Clyde Hill

Quiet streets, wide views, close to it all.

Overview

Clyde Hill’s layout was shaped by its hillside location, with homes oriented for light and views across Lake Washington. Streets follow the slope, with established homes and larger lots creating visual spacing. Known for its architectural continuity and natural elevation, the neighborhood is located just minutes from downtown Bellevue and nearby arterials.

Local Lifestyle

Refined living near Bellevue’s energy.

Life in Clyde Hill moves with quiet intention. Light traffic, tree-lined streets, and a strong sense of place create a calm yet connected atmosphere just minutes from downtown Bellevue.

Daily Life, Seen From the Inside

  • Midday light glancing off rooftops, framed by tall evergreens
  • A soft hush at night, broken only by the wind or a distant conversation across the street
  • Some blocks get more sunlight, others offer more privacy — those little nuances often make the difference, and it’s something you only feel when you're here.
  • The soundscape is calm — birds, light conversation, a distant lawn mower.

Who This Place Speaks To
