Welcome to Bellevue
Fittingly, its name is French for “the view,” which it certainly delivers.
Just east of the city, across Lake Washington, lies another growing urban skyline—Bellevue. People who live on the East Side tend to stick to that part of town; unless there’s a home game at CenturyLink or Huskie Stadium, that is. Bellevue has spared no expense to make it easy to call this place home.
Both USA Today and CNN Money ranked Bellevue among their top places the live and launch a business in the country—a nod that Bellevue lives up to on all fronts. A conscious dedication to work/life balance seems to permeate everything you find here.
What to Expect
Bellevue is a very tidy town, where everything has its place and service always comes with a smile.
Pristine parks, premier shopping, impeccable workspaces, and Instagram-worthy dining surrounds you. Bellevue Way showcases it all, starting with Lincoln Square—one of the largest retail centers in the region. Spread out and savor it at your own pace.
The Lifestyle
Where you bring your A-game to everything you do. It’s family and fashion-forward, 24/7.
Tech companies thrive in Bellevue, so it stands to reason that many who live here embrace this meticulous lifestyle. There are plenty of wide-open outdoor spaces to play for all ages—Bellevue offers the elbow room Downtown Seattle doesn’t. And the newly expanded 520 Bridge (the largest floating bridge in the world) makes getting over to Seattle and University Village a breeze.
Unexpected Appeal
Refined suburban living is the very definition of “Bloomberg.”
Outdoor lifestyle takes many forms—Cougar Mt. trails, lakefront promenades, boating, fishing, swimming; all right in your own backyard.
The Market
Tons of apartment complexes, single-family options, and larger lots.
A fast-growing city tucked in the hills around Lake Washington, Bellevue features the perfect retreats for those who fancy a little elbow room with their peace and quiet. Luxury takes on many forms here.
