Where athletes actually live · beyond the 20-minute zone

The neighborhoods above sit inside a twenty-minute drive of BECU Storm Center for Basketball Performance. 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.

Medina

$5M – $40M+
Medina, WA (Eastside, Lake Washington)
SafetyA
PrivacyHigh
Drive25–45 min

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.

Hunts Point & Yarrow Point

$6M – $40M+
Hunts Point / Yarrow Point, WA (Eastside)
SafetyA

Drive25–45 min

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.

Mercer Island

Drive20–40 min

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.

Drive25–45 min

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.
