Welcome to Redmond, Washington, where natural beauty meets Pacific Northwest innovation. As the "Bicycle Capital of the Northwest," this city of 73,000 residents offers apartments ranging from downtown locations averaging $2,319 for one-bedroom units to residential options in established neighborhoods like Education Hill and Overlake. Home to major employers Microsoft and Nintendo of America, Redmond has evolved from its agricultural roots while maintaining its community spirit.
The city's outdoor spaces include 47 public parks across 1,351 acres. Marymoor Park stands out with its summer concert series and popular 48-acre off-leash dog park. Miles of paths, including the Sammamish River Trail and Redmond Central Connector, wind through the city. Local traditions like the Redmond Saturday Market – the longest-running farmers market on the Eastside – and celebrations such as Derby Days and Redmond Lights bring the community together throughout the year.
