Pioneer Square is Seattle's historic heart, cobblestone streets, preserved Victorian and Romanesque architecture, art galleries, and underground tour history alongside a growing food and nightlife scene.

Downtown Bellevue has emerged as one of the Eastside's premier high-rise condo markets, driven by tech sector growth and Bellevue's evolution into a major employment center in its own right. Bellevue's condo buildings tend to be larger, newer, and higher-amenity than comparable price-point buildings across the lake in Seattle. Bellevue Towers (539 units, 2008) and Lincoln Tower are the neighborhood's flagship luxury addresses, while Grandview and Arbor Place round out the inventory.
Downtown Kirkland offers a charming lakefront alternative to Seattle and Bellevue's urban density, a walkable waterfront village on the eastern shore of Lake Washington with restaurants, galleries, and Kirkland Urban.
