Redmond Real Estate
Redmond, Washington, is situated in what is known as the Eastside. In 2003 the estimated the city population was 46,391. Redmond is best known as the home of Microsoft (for which "Redmond" has become a metonym) and Nintendo of America. With an annual bike race on city streets and the state's only velodrome, Redmond is also known as "the bicycle capital of the Northwest". Despite this, the city is suburban in character, with its main form of transportation being the automobile. Redmond has a historic downtown with many personally owned businesses which is connected to the modern downtown Redmond.
The city has many parks and is known for its woods. Located between Washington's dramatic Cascade mountain range and sparkling Puget Sound, and surrounded by towering evergreen forests, Redmond is known for its natural beauty. In a city with 34 parks and over 25 miles of trails, it's easy to forget that you're within 20 minutes of downtown Seattle and a short ride away from great skiing!
