Education Hill, Redmond

Education Hill is a large residential neighborhood, that is bound on the north by NE 116th Street, on the south by downtown Redmond, on the east by Avondale Road NE and on the west by the Redmond-Woodinville Road. As the name implies, the neighborhood has several educational facilities. These include Redmond High, Redmond Junior High, Horace Mann Elementary and Norman Rockwell Elementary.

A multiple-family community is located west of 166th Ave NE and south of NE 95th Street. Several multiple-family areas also have developed along the west side of Avondale Road.

The slopes along the east side of Education Hill remain forested, protecting steep, unstable slopes and slopes with critical erosion hazards. Development has generally occurred at the top and bottom of the slopes. The slopes to the west along the Sammamish Valley also are forested, with most development taking place at the top of the slope. The steep slopes leading down to several streams have been preserved, protecting the streams from erosion and providing attractive forested areas within the neighborhood.
