Woodridge has lake views, a city skyline and a close-knit community

Place a neighborly community on a hill with a beautiful city skyline and lake views, and that’s Woodridge, a sought-after Bellvue neighborhood. “It’s one of those neighborhoods with an overwhelming sense of community,” says Cynthia Harper, founding broker of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty. “If I were a kid, I’d want to trick-or-treat there. It’s just that kind of place where they go all out decorating for the holidays, and everyone is out on their porches engaging in conversation.”

Most houses sell for $1.2 to $4 million, depending on size and view

Trick-or-treaters may have to walk up a lot of steep hills, but there are plenty of homes throughout this suburban neighborhood that make it all worthwhile. Ranch-style and split-level houses are the most common, with some mid-century-modern homes blended in as well. Most homes are fixed on approximately quarter-acre lots, offering anywhere from 1,500 to 4,000 square feet of living space. Smaller three-bedroom homes sell for around $1.2 to $1.4 million, while larger four-to-five-bedroom houses range anywhere from $1.5 to $4 million. The stunning visuals in Woodridge factor into prices as well. Some homes in the neighborhood offer views of Downtown Bellevue and Seattle, as well as the sprawling waters of Lake Washington.

Summer block parties and pool days bring neighbors together

Summer is a particularly special time of year for the community. “Different streets are always throwing block parties,” says Harper. “They all come together and it’s just a warm and welcoming environment.” Family and friends also enjoy gathering at the two community pools, whether to jump off the diving board at Woodridge Swim Club or zip down the water slide at Norwood Swim Club. The latter is situated at Norwood Village Park, where, after a swim, visitors can play basketball and pickleball or have fun on the playground. The neighborhood sidewalks allow for peaceful strolls throughout the neighborhood, which lead to many woodsy trails shaded by towering firs and pines. Woodridge Water Tower Park has more shaded trails on an acre surrounding the neighborhood’s blue water tower.
