Bellevue
Moving to Bellevue?
Welcome to Bellevue—Seattle’s sophisticated neighbor with a skyline of ambition and a backyard of evergreens. Tucked between Lake Washington and Lake Sammamish, Bellevue blends the convenience of city living with the quiet calm of the Pacific Northwest. Think walkable downtown core, world-class dining, luxe shopping at The Bravern, and tech-fueled career opportunities (hello, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta campuses)—all while being minutes from hiking trails, floating bridges, and lakeside escapes.
Neighborhoods range from ultra-modern condos in Downtown Bellevue to serene, tree-lined streets in Bridle Trails, Lakemont, and Newport Hills. Families are drawn to Bellevue’s nationally ranked public schools and safety, while professionals love the commute-friendly location, fast-growing economy, and upscale lifestyle.
Living in Bellevue means saying yes to weekend farmers markets, coffee with a view, highly rated restaurants, and access to some of the region’s best parks, trails, and waterfronts—all without sacrificing convenience, culture, or quality of life.
