Education Hill is one of Redmond’s largest neighborhoods at 2.5 square miles and is situated to the north side of the Downtown corridor. Education hill is primarily a residential neighborhood, no commercial is allowed (though a new construction project has been approved near NE 116th St. and Avondale Rd), and has recieved the name due to the high concentration of schools within its borders.

Education Hill is one of the oldest areas in Redmond offering a variety of residential properties. In the central part of the neighborhood is where you will find the low to moderate density areas (4-8 dwellings per acre), comprised mostly of single family homes with density increasing towards Redmond-Woodville Rd to the west and Avondale Rd NE to the east.
