Redmond, WA Neighborhood Guide

Redmond is Microsoft's home city, 15 miles east of Seattle at the north end of Lake Sammamish. Most relocation buyers with a Microsoft or Nintendo offer start their search here or in neighboring Kirkland and Bellevue. Downtown Redmond is mid-rise condos, townhomes and apartments around Redmond Town Center and the Downtown Redmond light rail station. Education Hill, just north of downtown, is the most requested single-family neighborhood for families, with 1970s to 1990s homes and Redmond High School.

Grass Lawn and Willows sit between downtown and Kirkland. Overlake, on the Bellevue border, surrounds the Microsoft campus and its light rail stations. North Redmond and English Hill have newer, larger homes on the hills toward Woodinville. Bear Creek, Union Hill and the Novelty Hill area east of town offer acreage, horse property and newer master-planned neighborhoods like Redmond Ridge and Trilogy.

Redmond is served by the Lake Washington School District, with Redmond High School and Tesla STEM High School. Marymoor Park, the Sammamish River Trail and the Redmond Central Connector are the main green spaces, and the 2 Line light rail connects Redmond to downtown Bellevue.
