The housing stock is almost entirely detached homes built in the 1970s through 1990s on generous wooded lots, with a small cluster of townhomes. The all-residential median of $2.125M places it firmly in Bellevue's upper tier, though transaction volume is extremely low โ€” typically 1-4 sales per quarter. The neighborhood sits within the Newport High School attendance zone and offers direct access to Coal Creek Park's 300-acre trail system.
