Kennydale (Renton)
$1.2M-$3M+A quiet, established hillside-and-waterfront neighborhood on the south end of Lake Washington with large lots and lake views.
The Seahawks practice at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center on the south shore of Lake Washington in Renton, steps from Gene Coulon Park and the Southport waterfront. This guide radiates from that facility: the closest privacy and waterfront living sit right at Southport and Kennydale, while Bellevue and the Eastside provide the destination dining, exotic auto, and recovery resources a pro athlete expects, all inside a 20-minute drive. Home games are 15-20 minutes north at Lumen Field.

A prestigious hillside Bellevue neighborhood of large custom homes with sweeping views of Seattle, Lake Washington, and the Olympics.
An island community in the middle of Lake Washington with elite schools, lake access, and a private, insulated feel.
The neighborhoods above sit inside a twenty-minute drive of Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC). But many athletes prioritize lifestyle, privacy, and prestige over commute — these are the areas across Seattle where athletes most often buy and rent, even though they’re a longer drive from the facility.
A tiny gated-feeling waterfront city across Lake Washington from Seattle, home to Bill Gates and a roster of tech billionaires, with the priciest ZIP (98039) in Washington at roughly a $4.4M median. Street-to-water estates, deep setbacks, and a private police force make it the metro's most rarefied address.
Two minuscule incorporated points jutting into Lake Washington where nearly every lot is street-to-water, commanding some of the most coveted shoreline in the region. Quiet, hyper-low-density, and walled off by hedges and private docks.
An entire island in the middle of Lake Washington with its own school district, private beaches, and panoramic skyline-and-mountain views; ZIP 98040 sits among the state's most expensive. A mix of modern architectural showpieces and gated waterfront estates.
Clyde Hill's large hilltop lots and West Bellevue's Lake Washington shoreline form the metro's marquee athlete corridor — Russell Wilson and Ciara's 11,000-sq-ft Bellevue estate (sold for ~$31M) sat here. Sweeping views of downtown, the lake, and the Olympics, with new-build smart mansions throughout.
