Surrey Downs

Surrey Downs is one of Bellevue's most established single-family neighborhoods — a quiet, tree-lined enclave directly south of downtown with walk-to-town convenience and some of the Eastside's strongest schools. Housing stock is almost entirely detached homes built in the 1950s through 1970s on generous lots, with a growing number of teardown-rebuilds pushing toward modern luxury. The East Main light rail station sits at the neighborhood's northern edge, putting downtown Bellevue one stop away and Seattle about 25 minutes by train. The 10.5-acre Surrey Downs Park, rebuilt in 2019, anchors the community with a playground, sport court, Great Lawn, and views of Mount Rainier.

Surrey Downs is Somewhat Walkable (Walk Score 63) — unusually high for a single-family Eastside neighborhood given its proximity to downtown Bellevue. Transit Score of 48 with the East Main light rail station at the neighborhood's northern edge. Bike Score 40 (Bikeable) with the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail nearby. Surrey Downs Park (10.5 acres) was rebuilt in 2019 and features a Great Lawn, playground, sport court, picnic shelters, and Mount Rainier views. Mercer Slough Nature Park (320 acres) is a short walk south — the largest remaining wetland on Lake Washington with 7 miles of trails and a blueberry farm.
