It won’t take long to see the allure of living in Medina, whether it’s the abundance of luxury estates that draws you in or the unparalleled views of Lake Washington. Located between Bellevue and Seattle, this quaint city boasts several parks and outdoor spaces along with residents who are very engaged in the community, whether it’s during the Medina Days festival or the annual holiday giving program. Anna Riley, broker with Windermere Realty and 25-year resident of the community, says, “Medina has a tremendous amount of natural beauty around with views of Mt. Rainier, Lake Washington and more. She then adds that the preservation of the parks and nature sites around the city makes for “a super exceptional quality of life” for residents.

Living in Medina means you’ll be among highly-esteemed company, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates once owning properties in the city. Homes can cost anywhere from $3 million up to $21 million and higher for shoreline estates. You’ll find a beautiful blend of homes built by renowned architects with varying styles, giving them instant curb appeal. Much of the streetscape not along the coastline is lined with lush, towering evergreen trees that exemplify the PNW aesthetic.

Medina Elementary School has received a 10/10 rating from GreatSchools, with over 90% of students meeting English Language Arts, Math and Science standards in the 2022 school year.

There’s plenty of natural beauty around Medina if you want to get out for some fresh air. Residents can start their morning with a stroll around the ponds of the city’s namesake park: Medina Park. The park is popular amongst dog walkers for its off-leash dog area and for parents who want to bring their children for a game of catch or for a picnic. Residents are also just minutes away from relaxing on the sandy shores of Medina Beach Park, which offers a serene atmosphere with a scenic sunset view. You can work on your tennis swing on one of the courts at the Fairweather Nature Preserve or walk along the forest landscape of the nature trails.

If you’d rather spend your day on the fairways, head to Overlake Golf Club. Open since 1927, this historic club offers plenty of amenities for its members, including a lap pool, dining, social events and an 18-hole golf course that provides a challenge for players of all skill levels.

Medina’s convenient location means you’re only about 2 miles from Downtown Bellevue and less than 10 miles from Downtown Seattle. With the many lofty, upscale homes along with scenic nature views, it’s not hard to sell anyone on living in Medina.
