Newport Shores

Newport Shores is a luxury waterfront enclave on the southeast shore of Lake Washington in Bellevue, spanning roughly 170 acres with approximately 340 single-family homes. Built around three man-made canals dating to the early 1960s, about 100 homes sit directly on the water with private docks and boat access to Lake Washington. The neighborhood is exclusively single-family — no condos, no townhomes, no apartments. The all-residential median hovers between $4.9M and $6.3M depending on which homes happen to close in a given quarter, making it one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Bellevue. Volume is extremely low (1-3 sales per quarter), so price trends are noisy and unreliable.

Newport Shores is a car-dependent waterfront community oriented around lake life. Almost all errands require a car. The neighborhood is quiet, with low traffic and wide residential streets suitable for walking and biking within the community. The three canals and Lake Washington access define daily life — kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating are standard activities rather than weekend outings. The Newport Yacht Club provides a marina with 109 slips (26-50 feet), a pool, tennis courts, and social programming. The Newport Shores Community Club adds a clubhouse, community boat docks, and events.
