Puget Sound’s Most Expensive Neighborhoods

Mary Pong,

The word is about the same across the country home prices are increasing but some markets are more predominant than others. In the Puget Sound region, the median home value is more than $500,000, however, still lower than many tech-centric cities in California where the median home value is nearly $1 million.

In a recent article by Biz Journals, Digital managing editor Emily Parkhurst mapped out the most expensive neighborhoods in the Puget Sound region. This list of 30 highlighted more dense neighborhoods from Seattle to the east side.

Number 20 is Bridal Trails in Bellevue where the median home value is $736,200. This neighborhood has a population of over 10,000 with a median income of $85,000. The top 10 are as follows:
