The best kept secret in Bellevue might just be the Lochleven neighborhood – its residents love it so much, they never want to move out! Comprised of just 26 blocks between 92nd Ave. NE and 100th Ave NE, NE 8th St. to Lake Washington, this small-but-mighty neighborhood is home to Lochleven Community Association, a 501 (c) 3 open to all residents of the Lochleven area. With a walkability score hovering around 85, the Lochleven neighborhood’s location cannot be beat – just blocks away from Historic Downtown Bellevue, The Bellevue Collection, and the Downtown Bellevue & Goddard Parks. To the South, Lake Washington shorefront awaits with its public beach and access to the lake (and thanks to REI, paddle board and kayak rentals too!).

Most of Lochleven’s public school students attend award-winning Medina Elementary School, Chinook Middle School and Bellevue High School, however there are options for private schools nearby: St. Thomas (1 mile), Bellevue Christian (1 mile), Sacred Heart (1 mile), among others.
