Eastside Cities: Redmond

Redmond has evolved into a thriving center of business and community life. Home to several nationally and internationally recognized companies, including Microsoft, Nintendo, Genie Industries, and Cingular Wireless, Redmond enjoys a healthy economic base and attracts workers from all around the Greater Seattle area. Located on the north end of Lake Sammamish, about 15 miles east of Seattle, many of the area's quiet neighborhoods sit on forested hills enjoying lake and mountain views. Housing options are diverse and new construction is common. Schools fall within the Lake Washington School District, featuring strong academics and athletics.

Redmond Town Center Mall offers a variety of shopping, dining, entertainment, and lodging opportunities. The neighborhood southwest of downtown (including Overlake where Microsoft is located, and the Willows Road high-tech corridor) hosts increasing commercial development.

Redmond supports 23 developed parks, covering 1,050 acres and containing over 15 miles of recreational trails. These trails, the Velodrome at Marymoor Park, and the annual Derby Days draw bicyclists from all over, earning Redmond the title, "Bicycle Capital of the Northwest." Cultural attractions include the Redwood Theatre, Eastside Symphony and SecondStory Repertory Theatre, as well as a summer concert and winter performing arts series.

Median Sold Prices 2007: Homes $622,000; Condos $325,990
