Bellevue Best Views

Lake Washington, the Olympics, Mount Rainier and the Seattle skyline: Bellevue's view homes are among the most coveted on the Eastside.

View property in Bellevue is defined by elevation and orientation. West-facing slopes in Somerset, Cougar Mountain and Lakemont capture sunset light over Lake Washington and the Olympics, while waterfront and near-waterfront homes in Enatai, Beaux Arts, Meydenbauer and Clyde Hill trade elevation for immediacy at the water's edge.

Not every view is equal, and not every view is protected. Tree covenants, neighboring build rights and future development all affect what you will actually be looking at in ten years. Before you write an offer on a view home, it is worth understanding exactly what supports that outlook and what could change it.

If a Bellevue view home is on your list, I can help you evaluate the specific outlook, the premium the market is placing on it, and the long-term outlook for the property.
