many annual events. Open rain or shine from May to October, The Bellevue Farmer's Market has fresh meats, vegetables, cut flowers and handmade artisan goods. There is also live music and kid-friendly activities to enjoy while perusing the marketplace. Also in Bellevue, during the last weekend of July, is the Bellevue Arts Museum Fair. It is the largest arts and crafts festival of the Northwest, bringing in over 300 artists alongside activities, food trucks and wellness programs.
/
A short commute to larger cities
Washington State Route 520 runs east and west of Northeast Bellevue from Redmond towards Seattle. With onramps just outside the neighborhood, many residents use this freeway for commuting to and from work. Northeast Bellevue has well-maintained and ample sidewalks, making it walkable for leisure. However, the neighborhood is car-dependent for most necessities like shopping and commuting.
