Neighborhood Spotlight | Enatai
Located in southwest Bellevue off of I-90, Enatai is a small neighborhood that offers residents a retreat from bustling city life amid mature trees and waterfront access. Close enough to downtown Bellevue to never be far from plenty of choices in restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, but tucked away into a quieter, woodsy setting, Enatai provides the best of both worlds. For those who work in downtown Seattle, expect an easy commute with convenient freeway access. Beautiful waterfront parks ensure there’s never a lack of fun outdoor activities in this charming neighborhood.
