Real Estate Spotlight: Bellevue

Bellevue, Washington’s 5th largest city, is located on the east side of Lake Washington. In addition Bellevue is just a few miles from Downtown Seattle and serves as the hub of the Eastside. Bellevue is attractive to homebuyers for its generously sized lots on quiet streets.  Furthermore, the area has a reputation for great schools and for its rapidly growing downtown commercial core. Many Bellevue homes here feature views of Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains.

History

Bellevue began as a farming and milling community, first settled by William Meydenbauer and Aaron Mercer in 1869. Bellevue means “beautiful view” in French, and the area’s first postmaster found it a fitting name for an area with sweeping views of Lake Washington and the Cascades. It remained a rural area until the completion of the I-90 floating bridge in 1940, and began its development as a business hub after the Evergreen Point floating bridge provided another connection in 1963.

Points of Interest

Bellevue offers all the amenities of city life with a suburban atmosphere. A buzzing retail core features high-end shopping destinations at Bellevue Square, The Bravern, and Lincoln Center, along with numerous fine dining options. The 21-acre Downtown Bellevue Park provides an oasis amidst the city’s office towers, and Bellevue’s location on the Eastside makes it a quick drive to hiking trails, lakes, and other outdoor recreational activities.
