Welcome to Everest, a neighborhood beloved for its baseball, bonded community and beautiful views.

Everest
High-end properties with room to build and invest
Although it’s Kirkland’s smallest neighborhood, Everest has a big spirit. Its residents are bound by their shared love of baseball and sense of community. Beyond that, the neighborhood boasts lavish homes and stunning views of the Olympic Mountains, Lake Washington and city lights. “If you're looking to buy an elite property in Kirkland and you want to have privacy and great neighbors, Everest is going to be that neighborhood,” says Adriano Tori, Founder and Broker of RexMont Real Estate. “It’s a suburb that’s surrounded by urban amenities.” The neighborhood offers a mix of single-family, extravagant Northwest Contemporary homes, condos and unique properties like trendy treehouses and eclectic postmodern houses. Most homes were built in the late 1970s, but there are many newly constructed and recently remodeled ones, as well. Everest homes range from $1 million to $4 million, and yards are filled with terraced garden lots, fruit trees, firepits and large brick patios with lot sizes from around 10,000 square feet up to 27,000. “People are looking to have more land compared to what is being offered by new construction companies,” says Tori. “They want to be able to subdivide lots for further development to maximize their investment.” Higher-end homes offer ultimate seclusion with fortress-esque landscaping, spacious decks, gazebos and greenhouses. While a dense greenbelt of spruce and Douglas fir trees envelops the neighborhood, Everest is just a short walk or bike ride to Downtown Kirkland.

Public schools feature extracurriculars and strong academics
Everest is served by the Lake Washington School District, which earns an A-plus rating from Niche, which ranks it as the fourth-best school district in Washington State. Students can start off their academic journeys at Lakeview Elementary, which earns an A, followed by Kirkland Middle School, which also earns an A. Lake Washington High School, also rated an A, completes the A-rating trifecta. The high school offers badminton and basketball as varsity-level sports, as well as an editorial cartoon club.

Global softball and local baseball games are neighborhood traditions
Everest’s love for baseball comes alive at the beloved Everest Park. Boasting four baseball fields and batting cages, the park is known for its role in the Kirkland Little League scene and is where the Junior League Softball World Series is held every year, drawing teams from all over the world. “It’s very popular with residents, and it brings families together to support the junior leagues and spotlights our town,” Tori says. Stands packed with cheering fans are a time-honored tradition here, and the concession stand is a local favorite for its ballpark classics, shirts and souvenirs. The Little League also hosts fan appreciation days and regular celebrations commemorating over 60 years of baseball in Everest Park.

Walkable access to Google, groceries and global cuisine
Home to Google’s Kirkland campus, tech and creative professionals will enjoy Everest for its luxurious living without the commute. For shopping and dining, head to Everest’s southern side, where locals can get a hot meatball sub or cold club specialty at Sarducci’s or Bibi Mediterranean Inspired Food for authentic Persian and Mediterranean cuisine. Get groceries at the nearby PCC Community Markets store on Kirkland Way or head to Kirkland Urban, a downtown shopping center just four minutes away. Anchored by the supermarket chain QFC, it offers abundant amenities, including Chainline Brewing, a café, hair salon, fitness center and pet store.
/
Coffee socials at the community garden bring neighbors together
Everest is a warm, welcoming neighborhood, according to Tori. “It’s a very tight-knit community, the vibe is one of participation, contribution and people know one another,” he says. “People have lived here for 20-plus years, but there is a lot of friendliness for those coming in. It’s easy to integrate into the neighborhood.” A vibrant community, the Everest Neighborhood Association hosts an annual picnic in Everest Park for residents. There’s also a regular neighborhood coffee social and a beloved community garden called Ohde Avenue Pea Patch, where locals can grow fruits and veggies in one of 34 plots for an annual fee. “It’s well-kept, and you have a lot of neighbors participating in it. In July, you’ll see tomatoes popping up and plants blossoming there.”
