Life on the Eastside

Living in Bellevue

Bellevue sits along the eastern shore of Lake Washington, pairing a growing downtown skyline with established residential neighborhoods, abundant parks, shopping, dining, and easy access to the outdoors. The city can feel distinctly urban in its downtown core, while neighborhoods just a few miles away offer quieter, tree-lined residential settings. For renters, that variety makes it possible to choose between being close to downtown activity or settling into a more residential part of the city.

Transit & Commuting

Getting Around

Bellevue is connected throughout the region by I-405, I-90, and SR 520, providing direct routes to Seattle and communities across the Eastside. King County Metro and Sound Transit offer extensive bus service, while Sound Transit’s 2 Line light rail serves downtown Bellevue and provides rail connections across the Eastside and into Seattle.

Whether traveling by car or transit, renters have several options for getting between Bellevue, Seattle, Redmond, and surrounding communities.

Where to Look

Bellevue Neighborhoods

Bellevue is made up of a number of distinct residential areas, giving renters options ranging from apartments near downtown to single-family homes in quieter neighborhoods. Each part of the city offers a different balance of walkability, access to major commuter routes, shopping, outdoor space, and residential character.

Downtown and West Bellevue

Downtown is Bellevue’s walkable urban core, with apartments and condos close to major employers, parks, restaurants, and the Bellevue Collection’s shops and entertainment. Residents can handle many everyday errands on foot and have convenient access to public transit and major commuter routes. Just beyond downtown, West Bellevue offers a more residential atmosphere while keeping the city’s amenities close by, making it a good option for renters who want more neighborhood character without giving up easy access to the city center.

Crossroads

Crossroads is an established neighborhood in northeast Bellevue with a mix of apartments, condos, and single-family homes. Crossroads Bellevue serves as a neighborhood hub for shopping, dining, groceries, and community activities, putting many everyday conveniences close to home. The area also provides convenient access to downtown Bellevue, Redmond, and other Eastside destinations, offering renters a residential setting that remains well connected to the surrounding region.

Somerset

Somerset sits in the hills southeast of downtown Bellevue and is known for its quiet residential streets, elevated setting, and views that can stretch toward Lake Washington and the Olympic Mountains. The neighborhood is primarily residential and offers a more peaceful atmosphere than areas closer to Bellevue’s commercial core, while still keeping downtown, Factoria, and major commuter routes within easy reach. Its hillside setting and larger residential properties can also appeal to renters looking for more space and privacy.

Newport and Factoria

Newport and Factoria sit south of downtown, offering residential neighborhoods with convenient access to both I-90 and I-405. Factoria’s established retail corridor provides grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, and other everyday services nearby, while Newport has a quieter, more residential feel with access to parks and green space. Their location is especially convenient for renters who regularly travel to downtown Bellevue, Seattle, Mercer Island, Issaquah, or other parts of the Eastside.

Before You Search

What Renters Should Know

  • Bellevue can feel very different from neighborhood to neighborhood. Downtown offers the most walkability and immediate access to shopping, dining, and entertainment, while areas like Somerset and Newport Hills offer a quieter, more residential setting.
  • Healthcare is close to the city center. Overlake Medical Center is located in Bellevue and serves as a major hospital and healthcare hub for the Eastside, with additional clinics and medical services located throughout the surrounding area.
  • Parks and green space are easy to find. Even near Bellevue’s urban core, renters have access to destinations like Bellevue Downtown Park and Meydenbauer Bay Park, while larger parks and trail systems extend throughout the city.
  • Shopping and dining extend well beyond downtown. While Bellevue Square and the downtown core are major destinations, renters will find neighborhood shopping centers, restaurants, grocery stores, and everyday services throughout Bellevue.
