Quiet suburb just north of Bellevue

Located 11 miles north of Bellevue, North Redmond defines suburban living with large, well-maintained homes along quiet tree-lined streets. Jeff Churchill, long range planning manager at the City of Redmond, says the area is quiet since it’s mostly residential, with some parks throughout. “There are great schools, so it attracts families,” he says. “It’s pretty convenient for those that work in tech, as large tech employers are nearby.” Besides the suburban lifestyle, amenities like restaurants, shopping and events are only 3 miles south in Downtown Redmond.

Large single-family homes in various styles

North Redmond is a bedroom community comprised of mostly single-family homes. These are typically larger than 2,500 square feet and built in the 21st century. The neighborhood is divided into several subdivisions; some are located in gated communities, while others are publicly accessible. The Woodlands is one of the subdivisions centrally located, featuring lots of pocket parks with playgrounds and walkable streets. Housing styles vary from Traditional, Craftsman and Contemporary styles. Traditional homes can start around $1 million up to $2.6 million. Craftsman is the more popular style, with prices starting at $1.7 million and reaching $3.5 million for a newer build. Contemporaries can begin at 1.7 million and peak at $3.1 million. North Redmond is a competitive market, with homes selling after 15 days, which is nearly a month faster than the national average of 43 days.

Top education for North Redmond students

Neighborhood students can attend schools in the Lake Washington School District, which is rated A-plus by Niche and ranked third best in the state. The neighborhood has several elementary schools, but most are zoned to attend Clara Barton Elementary. The A-rated school teaches kindergarten through fifth-grade students. Redmond Middle also earned an A from Niche. Students may graduate from Redmond High, an A-plus school that offers visual arts and music courses through the DigiPen Institute of Technology.

60 Acres Park, multi-use trails and golf for outdoor recreation

Despite its name, 60 Acres Park to the west stretches across 94 acres. “Sixty Acres is a large soccer complex,” Churchill says. “It gets very busy when there are soccer games going on.” Right next to Sixty Acres Park is the Sammamish River Trail, a 10-mile hiking and biking trail with scenic views of parks and farms. “That Sammamish River trail is popular year-round,” Churchill says. “You see people running, jogging, riding their strollers all the time.” Farrel-McWhirter Park is a 68-acre park where visitors enjoy an animal farm, covered picnic shelters, natural spaces and multi-use trails connecting to the Puget Power/City of Redmond Trail. Juel Park is well used for its disc golf course and community garden. Golfers can tee up at the 18 or nine-hole courses at the Willows Run Golf Complex.

Head to Downtown Redmond for dining and shopping

Churchill says that for dining out, most people head to Downtown Redmond. “It has the most options from counter service and sit-down places,” he says. Doppio Café and Creperie serves coffee and European-style crepes in a modern, trendy aesthetic. Tropea Ristorante Italiano embodies a rustic Italian atmosphere, offering handmade pasta and other traditional dishes. Flatstick Pub is a casual spot hosting weekly activities like bingo and trivia. Downtown has many home essentials stores such as Target, Home Depot and Kohl’s. Groceries can be bought from PCC Community Markets right in the neighborhood.

Carnival Fun at Derby Days

Derby Days is one of Redmond’s signature events held in July. Thousands take the streets of downtown for carnival rides, games, and craft and food vendors. The city’s Redmond Lights event brightens the area for the holidays. “That’s a month-long celebration,” Churchill says. “There’s a luminary walk and light installations. It’s well attended and lots of fun.”

Light Rail convenience for Redmond riders

North Redmond residents have a couple of options for getting around. Using Highway 520, commuters are less than 20 miles from Seattle and 12 miles from Bellevue. Eventually, Redmond will have four light rail stops. In April 2024, the Sound Transit opened the 2 Line light rail, which is an eight-stop ride connecting Redmond and Bellevue. Redmond stops include Overlake Village and the Redmond Technology Center. Extension lines are planned to launch in 2025, which will include stops in Downtown Redmond and Marymoor Village.
