Find Meydenbauer waterfront and hillside homes steps from Downtown Bellevue.

Meydenbauer is a small waterfront and hillside neighborhood at the southern edge of Downtown Bellevue, centered on Meydenbauer Bay and Lake Washington. It sits between Downtown Bellevue to the north and West Bellevue's lakefront estates to the south, combining the lifestyle of a quiet waterfront neighborhood with a 5-minute drive to Bellevue's office core. The Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club anchors the community's marina identity.

Meydenbauer homes range from approximately $1.8M to $8M+. Entry-level hillside homes with partial lake views start around $1.8M–$2.5M. Homes with direct lake views command $3M–$5M. True waterfront and Meydenbauer Bay access properties trade at $5M–$8M+ depending on frontage, dock rights, and view quality. It's one of the few Bellevue submarkets where significant price variation exists within a small geographic footprint.

Meydenbauer Bay sits approximately half a mile from Bellevue Square and the Bellevue Downtown transit center — a 5-minute drive or a brisk 10-minute walk from most addresses. For buyers who want a quiet waterfront setting without sacrificing proximity to Bellevue's employment and retail core, Meydenbauer is effectively the closest waterfront neighborhood to Downtown on the Eastside.

Meydenbauer is smaller, quieter, and more intimate than the broader West Bellevue market. West Bellevue encompasses Old Bellevue, Enatai, and multiple lakefront streets. Meydenbauer is specifically centered on the bay and yacht club — a true marina community character that feels distinct from the Old Bellevue luxury retail scene. Price points overlap but Meydenbauer's waterfront tier extends lower due to its smaller, hillside-heavy lot mix.

Meydenbauer falls within Bellevue School District, typically assigned to Enatai Elementary, Chinook Middle School, and Bellevue High School — one of the top high school assignments in the Bellevue SD system. School assignments should be verified by specific parcel address before purchase.

Yes. Meydenbauer's small inventory and high owner-retention rates mean some of the best opportunities surface before they hit MLS. RexMont monitors private seller networks, agent-to-agent outreach, and estate situations that produce off-market access in neighborhoods like Meydenbauer where active buyers consistently outnumber available listings.
