Tech workers and outdoor enthusiasts are drawn to Viewpoint

If your job doesn’t draw you to the Viewpoint neighborhood at the southernmost end of Redmond City, the fantastic views and outdoor activities will. Located right outside the epicenter of global technology, with nationally known companies such as Microsoft and Nintendo within reach, sits beautiful Viewpoint. “People come for the parks, the leisure, their profession and the views,” says Berkeley Lipetz, broker and owner of the Berkeley Lipetz Group. Even with Microsoft in your backyard, the picturesque beaches of Lake Sammamish and the Cascade Mountains are front and center.
