About Somerset
Somerset is Bellevue's elevated, established luxury neighborhood — a hillside community on the southern plateau with panoramic views of Mt. Rainier, Lake Washington, and on clear days, the Olympic Mountains. Most homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s and have been substantially updated.
The neighborhood has a quiet, suburban feel that belies its proximity to both Bellevue and Renton. Large lots, mature landscaping, and a well-maintained HOA keep Somerset's streets immaculate. It's particularly popular with families drawn to Newport High School, consistently rated among Bellevue's top secondary schools.
Inventory in Somerset turns slowly — owners tend to stay for decades. When properties do come to market, they move quickly among buyers who know the neighborhood's reputation for quality and views.
