Your Next Chapter
Starts Here
Golf when you want it. Community always. At Trilogy at Redmond Ridge, low-maintenance living meets resort-style amenities, an 18-hole course right outside your door, and neighbors who have earned—and embraced—this season of life.
Redmond Ridge · Established 2001–2014 · Between Redmond & Duvall
A Golf Community Built Around Living Well
Tucked into the forested hills of Novelty Hill—where Redmond meets Duvall—Trilogy at Redmond Ridge is the Eastside's premier 55+ active adult community. Developed by Shea Homes between 2001 and 2014, this master-planned neighborhood of 1,574 single-family homes was designed from the ground up with one intention: to give active adults the freedom to live fully, connect deeply, and let go of everything that no longer serves this season of life.
At the heart of the community sits the Redmond Ridge Golf Course—an 18-hole championship layout designed by Gary Panks, winding through forested terrain and offering Cascade Mountain views on the back nine. Trilogy residents enjoy preferred tee times and discounted greens fees, making golf accessible every day of the week without initiation fees, membership applications, or the competitive atmosphere of a private club. This is golf the way it should be: social, unhurried, and right outside your front door.
As a member of the Seattle Golf League—which meets at Redmond Ridge Golf Course every Monday throughout spring and summer—I've walked this course dozens of times across different seasons and conditions. The forested corridors between holes create natural separation and genuine quiet. The layout rewards thoughtful course management without punishing the social golfer. The pace of play is refreshingly relaxed. And the community that gathers around this course—on the course, at the Crooked Spoon restaurant, on the trails—reflects exactly the lifestyle Trilogy was designed to create.
But here's what might surprise you: you don't need to be a golfer to love Trilogy. Some of my most rewarding client experiences here have been with families who never touched a club. They came for the events calendar, the fitness center, the social clubs, and the neighbors. The HOA maintains common area landscaping and your front yard—which sounds like a minor detail until you've spent decades caring for a larger Eastside property and realize what reclaiming your weekends actually feels like. Surrounded by protected wetlands, miles of community trails, and the natural beauty of the Sammamish Plateau, Trilogy offers something increasingly rare in the urban Eastside: space to breathe, and people to share it with.
The Trilogy Lifestyle
Beyond Golf: A Life Fully Lived
Trilogy at Redmond Ridge isn't a golf community that happens to have amenities—it's a lifestyle community that happens to have a golf course. With over 40 activity groups, resort-caliber facilities, and a social calendar that rivals the Eastside's finest clubs, Trilogy delivers the belonging and daily rhythm that many retirees are quietly searching for when they say they want to downsize.
The Cascade Club
The crown jewel of Trilogy's amenity package—a sprawling clubhouse with indoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, indoor walking track, spa services, aerobics studios, and the Crooked Spoon restaurant and bistro. Resort living without the resort price tag, included in your HOA assessment.
40+ Social Clubs & Events
Watercolor painting, book clubs, travel groups, wine tastings, card rooms, and community events spanning every interest. The social architecture at Trilogy means you can be as engaged—or as private—as you choose. Most residents find themselves choosing engaged.
Lifelong Learning
The University of Washington Learning Center at Trilogy offers lectures, courses, and intellectual engagement for residents who refuse to retire their curiosity. This amenity alone draws buyers who have spent careers at the top of their fields and aren't done thinking yet.
Outdoor Recreation
Tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, lawn bowling, and miles of forested community trails connecting to King County's trail network. Whether you walk the trails every morning or simply enjoy looking out onto them, the natural setting of Novelty Hill makes Trilogy feel like a genuine retreat.
The 55+ qualification—at least one resident must be 55 or older, with no permanent residents under 18—creates a community of peers. People in a similar life season, with similar rhythms and values. Mornings for the golf course or fitness center. Afternoons for Crooked Spoon. Evenings for neighbors. That's not a retirement cliché—that's what Trilogy residents actually tell me.
Real Estate Market · 2025–2026
Understanding the Trilogy Real Estate Market
The first thing every buyer and seller needs to understand about Trilogy: this is a resale-only market. The community was fully built out between 2001 and 2014, meaning every transaction is a resale—no new construction, no builder incentives. What's available today is what neighbors have loved and lived in. Condition, upgrades, and lot position—particularly golf course frontage—drive meaningful price variation within a compressed, consistent price band.
Trilogy offers four distinct home series across 15 unique models, ranging from 1,295 to 3,082 square feet. All homes are single-level or single-level primary suite designs by Shea Homes—open floor plans, large windows framing the forested surroundings, and eco-conscious construction throughout. Expect granite countertops, hardwood floors, gas fireplaces, covered patios, and two-car garages as standard across the community.
| Price Tier | Price Range | Typical Size | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | $600K–$850K | 1,295–1,800 sqft | 2BR/2BA great room plans, right-sizing from larger home |
| Mid-Range | $850K–$1.1M | 1,800–2,400 sqft | 2–3BR with den/office, updated kitchens and finishes |
| Upper | $1.1M–$1.5M | 2,400–3,082 sqft | Premium lots, golf course views, extensive upgrades |
Market conditions at Trilogy run consistently active—approximately five home sales per month, a median sold price around $1.25 million, and an average of $670 per square foot. Well-maintained homes with golf course frontage, territorial views, or premium lot positions sell competitively and often attract multiple offers. Homes with updated interiors consistently outperform dated ones—the buyers shopping Trilogy know exactly what they want and can wait for it.
HOA fees (typically $200–$400/month) are a genuine value proposition. They cover front yard maintenance, common area landscaping, and full access to all community amenities—the Cascade Club, pools, fitness, tennis, pickleball, trails, and social programming. For homeowners leaving a larger Eastside property with significant maintenance overhead, the HOA assessment frequently represents a net savings once landscaping and yard care costs are removed from the household budget.
A Family Found Their Community Here—Then Trusted Me to Sell It
I represented a Redmond family who sold their townhome and weren't sure what came next. They weren't golfers—they were searching for community: events, activities, and neighbors who showed up. We toured Trilogy and something clicked immediately. When they later needed to relocate due to family circumstances, they hired me to sell their Trilogy home—a beautiful property overlooking the 5th green. That full-circle relationship, from helping them find a community to helping them move on from it, is the kind of work I'm most proud of. View this sold property →
Resort-Style Amenities
The Country Club Experience
Without the Initiation Fee
With more than 40,000 square feet split across two clubhouses, Trilogy's amenity package rivals the Eastside's finest private clubs—without a six-figure membership barrier. Everything below is included in your monthly HOA assessment.
Is Trilogy Right for You?
Who Thrives at Trilogy
Trilogy is exceptional for a specific buyer. Knowing whether that's you—or whether a different community is the better fit—saves time and leads to better outcomes for everyone.
✓ Empty-Nesters Downsizing
Leaving a 4-bedroom Eastside home? Trilogy's single-level floor plans, HOA-maintained yards, and vibrant social infrastructure make this the logical next chapter for families whose space needs have changed.
✓ Retirees Seeking Community
Whether you retired from Microsoft, built a business, or spent a career in a service profession—Trilogy's 40+ activity groups, intellectual programming, and social events match the pace of an engaged retirement.
✓ Social Golfers & Non-Golfers
If you enjoy a casual Tuesday round without private club pressure, the Redmond Ridge Golf Course is ideal. And if you don't golf at all—Trilogy's other amenities are more than enough reason to be here.
✓ Buyers Wanting Turnkey Living
Move in, meet your neighbors, and let the HOA handle the front yard. Trilogy was designed to free you from the overhead of property maintenance—so you can actually enjoy where you live.
Who Trilogy may not be the right fit for: Buyers seeking an exclusive private club membership (consider Overlake, Glendale, or Aldarra on the Eastside). Competitive golfers who require tournament-caliber private course conditioning above all else. Buyers under 55. Families with children living at home permanently. If any of those describe you, I can point you toward a better-suited community.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your Trilogy Questions, Answered
What exactly does the 55+ age requirement mean at Trilogy?
Trilogy at Redmond Ridge operates as a 55+ active adult community under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA). This means at least one permanent resident in each home must be 55 years of age or older. A spouse or partner under 55 can reside in the home. No permanent residents under 18 are permitted, though grandchildren and family members can visit freely. If you have specific questions about whether your household qualifies, I recommend we discuss your situation before making an offer—these nuances matter and I can walk you through them clearly.
What are the HOA fees at Trilogy, and what do they cover?
HOA fees at Trilogy typically range from $200–$400 per month, depending on the home and lot. This assessment covers front yard maintenance and landscaping, common area upkeep throughout the community, and full access to all amenities—the Cascade Club, indoor pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, trails, bocce courts, and the full social programming calendar. Golf greens fees are paid separately at a resident-discounted rate—the HOA assessment provides access, not free rounds. Always verify current dues during your transaction, as assessments are subject to periodic change by the HOA board.
How does golf access work for Trilogy residents?
The Redmond Ridge Golf Course is an 18-hole championship layout designed by Gary Panks, adjacent to the Trilogy community. It operates as a public/semi-public course—not a private club owned or operated by the HOA. Trilogy residents receive preferred tee time access and discounted greens fees as a community benefit. There is no initiation fee, no membership application, and no sponsorship required. You book a tee time and play. As an active member of the Seattle Golf League—which meets at Redmond Ridge every Monday in spring and summer—I've played this course extensively. The layout is engaging, the pace is relaxed, and the community atmosphere is genuinely enjoyable.
Can I buy at Trilogy if I'm not a golfer?
Absolutely—and some of my most meaningful client experiences at Trilogy have been with buyers who never set foot on the course. One family I represented came specifically for the events calendar, fitness center, and the promise of a built-in social community. They thrived here. The golf course is a beautiful backdrop and a genuine lifestyle perk, but it's one amenity among dozens. If you're evaluating Trilogy for its community infrastructure, low-maintenance living, and social richness rather than the golf course specifically, you may find it's an even better fit than you expected.
What home models and series are available at Trilogy?
Trilogy offers four distinct home series with 15 unique models, all built by Shea Homes between 2001 and 2014, ranging from 1,295 to 3,082 square feet. Popular resale models include the Vashon (2BR/2BA great room layout), the Union (3BR with flexible den), the Hemlock (vaulted great room with chef's kitchen and primary suite sanctuary), and the Oakwood (3BR/3BA with dual living areas). All are single-level or single-level primary suite designs. The community is fully built out—every sale is a resale. Contact me for a current inventory review specific to the model and lot type you're targeting.
What's the typical timeline for downsizing from a larger Eastside home to Trilogy?
In my experience guiding Eastside families through this transition, the full process typically takes 3 to 6 months from initial planning conversations to move-in. This depends on market conditions for your current home and inventory availability at Trilogy at the time. We typically assess whether to list your existing home first or search for your Trilogy home concurrently, then coordinate closings to minimize gap time. The logistics of right-sizing from a larger home—what to keep, what to let go—are part of the conversation I have with every family. This transition has nuances. I specialize in it, and I genuinely enjoy helping families navigate it well.
Is there an age waiver or hardship exception process at Trilogy?
In certain limited circumstances, the HOA may consider exceptions—most commonly when a homeowner passes away and a surviving spouse or partner is under 55. These situations are evaluated case by case and are not guaranteed. The community is required to maintain at least 80% of occupied units with at least one resident age 55+ to retain its active adult status under HOPA. For guidance specific to your personal situation, I recommend contacting the Trilogy HOA directly and, if needed, consulting a real estate attorney familiar with active adult community regulations in Washington State.
Is Trilogy at Redmond Ridge a good property investment for sellers?
The Trilogy resale market has shown consistent, demand-driven performance—approximately five home sales per month, a median sold price around $1.25 million, and strong absorption of well-prepared listings. Homes with golf course frontage (particularly those overlooking signature holes), territorial views, or updated interiors attract competitive offers and often sell above comparable dated properties. If you currently own a Trilogy home and are considering selling, the key variables are presentation, pricing strategy, and timing. I can provide a complimentary, detailed market analysis tailored to your specific model, lot position, and upgrade profile. Get your home's value →
Your Trilogy Specialist
Why Work With Freddy Delgadillo
I understand the Trilogy market from angles most agents can't access. As an active member of the Seattle Golf League—which plays at Redmond Ridge Golf Course every Monday throughout spring and summer—I've walked this course dozens of times and know the community the way only someone embedded in it can. I know which holes have the best views, where the pace of play opens up, and what it actually feels like to be part of this community on a regular Tuesday morning.
As an agent who has represented both buyers and sellers at Trilogy, I've navigated this 55+ market from both sides of the table. The transition to a community like this is one of the most significant moves a family makes—not just logistically, but emotionally. My role isn't to find you a house. It's to help you understand what this next chapter needs to look like, align the timing of your existing home sale with your Trilogy purchase, and make sure you land somewhere that genuinely fits the life you're building.
