REDMOND, WA HOMES FOR SALE & REAL ESTATE


Beginning Our Life in Redmond


Having relocated to the US years ago, our family’s very first home here was right here in Redmond. Back when Manesh was working at Microsoft, we came to know the area inside and out—from navigating the easy commute connector down to Bellevue and catching evening concerts at Marymoor Park, to raising our sons through the Lake Washington School District (LWSD). Today, the Sound Transit 2 Line makes that Redmond–Bellevue connection even easier, linking Downtown Redmond and Marymoor Village with Redmond Technology, Bellevue Downtown, and South Bellevue. Because we’ve lived the lifestyle, navigated the local school system firsthand, and watched this tech hub evolve, we don’t just sell homes here, we guide you with authentic, lived experience.



Redmond Neighborhoods and ZIP codes

98052 – Central Redmond/Overlake, tech hub near Microsoft, mix of apartments, townhomes, and suburban homes with walkable amenities.
98073 – Education Hill and north Redmond, established neighborhoods with easy access to downtown and highways.
98053 – East Redmond/Avalon area near Sammamish, rural-suburban feel with larger lots, trails, and proximity to Lake Sammamish.

Redmond, WA Real Estate FAQs:


What is the commute like from Redmond to Seattle or Bellevue?

Redmond is exceptionally well-connected for commuters. Located about 15 miles northeast of Seattle and just 8 miles northeast of Bellevue, residents enjoy convenient access via regional highways, bus connectors, and Sound Transit’s 2 Line light rail. The 2 Line connects Downtown Redmond and Redmond Technology directly to Bellevue, with service continuing across Lake Washington to Seattle. That makes it easy to reach Downtown Bellevue, Pioneer Square, Capitol Hill, and the University District without dealing with bridge traffic. Many residents also appreciate Redmond’s proximity to major employers, including Microsoft’s Redmond campus, with the Redmond Technology light rail station offering a particularly convenient option for Eastside and Seattle commutes.


Why is Redmond such a popular place to live on the Eastside?

Redmond combines a walkable downtown with extensive parks, trails, and outdoor recreation. Residents also benefit from convenient transit connections, proximity to major employment centers, and a wide range of local dining and shopping options. Residents enjoy extensive outdoor amenities like Marymoor Park on Lake Sammamish. Redmond is within the Lake Washington and Northshore school districts.


How competitive is the Redmond housing market?

Redmond’s housing market is generally competitive due to its proximity to major employment centers, access to public transit and light rail, and limited housing supply near downtown. Market conditions vary by property type, price range, and location. As of October 2026, rising inventory has given buyers more negotiating flexibility than in the prior year. Local representation can be valuable for pricing, offer strategy, inspections, and closing.


How are the schools in Redmond?

Most of Redmond is served by the Lake Washington School District, with parts of north Redmond (98053) falling in the Northshore School District, so confirm assignment by property address. Redmond High School offers a full slate of Advanced Placement courses, and the district also runs application-based choice schools, including Tesla STEM High School, which residents across the district can apply to. You can check current ratings for any school on GreatSchools.org, and since boundaries change, verify assignment for a specific address directly with the district.

How do Downtown Redmond, Education Hill, Overlake and Redmond Ridge differ?

Honestly, they feel like four different towns inside one city, so it's worth walking each one before you decide. Downtown Redmond is the most urban. Condos, townhomes and newer apartments sit around Redmond Town Center, with restaurants, coffee shops and the two-acre Downtown Park. The 2 Line ends here at Downtown Redmond Station. Education Hill, just north of downtown, is mostly single-family homes on tree-lined streets. The City says the name comes from its schools, and Hartman Park sits at its heart. Overlake is west Redmond on the Bellevue line, around the Microsoft campus. It has two 2 Line stations, Redmond Technology and Overlake Village, and a mix of condos, townhomes and single-family streets. Redmond Ridge is the master-planned community out east on Union Hill-Novelty Hill, with single-family homes, townhomes and condos and 14-plus community parks and trails. The trade-off is distance from downtown Redmond and SR 520. We bought our first American home in Redmond when we moved from the UK for Manesh's job at Microsoft, so this choice is personal for us. Tell us what your normal week looks like and we'll tell you which streets to see first.

Can I live in Redmond without a car, and which areas are easiest for everyday errands and transit?

Yes, if you pick the right pocket. Downtown Redmond and Overlake are the two areas where it works best. Downtown Redmond puts restaurants and Redmond Town Center within walking distance, and Downtown Redmond Station is the end of the 2 Line, with the RapidRide B Line and local buses meeting it. Overlake has two stations, Redmond Technology and Overlake Village. The train now runs straight through to Bellevue and downtown Seattle, every 8 to 15 minutes depending on the time of day (Sound Transit, January 2026). On a bike, the paved Sammamish River Trail runs 10 miles from Marymoor Park through Woodinville to Bothell, where it joins the Burke-Gilman Trail into Seattle. The honest caveat: Redmond Ridge is a drive from the nearest station, so for the Ridge, plan on having a car.

Should I rent first or buy when relocating to Redmond?

There's no wrong answer, only the wrong order. If you already know the area and your plans are settled, buying sooner usually makes sense. If Redmond is brand new to you, renting for a while can be money well spent while you learn the neighborhoods. The numbers, dated: the average rent in Redmond is $3,113 a month across all home types (Zillow, updated October 17, 2026), so a year of renting costs roughly $37,000. The median home sold for about $1.2 million in the three months to September 2026, down 8.1 percent on the year before (Redfin). We relocated from the UK ourselves and bought our first American home right here in Redmond, so we know the itch to buy fast, and the value of learning an area first. Our honest take: rent first if you're genuinely undecided on neighborhood or work, not just to wait for prices. Tell us your timeline and budget and we'll run the numbers both ways. Just honest advice, no pressure.

REDMOND, WA CLIENT - SELLER REVIEW

"After living in Redmond Washington for 20 years, the time had come to downsize (becoming empty nesters and retiring) and we hired Manesh and Tania Lakhani to help us sell our house. Saying they were amazing is a HUGE understatement.

 

They were ALWAYS available, no matter what time, what day of the week (including weekends) they were both always there to answer our questions. Every question was explained with fantastic clarity and professionalism. They appraised our house providing us with numerous market comparisons and advised us on how to get top dollar (what to fix, where to paint, where to invest our time etc.) They recommended an excellent inspector, that also gave us some great guidance on small issues to fix. They selected a wonderful company to stage our house resulting in us achieving more than asking price.

 

As part of the closing process, we encountered a big issue. Our new septic system (that we had just installed) was not properly recorded with the city. We had already moved to Colorado, and Manesh and Tania, found a new septic architect who created the necessary diagrams to properly record the septic installation, enabling us to close a week early.

 

We can't recommend them enough, fantastic Realtors, incredibly knowledgeable and super easy to work with." 

 

Tony Seeley, Redmond Home Seller

REDMOND, WA CLIENT - BUYER REVIEW

"We were casually testing waters to understand what is required to purchase a home in the Redmond area. Being first time buyers, we were tentative and unsure in distinguishing reality from hype in this area. From our first meeting, Manesh earned our trust. He was honest, realistic and knowledgeable. Conversations with him have propelled us from casual tours to actual purchase in 3 months. Once we zeroed in on the home, Manesh helped us with the rest of the bidding, negotiation with the seller agent and paperwork. He was thorough following up with the multiple intermediaries ensuring that the deal goes thru timely and smooth. We were happy we worked with Manesh in purchasing our house. If we are back in the real estate market again, we will surely rely on Manesh again."
