Clyde Hill, Medina & Yarrow Point, Washington — Luxury Real Estate
The most exclusive address on the Eastside — three small cities that together form Washington's preeminent ultra-luxury residential corridor.
Three Cities, One Corridor
Clyde Hill, Medina, and Yarrow Point are three small incorporated cities situated on a peninsula that juts into Lake Washington between Bellevue and Kirkland. Combined, they encompass only a few square miles and a few thousand residents — but they represent the highest concentration of ultra-high-net-worth residential real estate in Washington state. Medina is consistently cited as one of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the United States. Bill Gates has lived here for decades. The corridor attracts CEOs, founders, professional athletes, and international buyers who require the combination of absolute privacy, security, and proximity to both Bellevue's urban core and Seattle.
There is no typical transaction here. Homes range from $5M teardown-and-rebuild opportunities on smaller lots to $25M+ waterfront estates on the Lake Washington shoreline. Most properties do not appear on the public MLS — they change hands through private broker networks, direct outreach, and relationships developed over years. This is a market where knowing who is considering selling matters more than anything a search portal can tell you.
Clyde Hill
Clyde Hill sits on an elevated plateau above Lake Washington, immediately adjacent to West Bellevue. It offers sweeping views of the lake, Seattle skyline, and Olympic Mountains from virtually every lot — without requiring direct waterfront. Homes here are typically estate-sized, heavily landscaped, and characterized by a mix of significant mid-century originals (many renovated or rebuilt), transitional new construction, and occasional teardown opportunities. The city is extremely walkable within itself — residents often walk or bike to nearby Bellevue amenities — but the character is unmistakably residential and private.
Price range: $4M–$15M+ for single-family homes. Lot size premium is significant; larger lots above 20,000 sq ft command meaningful premiums for development flexibility.
Medina
Medina is the most prestigious address on the Eastside. Situated directly on Lake Washington with some of the most significant private waterfront on the entire lake, Medina properties regularly trade at prices that establish new regional records. The city has its own police department and maintains an exceptional quality of services for its small population. Properties are rarely on the market — when they do appear, they move quickly among a small buyer pool that is almost entirely self-selecting: buyers at this level already know they want Medina.
Price range: $7M–$30M+. Waterfront properties with 100+ feet of private lake frontage and dock access represent the top of the market. The few non-waterfront lots in Medina — often view properties — still trade at $5M–$10M.
Yarrow Point
Yarrow Point is a small peninsula extending into Lake Washington between Clyde Hill and Kirkland's Houghton neighborhood. It offers many of the characteristics of Medina — waterfront access, privacy, and prestige — with a slightly more understated character. Properties here benefit from a westerly orientation, providing exceptional sunset views and direct lake access. The Yarrow Point community beach and boat launch are shared amenities that strengthen the neighborhood's appeal for waterfront and boat-access buyers.
Price range: $5M–$15M+ for waterfront. Interior lots from $3M–$6M.
Schools: Bellevue School District
All three cities are served by Bellevue School District, consistently ranked among the top three school districts in Washington. This is not incidental — school quality is a factor even at the $10M+ price point, and many buyers in this corridor have school-age children. The International School, Cherry Crest Elementary, and Bellevue and Newport High Schools are the primary schools serving these communities.
Who Moves Here
Today’s buyer pool in the Medina–Clyde Hill corridor is concentrated among a select group of ultra-high-net-worth purchasers: tech executives, founders, and C-suite leaders from Amazon, Microsoft, and the broader Pacific Northwest technology ecosystem who have realized substantial equity gains and are seeking a legacy property that reflects their success; relocating corporate executives arriving from New York, California, and international markets who are drawn to the region’s quality of life, proximity to major technology employers, and Washington’s lack of a state income tax; international buyers from Asia, the Middle East, and Europe seeking a prestigious and secure North American foothold near one of the world’s leading innovation hubs; and legacy Eastside families who have owned local real estate for generations and are moving into the market’s highest tier, often following a major business sale, liquidity event, or wealth transfer. The common thread across these groups is a focus on exclusivity, privacy, long-term wealth preservation, and access to the region’s most prestigious addresses while remaining close to Bellevue, Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest’s technology and business leadership community.
Why Work With David In This Corridor
The Clyde Hill, Medina, and Yarrow Point market requires broker relationships that simply do not exist for most agents. David's membership in REALM Global — the invitation-only network of approximately 850 of the world's top luxury real estate professionals — means he has direct connections to brokers who represent ultra-high-net-worth buyers globally. For sellers, this is the difference between marketing a $12M property to the Eastside's buyer pool and surfacing it to qualified buyers in Singapore, London, Dubai, and São Paulo.
David is a Windermere W Collection broker, the designation for $3M+ properties, with access to Windermere's global network and the white-glove marketing platform appropriate for this market: custom video production, international print placement, private broker events, and off-market facilitation. In a corridor where most transactions begin with a phone call rather than an MLS listing, his broker network is the product.
Quick Questions about Clyde Hill, Medina & Yarrow Point
What is the typical price range in Medina?
Medina non-waterfront properties typically range from $5M–$10M. Waterfront estates with significant lake frontage and dock access range from $10M–$30M+. Properties at this level rarely publish asking prices publicly.
How do properties in this corridor come to market?
The majority of significant transactions in Medina, Clyde Hill, and Yarrow Point occur off-market or through private broker networks before any public listing. Working with an agent who has established relationships in this specific corridor is essential.
What neighborhoods are best for luxury buyers?
West Bellevue (Yarrow Point, Clyde Hill, Medina adjacency) for estates and waterfront; Downtown Bellevue for luxury condos; Somerset for view properties and newer construction; Bridle Trails for privacy and acreage.
Does David work with international buyers in this market?
Yes — David's REALM Global membership provides direct connectivity to international buyer networks in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. A meaningful percentage of transactions in this corridor involve international buyers.
How is this corridor different from West Bellevue?
West Bellevue (as a broader area) includes some of the same characteristics, but Clyde Hill, Medina, and Yarrow Point are separate incorporated cities with their own governance, services, and prestige positioning. Medina in particular is in a category of its own — a single ZIP code with some of the highest home values in the Pacific Northwest.
Can David help with off-market acquisition in this area?
Yes. Much of David's work in this corridor is proactive — identifying owners of properties that are not for sale, initiating conversations, and facilitating private transactions for buyers with specific criteria. This work happens through direct outreach and REALM Global's private network.
