May Creek sets the scene with a tree-lined valley, a lively creek, and miles of paths that make everyday life feel close to nature while staying connected to the Eastside. Straddling the edge of Newcastle and Renton in King County, the area is known for the May Creek Trail’s serene boardwalks and forested stretches, plus quick links to the foothills of Cougar Mountain and afternoons on Lake Washington. Weekend routines often include picnics at Lake Boren Park, wanderings through the ferny slopes of the Coal Creek Natural Area, or shoreline sunsets down at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in the City of Renton.
Families appreciate strong public schools, with many addresses feeding into the Issaquah School District (including Liberty High) or the Renton School District, depending on location. The Newcastle Library anchors community life with classes, story times, and study spaces. Commuters enjoy fast access to I-405, while King County Metro and park-and-ride options simplify trips to Bellevue, Issaquah, and neighborhood hubs like Factoria and Kennydale. Outdoor time is easy to come by thanks to the interconnected greenways stewarded by King County Parks and the active, parks-forward ethos of the City of Newcastle.
