Redmond neighborhoods and what we check

Education Hill

North of downtown, between Redmond-Woodinville Road and Avondale Road. The city calls it one of Redmond's oldest areas, mostly built out under big trees. One lot looks over the Bear Creek Valley, the next sees only firs, so views are rated in person.

Overlake

Redmond south of NE 60th Street, home to Microsoft's headquarters since 1986, where older houses sit near newer townhomes and condos. Below about NE 40th Street the Bellevue School District takes over, so we confirm the district first.

Downtown Redmond

The city's main growth center, with the Sammamish River on its west edge and a station since 2025. New condo buildings stand a few blocks from 1960s to 1980s houses, and the two never share a comp set.

Grass Lawn

West Redmond between Redmond Way and NE 60th Street. The city plan puts mostly 1960s houses in the northwest, 1960s and 1970s cul de sacs in the southeast and condos across half the northeast, so build era steers the comps.

Bear Creek

East of downtown along Avondale Road. Condos line the west hillside, houses fill the middle, and Perrigo Park and the Keller Farm keep the rest open. Salmon run in Bear and Evans Creeks; we check lots for stream buffers.

Idylwood

The west shore of Lake Sammamish around Idylwood Park. Lakefront lots rarely sell; most homes sit on the hill above. Frontage, view and beach access are priced separately, each from its own sales.

More Redmond neighborhoods and nearby county areas

  • Marymoor Village A city designated growth center around the Marymoor Village station, opened in 2025, beside King County's Marymoor Park.
  • Mondavio Recorded as the Redmond 74 development, it forms the western boundary of Education Hill along Redmond-Woodinville Road.
  • North Redmond North of Education Hill along Avondale Road and NE 124th Street, where lots grow larger and tree cover heavier the farther out a home sits.
  • Sammamish Valley The farm valley running north toward Woodinville, where a valley floor parcel and a hillside lot above it are valued as different properties.
  • Southeast Redmond Stretches from downtown toward Marymoor Park and holds the city's manufacturing park overlay, so the zoning on and next to a lot is read before comparing.
  • Willows and Rose Hill The northwest corridor along Willows Road, a mix of business parks and 1980s and 1990s houses with trail links into Kirkland.
  • English Hill (unincorporated) Outside city limits on Redmond's north side and assigned to the Northshore School District, unlike nearly all of the city.
  • Redmond Ridge (unincorporated) East of city limits in the Union Hill-Novelty Hill census area, with Redmond mailing addresses and Lake Washington schools.
  • Union Hill (unincorporated) Part of the same county census area east of the city, where some addresses fall in the Riverview or Snoqualmie Valley school districts.

What moves home values in Redmond?

Jurisdiction first. Redmond mailing addresses reach past city limits into Redmond Ridge and English Hill, so we confirm the city line and school district before choosing comps. Then view, frontage, creek buffers and house versus condo. Four light rail stations opened in 2024 and 2025 (Wikipedia, 2 Line), and nearby sales are few, so we read each one before deciding whether a short walk shows in price.

You get a clean report on the date we give, with updates along the way. Gerry has trained dozens of appraisers over three decades, so each report is checked the way a trainer checks a student's: does every comp sit on the same side of the city line and school boundary as your home?

Redmond appraisal questions

What does a Redmond appraisal cost, and how long?
We quote each Redmond job after we see the home and scope. Reports typically take 7 to 10 days, delivered on the date we set. Call (425) 967-3498 or use the form above.
Can I hire an appraiser myself for a Redmond home?
Yes, for estates, divorces, tax appeals, relocation or a price check before listing. If the appraisal is for a loan, your lender orders it. A person on our team checks the MLS history, county records and property data, then writes back directly.
How do you appraise a Lake Sammamish home in Idylwood?
First we confirm whether the lot owns shoreline or only sees the lake. Frontage homes are compared with Lake Sammamish frontage sales, view homes with view homes.
Do you appraise Redmond condos and townhomes?
Yes. Our team is very experienced with townhomes, condos and every attached dwelling type, including newer buildings near the Overlake and downtown stations. HOA budgets and reserves are read for each unit.
Which school district is a Redmond home in?
Mostly Lake Washington. Homes south of about NE 40th Street are in the Bellevue School District, and unincorporated English Hill is in Northshore. We check by address.
