Lake Sammamish waterfront and view homes just south of downtown Redmond. Idylwood Park beach access and Lake Washington SD boundary.
Union Hill / Novelty Hill
联合山
Newer construction on half-acre-plus lots with rural feel, yet 10 minutes to Microsoft. Popular with executive relocations.
Downtown Redmond / Overlake

Newer subdivisions tucked into forested lots east of downtown. Feeds into the top-ranked Lake Washington School District.
Schools · 学区
School assignment drives value here.
Boundary lines matter more than city lines. Two homes on the same street can feed different schools, and that difference is priced into the market. We map every offer to the exact school assignment before you write.

Redmond Ridge and Education Hill offer newer construction per square foot below comparable Bellevue addresses.

Frequently asked · 常见问题
Redmond Q&A.
Is Redmond a better value than Bellevue?+
Yes for family buyers — you get comparable or better Lake Washington SD schools, similar commute to Microsoft/Google/Meta Eastside campuses, and 15–25% lower price per square foot than downtown Bellevue. The trade-off is a less urban feel.
How is the commute to Microsoft?+
Most Redmond neighborhoods are 5–15 minutes from Microsoft's Redmond campus. The new East Link (2 Line) light rail extension now connects downtown Redmond and Overlake directly to Bellevue and Seattle without freeway driving.
What is the Lake Washington School District like?+
LWSD is consistently one of the top-ranked districts in Washington State. Redmond, Eastlake, and Redmond Ridge feeder schools regularly score 9–10/10 on GreatSchools and send high percentages of graduates to top-tier universities.
Are there many new construction options in Redmond?+
Yes — Redmond has more active new construction than any other Eastside city. Downtown Redmond condos, Overlake townhomes, and larger single-family builds on Novelty Hill, Redmond Ridge, and Bear Creek are all active markets.
How does Redmond compare to Sammamish or Kirkland?+
Sammamish is quieter and more suburban with slightly newer housing stock; Kirkland offers Lake Washington waterfront and a livelier downtown. Redmond sits in the middle — more tech-adjacent than either, with a broader range of price points and stronger transit access.
