South Rose Hill
Condos and single-family homes
Towering evergreen trees sit at the intersection of many streets and between homes, adding a woodland ambiance to a suburban community. “It’s a very central location for the east side and about 25 to 30% cheaper than Bellevue,” Ferrelli says. Prices range from $478,000 to $3.2 million. “A normal, 3,200-square-foot house is going to run you about $2.4 million, and you can get a new, small condo for around $1 million,” Ferrelli says. Four-bedroom homes with stone accents and second-story balconies in Bradford Place at Bridle Trails might cost close to $1.9 million, while a five-bedroom house with Craftsman-style architecture in the Preserve could cost up to $2.4 million. For buyers looking for lower prices and smaller units, Villa Sonoma and Willow Run offer two-bedroom condos under $1 million closer to the North Rose Hill and Everest communities. Most homes have garages; however, sidewalks are limited and streets are narrow.

Schools receive high marks
Students attend all A-rated schools within the Lake Washington School District, according to Niche. Rose Hill Elementary offers accelerated programs. Students transition to Rose Hill Middle School. Lake Washington High offers Advanced Placement courses for subjects like art and design, human geography and physics.

So much to do for outdoor enthusiasts
Both Rose Hill Meadows and South Rose Hill parks are about a mile’s drive via local roads and offer play areas, walking trails and picnic tables. Marina Park, a 3-mile drive on local roads, features a sandy beach, boat launch, public art and a beautiful open-air pavilion as well as summer concerts. The park is also home to the Plaza of Champions, an installation that recognizes those residents in the greater Kirkland area who have not only reached the pinnacle of achievement in their chosen field but have also contributed in a significant way to the community. For indoor activities, the Kirkland Library has an extensive collection of books and magazines and offers specialized programs to kids, teens, adults and seniors. Residents can also sign up for online book clubs.

Dine nearby or head downtown
To stock up the pantry, residents drive a mile on surface streets to Safeway or Costco. Though Starbucks is the only chain in the neighborhood, several local restaurants and bars are along Northeast 85th Street, including Taco Time, Nasai Teriyaki, Tres Hermanos and Pogacha’s Pub 85. Ferrelli recommends leaving the neighborhood when looking for after-dinner entertainment. “You go to downtown Kirkland for nightlife, only a mile and a half away,” Ferrelli says. Easily accessible by back roads or bus, Flat Sticks Pub offers patrons mini golf, trivia night, and Bingo, and Bottle and Bull serves Hemingway-themed drinks and cuisine.
/
Drive or take the bus
There are several bus stops in the area that are within walking distance. Commuters who drive can take one of two ramps to Interstate 405 and drive 13 miles to Seattle. For those traveling out of town, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is a 21-mile drive.

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.

This is the one you’ve been waiting for. The kind of home that, for some reason, feels good right when you walk in. Maybe it’s the light in the newly remodeled kitchen, or the way the jetted tub in the primary suite calls your name at the end of the day. Maybe it’s the low-maintenance turf yard that says, “Have a seat, my friend - no mowing for you today.” Or the mature landscaping that makes it
