Right in the commercial district of Issaquah, Newport not only centers you in the city's abundant shops and restaurants but also grounds you in nature with its many parks and trails within walking distance of homes.

Locals live in modern housing developments on the neighborhood's western hillside. You'll find 3,000 to 4,000-square-foot Craftsman-style homes, many of which overlook nearby Lake Sammamish and the distant Cascade Mountain Range. Depending on the size of the home and the views, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1.5 to $2.5 million. Other developments feature town houses built in 2020 with sleek contemporary designs, ranging from $875,000 for two bedrooms up to $1 million for three. You can also settle down in a smaller one-to-two-bedroom town house from the 1990s, which sells for around $500,000 to $650,000.

Down from the residential hills, you're greeted by tons of shopping centers. With several big box stores like Target, Hobby Lobby and Safeway, you don't have to go far to find what you need. There are also dozens of local restaurants that will satisfy any craving. Start your morning in a homey atmosphere at Issaquah Café, most notable for its classic breakfast options. In the mood for Pakistani food? Stop by Naan N Curry, where the specialty is in the name. You can also enjoy gourmet Neapolitan pizza at Tutta Bella, a popular Seattle chain, delicious Indian cuisine from Madras Dosa Corner or hang out with friends in the beer garden at Formula Brewery. This busy commercial strip intersects with Interstate 90, which can take you 15 miles west to Seattle.

Newport seamlessly blends into Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park with trails that are easily accessible from the neighborhood's housing developments. The trails will take you all throughout the 3,115-acre forested park with stunning views of Lake Sammamish, the Cascades and Seattle. Lake Sammamish State Park is just across I-90, where you can relax on the two beaches and go for a swim during the warmer months. Locals enjoy visiting Tibbetts Valley Park to play on the playground and pickleball courts. It's also a popular spot for skaters hitting the bowls and ramps at the skatepark. When it's a bit too cold out, you can have fun at Arena Sports, which offers youth and adult soccer leagues and a giant arcade with tons of games, laser tag and an escape room.

When kids aren't running around the arcade, they're studying through the highly-rated Issaquah School District, ranked the fifth-best in the state by Niche. Students attend Sunset Elementary and Pacific Cascade Middle Schools, both of which receive an A grade. They'll go on to Issaquah High School, rated an A-plus and ranked the 13th-best high school in Washington. GreatSchools gives Issaquah High a 10 out of 10 in both test scores and college readiness, with students averaging a 1,222 SAT score, far above the state average of 1067.

On top of stellar academics, Newport is loved for its convenience to all of the city's stores and restaurants while surrounded by beautiful forests, lakes and mountains.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
