Newport
A south Bellevue residential neighborhood area including Newport Hills and Newport Shores, known for top-rated schools near Lake Washington.
Newport is a residential neighborhood area in south Bellevue, encompassing communities such as Newport Hills and the waterfront Newport Shores near the southern end of Lake Washington and the Mercer Slough. It is one of the residential areas that the Factoria commercial district serves, sitting between I-405, Coal Creek Parkway, and the lake.
The neighborhood is anchored in community life by Newport High School, which has ranked among the top public high schools in Washington state and is a major draw for families relocating to south Bellevue. The mix of mid-century and newer single-family homes appeals to households seeking access to Bellevue's highly rated schools.
Newport Shores in particular features a network of canals and waterfront lots with lake access, giving part of the neighborhood a boating-oriented waterfront character distinct from the hillside areas of Newport Hills.
