Source: NWMLS, Freddy Delgadillo CMA. Data as of August 2026. Sample sizes are small (n=10 in 2024, n=6 in 2025) — figures below are shown descriptively, not as statistical trends.

Median Days on Market
Sold price range: 2024 homes sold between $1,282,500 and $3,400,000; 2025 homes sold between $1,050,000 and $1,640,000. Median sold price held essentially flat year over year.
*One 2024 sale (a newly built 2024-construction home at 8303 133rd Ave NE, $3,400,000) is not representative of Grass Lawn's midcentury housing stock and is excluded from character-home comparisons, though included in the full sold count above.
**One 2025 listing (13780 NE 77th Place) sold after 62 days on market — notably longer than any other sale in this dataset — and is shown here for transparency rather than excluded. Median, not average, is used for days on market to avoid this single listing skewing the comparison.
Price per square foot rose from roughly $690 to $855 between 2024 and 2025, the most consistent signal in this data — though it reflects smaller average home size sold in 2025 as much as pure appreciation, and the sample remains small.
About Grass Lawn
Set on a hillside on the west side of Redmond, Grass Lawn offers sweeping views toward the Sammamish Valley and the Cascades beyond. It's one of Redmond's most established residential neighborhoods — a mature, walkable community shaped decades before the tech boom reshaped the Eastside.
The housing stock reflects that history: predominantly 1950s–1970s ranch-style homes, many with original hardwood floors, vaulted wood ceilings, and picture windows framing decades-old gardens. Streets are lined with sidewalks and a canopy of maples and cedars that have had 50-plus years to mature — a look and feel that simply can't be replicated in newer developments.
At the heart of it all sits Grass Lawn Park: sports fields, walking trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas that make it the neighborhood's true community anchor.
Character Over New Construction
This isn't a neighborhood of cookie-cutter new builds. While Redmond Ridge and Overlake draw buyers toward new construction, Grass Lawn draws a different kind of buyer entirely — one who wants established trees over saplings, real architectural character over builder-grade finishes, and neighbors who've been there for decades.
Grass Lawn attracts a specific mix: Microsoft employees looking for a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready spec home, families who want mature landscaping instead of a freshly-sodded new-build yard, and long-term Redmond residents who value community tenure over novelty. Many buyers purchase specifically to renovate — updating kitchens and bathrooms while preserving the midcentury bones that make these homes worth keeping.
Life in Grass Lawn
Grass Lawn Park anchors daily life here — soccer games, walking trails, picnic areas, and the kind of casual neighbor run-ins that only happen in an established community. Sidewalks on most streets make it genuinely walkable, and the mature tree canopy keeps it feeling like a neighborhood rather than a subdivision.
Microsoft's campus is about 1.5 miles away — a 5-minute drive or an easy bike commute, making Grass Lawn a practical choice for tech employees who want proximity without new-construction pricing. Downtown Redmond and Redmond Town Center are a short drive for dining and shopping, and Marymoor Park's trails are close by for anyone who wants more green space than the neighborhood park alone.
Grass Lawn falls within the Lake Washington School District, with students typically attending Benjamin Rush Elementary, Rose Hill Middle School, and Lake Washington High School.
Freddy's Perspective
"I grew up playing at Grass Lawn Park, and this neighborhood still feels like classic Redmond — before the tech explosion, when families knew their neighbors and kids rode bikes on quiet streets. I moved to Redmond in 1990, and Grass Lawn has always represented what I love most about this city: real community, built over decades, not overnight."
