Old Bellevue is the historic heart of Bellevue, where Old Main Street hums with sidewalk dining, indie boutiques, and the easy pace of a neighborhood that rewards walking. Minutes from the towers of downtown yet buffered by leafy streets and lake breezes, residents spill into the 21-acre Bellevue Downtown Park for picnics and sunsets, or launch kayaks just down the hill at Meydenbauer Bay Park, a waterfront playground with a beach, viewpoints, and a sweeping promenade.
Families value the strong public schools served by the Bellevue School District, with many students attending Bellevue High School, plus nearby Enatai Elementary and Chinook Middle. Weekends bring art walks and exhibitions at the Bellevue Arts Museum, while the Old Bellevue Merchants Association keeps the calendar lively with seasonal events, tastings, and street-side music that make the neighborhood feel like a small town within the city.
Housing here ranges from newer condos perched above cafés to classic homes on view streets, offering options for first-time buyers, upsizers, and downsizers alike. Commuters appreciate quick access to I-405 and Link light rail’s growing Eastside alignment, and everyone enjoys the short stroll to everyday essentials—coffee, groceries, yoga, and dinner—with the lake always a few steps away.
