Living in Meydenbauer Point

Meydenbauer Point sits at the intersection of Bellevue's most desirable attributes: waterfront access, proximity to the downtown urban core, and the privacy of a small, quiet residential enclave. Meydenbauer Bay is one of Lake Washington's most sheltered natural coves — a protected inlet that has historically served as a boatyard and marina, and today is the site of Meydenbauer Bay Park, a 10-acre waterfront park with a sandy beach, boat launch, and kayak rentals accessible to the public. The residential properties surrounding the bay range from established estates on large lots to sleeker contemporary homes that maximize the water and skyline views.

The extraordinary appeal of Meydenbauer Point is the combination of its natural setting and its urban convenience. Downtown Bellevue — with its Bellevue Square, fine dining, and light rail — is a short walk or bike ride uphill. Few addresses in the Eastside market offer a comparable combination of lakefront proximity, walkability to a major urban center, and the sense of residential seclusion that the bay's geography naturally provides. Properties here command top-of-market pricing for west Bellevue and rarely turn over — buyers tend to stay for decades.
