Education Hill

Education Hill is one of Redmond's most established family neighborhoods, known for its top-rated schools — a reputation embedded in its very name. At a median of $1,272,500 and $586/sqft, it sits in the upper-middle tier of Redmond's market, though a -3.8% YoY dip and 37 DOM suggest modest softening after years of strong appreciation. Its combination of walkable parks, community feel, and excellent schools continues to draw families from across the region.

Education Hill strikes a balance between suburban comfort and accessibility, with neighborhood parks, walking paths, and a grid of quiet residential streets. The nearby Redmond Town Center provides walkable (or short-drive) access to restaurants, retail, and the Saturday Redmond Saturday Market. The neighborhood has a strong sense of community identity built around its schools and parks, making it particularly appealing to families with school-age children.

School-Focused Family — Education Hill's name says it all — families who have done their school research and want to be in the Education Hill Elementary feeder zone make up the core buyer pool. Microsoft or Tech Campus Employee — A 10-minute commute to Microsoft's main campus, combined with Redmond's amenities and top schools, makes Education Hill a prime target for tech employees with families. Upsizing Eastside Homeowner — Buyers already living on the Eastside who are ready to move into a more established, high-quality family neighborhood often land on Education Hill as the benchmark destination.
