Bellevue is several markets layered together, from walkable Downtown condos beside light rail to semi-rural Bridle Trails and West Bellevue homes near Lake Washington. Use the search or the price links below to see what fits your budget in each part of the city.
Blended condo and single-family medians mislead, so I show them separately, and condos are about 32% of Bellevue sales. In my July 2026 guide, well-priced homes in strong school zones were still moving in two to three weeks while overpriced homes or those with condition issues sat four to six weeks, so realistic pricing matters.

Bellevue neighborhoods
Bellevue is not one market, and prices, home types and schools change a lot from one area to the next. Here is how I break it down:
Downtown Bellevue
A walkable high-rise core, mostly condos and high-rise apartments from the mid-$600,000s to $3 million and up. Units typically run 700 to 2,000 square feet, and Bellevue Downtown Station on the 2 Line is a short walk for most addresses.
West Bellevue
Covers Medina, Clyde Hill, and Hunts Point, almost entirely detached single-family homes on quarter-acre-plus lots. Homes range from around $2 million for an older property to $10 million or more for a rebuilt lakefront estate.
Bridle Trails
A wooded, semi-rural pocket around Bridle Trails State Park, almost entirely single-family homes on lots often half an acre or more. Most were built in the 1970s through the 1990s and run about 2,500 to 5,000 square feet.
Factoria and Somerset
Somerset is a quiet hillside of single-family homes with territorial and skyline views, commonly $1.5 million to $2.5 million-plus. Factoria is a busy retail hub with condos and townhomes, often starting in the $600,000s.
Newport Hills
An established south-end neighborhood of detached ramblers and split-levels built mostly in the 1960s through the 1980s. Homes typically run 1,600 to 2,800 square feet on lots of 8,000 to 15,000 square feet, with prices commonly $950,000 to $1.2 million.
Eastgate and Lakemont
Eastgate mixes single-family homes, townhomes and apartments along I-90 near the largest park and ride on the Eastside. Lakemont is a master-planned community on Cougar Mountain, mostly newer homes commonly $1.2 million to $2 million-plus.
Crossroads
A diverse, practical neighborhood around the Crossroads Shopping Center. Condos and townhomes commonly start in the $600,000s, while detached single-family homes typically run $900,000 to $1.3 million, mostly built in the 1970s through the 1990s.
Wilburton and BelRed
A corridor that is still being built, shifting from industrial use to transit-oriented housing around the Spring District. New construction condos and apartments commonly start in the $500,000s to $700,000s, with some higher-priced single-family pockets in Wilburton.
Getting around Bellevue
The 2 Line light rail opened across Lake Washington in March 2026, and my guides put the ride from Bellevue Downtown Station to Seattle’s Westlake Station at about 25 minutes, with trains every 8 to 10 minutes at peak. By comparison, driving I-90 in the morning rush can run 45 to 60 minutes, based on my 2026 guides. Bellevue has two stations, Bellevue Downtown and South Bellevue, and many neighborhoods, including Crossroads, Bridle Trails, and West Bellevue, are driving areas without a station of their own.
Schools
Nearly all of Bellevue is served by the Bellevue School District (BSD 405), ranked the #1 school district in Washington for 2026 by Niche. Its high schools are Bellevue, Newport, Interlake, and Sammamish. The exception is Lakemont, where the Bellevue and Issaquah school district boundary runs through the community, so some homes there are in the Issaquah School District. School zones change, so confirm a specific address with the district before you make an offer.
Questions I hear about Bellevue
What is the median price of a house in Bellevue?
Over the 12 months through August 2026, the median single-family home in Bellevue sold for about $1.8 million, and the median condo for about $681,000. Prices vary a lot by neighborhood, so I show the two home types separately.
Are Bellevue condos and townhomes much cheaper?
Yes. Condos sold for about $681,000 at the median, compared with about $1.8 million for single-family homes over the 12 months through August 2026. That gap is why single-family and condos are shown separately, since one blended number would not describe either market well.
How long does it take to sell a home in Bellevue?
In my July 2026 data, the median days on market for Bellevue was about 13 days. Well-priced homes in strong school zones were still moving in two to three weeks, while overpriced homes or homes with condition issues sat four to six weeks.
Do HOA dues matter when buying a Bellevue condo?
They matter as much as square footage. In Downtown Bellevue, buildings with strong reserve funds and recent capital improvements hold value better in a soft market than buildings that defer maintenance to keep dues low. I pull the HOA financials and recent meeting minutes first, because a low monthly due can hide a special assessment that is coming.
Which school district is Bellevue in?
Nearly all of Bellevue is in the Bellevue School District (BSD 405), ranked the #1 school district in Washington for 2026 by Niche. The exception is part of Lakemont, where the Bellevue and Issaquah district boundary runs through the community, so confirm your exact address.
What is my Bellevue home worth?
I can tell you. I will walk through the recent sales near your home and give you a real price range, not an online estimate. It is free with no obligation.
