Welcome to Medina
An affluent, picturesque neighborhood offering privacy and a luxurious lifestyle
Blanketed with evergreens and boasting spectacular views of Lake Washington, Medina is an oasis of wealth and wild beauty. This highly walkable town provides residents with exclusive neighborhoods and an abundance of privacy, all set against a stunning view of snow-capped mountains and sparkling water.
Although it’s unimaginable today, the meticulously landscaped, pristine streets of Medina were once not only wild and rustic, they were up for grabs. As part of the Homestead Act of 1862, large parcels of land were handed over to settlers willing to brave the wild conditions and build a community from scratch. A few intrepid adventurers did just that, and by 1890, there were 20 landowners, including Medina’s first permanent settler, Thomas Dabney.
Modern-day Medina is a bastion of wealth and luxury, private waterfront estates, and tech industry billionaires. This residential paradise offers both the serenity of quiet suburban life and the sophistication of nearby Bellevue and Seattle, not to mention some of the most impressive real estate in the Pacific Northwest.
