Hunts Point, WA

Tucked onto a leafy peninsula jutting into Lake Washington, Hunts Point is one of the most tranquil and exclusive residential enclaves on the Eastside. Home to fewer than 500 residents, this quiet waterfront town offers a secluded, park-like setting just minutes from downtown Bellevue and Seattle. Winding lanes shaded by towering evergreens lead past private waterfront properties with sprawling lawns and personal docks. What began in the late nineteenth century as a summer retreat for Seattle families has grown into a peaceful, highly sought-after community centered around lakeside living.

Families moving to Hunts Point have access to the highly regarded Bellevue School District, with neighborhood students typically attending Clyde Hill Elementary, Chinook Middle School, and Bellevue High School. While the town functions as its own independent municipality, daily life is closely tied to the surrounding Eastside network. Top-tier dining, shopping, and major employment centers in Bellevue, Kirkland, and Seattle are all an easy drive away, giving residents a quiet, tucked-away home base with quick access to urban conveniences.
