Featured Communities and Neighborhoods

Location, location, location is widely known as the single most important factor in establishing the value of a house. Bathrooms can be remodeled, new kitchen cabinets can be installed, old floors can be replaced, but for things like mountain views, proximity to work, waterfront access, green belts, and top-rated school districts, these are features that money can't buy. Here are Carmen's picks for the best communities and neighborhoods in the Seattle metropolitan area.

  • Bellevue

    Top-rated schools. Convenient access to I-90 and 405. Vibrant and burgeoning city. Excellent lake views in selected areas. Downtown Bellevue offers a wide selection of entertainment.

  • Issaquah & Klahanie

    Quiet suburban neighborhood with quick access to I-90. New development with rapid growth. Great school district. Gorgeous mountain views in selected areas.

  • Sammamish

    Great suburban community with a solid school district. Excellent for raising families.

  • Mercer Island

    Located right between Seattle and Bellevue. Need I say more? Did I mention its location?

  • Kirkland

    Beautiful lake views in selected areas. Easy access to 405. Great parks and amenities within walking distance. There is no better way to spend a sunny, summer afternoon than to enjoy it at one of the waterfront parks.
