Location

Woodridge is a community of 5,116 (2010 census) within Bellevue, WA. It includes the neighborhoods of Woodridge Hill and Norwood Village and accounts for about four percent of the City of Bellevue. The neighborhood is known for large houses, many of which overlook Lake Washington, Downtown Bellevue, and Seattle. It’s also known for its unique placement of homes, with different sizing and positioning, to maximize views. The result is also that the area does not look like tract housing, because none of the houses look the same. The Woodridge Hill neighborhood is located immediately south of downtown and east of I-405, and a long strip of multi-family, office, and light industrial development flanking Richards Road. Woodridge Hill is a neighborhood of quiet streets and family homes -- many with views of Lake Washington, downtown Bellevue, or Seattle.
