Meydenbauer

Meydenbauer is one of Bellevue's most prestigious waterfront neighborhoods — a compact enclave between downtown Bellevue and Meydenbauer Bay on Lake Washington. The area blends luxury single-family homes on the hillside with condos and apartments along Main Street and the bay. It is defined by proximity to the water, Old Main Street's boutique charm, and walkable access to downtown Bellevue's retail, dining, and transit. Median home prices run well above the city average, though extremely low transaction volume (1-5 sales per quarter) makes quarter-to-quarter comparisons unreliable.

Meydenbauer is one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Bellevue (Walk Score 85). Residents can walk to downtown Bellevue's restaurants, Bellevue Square, Old Main Street boutiques, and Meydenbauer Bay Park. Transit Score of 62 reflects proximity to the East Link light rail at Bellevue Downtown Station and multiple bus routes. The area offers direct waterfront access via Meydenbauer Bay Park (expanded in 2019 with a beach, playground, pedestrian pier, and bathhouse) and nearby Chism Beach Park. Downtown Park's 20 acres of lawns, a 240-foot waterfall feature, and a half-mile promenade are a short walk north.
