What to know about Bellevue
Getting around
I-405, I-90, and SR 520 all pass through. The 2 Line light rail now runs across the Eastside, with downtown Bellevue stations connecting to Redmond.
Housing stock
Everything from 1950s ramblers in Lake Hills to new towers downtown. Teardown and rebuild activity has reshaped whole blocks west of I-405.
Who Bellevue suits
Best for buyers prioritizing schools and Eastside employment who can absorb the price. Buyers looking for value per square foot will do better in Renton or Bothell.

The Bellevue market right now
Bellevue has a typical home value of $1,470,000. That runs about 76% above the $834,000 median across the King County cities we serve. Against all 50 cities we cover, it sits roughly 105% above the $715,500 midpoint.
Values are down 3.9% year over year, in line with the broader Puget Sound softening. That is a modest correction rather than a slide, so well-prepared listings still move. Buyers should not expect distressed pricing, but there is more room to ask than there was.
Our read on Bellevue
Bellevue is the most expensive large market we serve and the one most sensitive to tech hiring. Values have come off their peak, which has brought some negotiating room back to buyers who were shut out entirely two years ago. School reputation holds value here more reliably than any single amenity.
