A delightful small-town feel in the heart of a beloved Seattle suburb

Suburb Commuter Upscale Parks Golf Walkable Nature Outdoors Scenic

Newcastle enjoys a strong reputation as one of the finest communities in the Seattle area, and the neighborhood at the heart of this Lake Washington suburb cultivates an environment that balances suburban tranquility with superb amenities. Coal Creek parkway forms the backbone of Downtown Newcastle, anchoring a business district that includes a number of locally-owned businesses: pick up some choice cuts at B & E Meats & Seafood, savor the Taiwanese cuisine at Yea’s Wok, or enjoy a casual meal at Jet City Pizza.

The area surrounding this cluster of businesses is full of upscale homes and apartment communities, with options available to suit any taste and lush greenery offering privacy and seclusion. Living in Downtown Newcastle, you’ll enjoy prime access to some of the area’s favorite outdoor attractions: The Golf Club at Newcastle and the Coal Creek Natural Area are practically right next door, and Cougar Mountain is only a short drive, bike ride, or hike away.
