Living in City Center South
City Center South is the southern edge of downtown Bellevue — a high-rise condo district stretching from Main Street south to roughly SE 6th Street, bounded by Bellevue Way to the west and I-405 to the east. Housing is almost entirely condominiums, with virtually no single-family inventory (the last SFH sale was May 2022). The median condo sale price sits at $1.064M with $934/sqft. The neighborhood benefits from full Walk Score 95 walkability, direct light rail access, proximity to the Bellevue Collection and Old Main Street, and the 20-acre Downtown Park. Avenue Bellevue, with 365 luxury condos and the InterContinental Hotel, completed in 2024 and now anchors the district's southern corridor.
City Center South shares downtown Bellevue's Walker's Paradise Walk Score of 95. Groceries, dining, entertainment, and transit are all within a short walk. The East Main Station and Bellevue Downtown Station provide direct light rail connections. Bus service through the Bellevue Transit Center (1,150+ buses daily) adds coverage to Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, and Seattle. The Grand Connection pedestrian corridor is under development, further improving non-car mobility.
