A lakefront suburb with access to Seattle and Redmond

The suburb of Enatai offers upscale housing, fine dining options, big-box retail and public greenspaces along Lake Washington. “Enatai has far more waterfront access and park space per capita than nearby neighborhoods like Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point and Medina,” says Realtor Kelly Sublett, a lifelong Enatai resident who sells houses in the area for Windermere Real Estate. She has sold homes in the neighborhood since 1990. Enatai’s highly rated public schools are also a significant draw for homebuyers with families or those preparing to start families. Many residents commute to Downtown Seattle or Redmond, which each have thriving tech industries. Seattle also offers entertainment options, like professional sports teams. “There is very little turnover because the area is so sought-after, and once people buy a home in Enatai, they are pretty much here to stay,” Sublett says.

Upscale single-family homes

“The neighborhood is outperforming the local market, and the average house is on the market less than 30 days,” Sublett says. Homebuyers can purchase a three-bedroom 1950s wood-exterior ranch-style house for between $1.5 million and $2 million. Four-to-six-bedroom New Traditional-style houses from the early-2000s house sell for between $2.4 million and $6 million. Lakefront mid-century modern-style and New Traditional-style mansions built within the last two decades are valued between $4.5 million and $21 million. Many of the houses have piers with boats. “The neighborhood has slightly lower price points than nearby areas like Medina and Clyde Hill," says Broker Haleh Clapp, who does business in the neighborhood with Compass Real Estate.

Getting around Bellevue and Seattle

People can catch the train at South Bellevue station to Downtown Bellevue, Mercer Island and Seattle. “Most of the homebuyers don’t really use the light rail. That is not a draw," Clapp says. The station is on the neighborhood's eastern border. Public bus stops are on Southeast 34th Street, 106th Avenue Southeast, 104th Avenue Southeast and Bellevue Way Southeast. Downtown Bellevue is 2 miles north via 104th Avenue Southeast. Downtown Seattle is 9 miles west of Enatai via Interstate 90. Companies like Amazon, Apple and Microsoft are located there.
