Living in Northwest Village
Northwest Village is a compact, condo-dominated enclave in northwest Bellevue, wedged between downtown Bellevue and the waterfront communities of Clyde Hill and Medina. The neighborhood is almost entirely high-density residential โ condos and townhomes built from the late 1990s through the 2010s โ with no meaningful single-family inventory. Median sale price sits around $1M (Q4 2025), down 16.6% YoY due to low volume and mix shifts. Residents get Bellevue School District access, walkable proximity to downtown Bellevue's restaurants and retail, and quick freeway connections via I-405 and SR-520.
Northwest Village is the 2nd most walkable neighborhood in Bellevue (Walk Score 65). Downtown Bellevue's restaurants, Bellevue Square, Lincoln Square, and Bellevue Collection are within a 10-15 minute walk. Meydenbauer Bay Park (2.5-acre beach, kayaking, fishing pier, sunset views) is a short walk north. Bus routes serve the area along Bellevue Way and NE 8th Street. East Link light rail's Downtown Bellevue Station is approximately a 10-minute walk south.
