Downtown Redmond homes for sale & neighborhood guide
Walkable, light-rail-served condos and townhomes in Redmond's reinvented urban core.
Living in Downtown Redmond
Downtown Redmond has transformed over the past decade from a sleepy center into a walkable, mixed-use urban core — and the arrival of light rail at the Downtown Redmond and Marymoor Village stations has accelerated the shift. For buyers who want newer construction, walkability, and transit in one package, it's one of the most compelling spots on the Eastside.
Housing here is led by condos and townhomes, much of it newer, clustered around the retail, dining, and breweries of the downtown grid and the edge of Marymoor Park. The product suits buyers who want a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave home near transit and the Microsoft campus, as well as first-time buyers seeking a more attainable entry point than single-family Redmond.
With the Redmond Central Connector trail, Marymoor Park, and light rail all at the doorstep, downtown blends recreation and convenience. Demand is strong from tech commuters and buyers who value walkability, and the transit connection adds a durable, structural draw.

Downtown Redmond's median sits well below single-family Redmond because the inventory is largely condos and townhomes — which also makes it one of the Eastside's more attainable entry points near a major job center and light rail. Newer one- and two-bedroom condos anchor the entry range, with larger townhomes higher up.
The light-rail connection is reshaping demand here, and transit-served homes are an increasingly distinct segment. Buyers get walkability and a commute hedge; first-time buyers in particular find downtown one of the more accessible ways into the Redmond market.
