Newport Shores: A Unique Community Located on Lake Washington and Canal Waterfront

“Inside Bellevue”, the Bellevue neighborhood spotlight series, is a unique collaboration between The Brazen’s at Windermere Real Estate/Bellevue Commons and Downtown Bellevue Network. Drawing upon their over 30 years of experience living, working, and selling in Bellevue, the esteemed Brazen family provides an exclusive insider’s perspective on living in Bellevue and the real estate market.

Our exploration takes us into the Bellevue district of Newport Shores , an exceptional community positioned along canal waterfront and the edges of Lake Washington. This family-centric enclave spans across more than 170 acres and accommodates over 340 homes. The streets within this neighborhood provide an ideal setting for biking and strolling. Moreover, its advantageous proximity to downtown Bellevue and Factoria adds to its appeal, just minutes away.

Situated south of I-90 and to the west of I-405, Newport Shores rests along the Lake Washington shoreline. The Lake Washington bike trail, Newcastle Park, Mercer Slough, and the convenient I-405 corridor form a seamless network of accessibility and leisure.

Newport Shores Neighborhood and Amenities

Newport Shores is a luxurious and unique community located along the southeast shore of Lake Washington in the city of Bellevue, Washington. With more than 340 homes in the neighborhood, 100 of them are located on canal waterfront and Lake Washington.

The suburban neighborhood is primarily made up of medium to large-sized homes, with 3-5 bedrooms, single-family homes. The real estate is noticeably well-maintained.

In the serene enclave of Newport Shores, every homeowner is automatically enrolled as a Resident Member of the prestigious Newport Yacht Club, a cornerstone of the community’s identity and lifestyle. Operating under the umbrella of the Homeowners Association (HOA), this membership entails an annual due of $200, collected in January. However, this level of affiliation doesn’t grant access to the Clubhouse amenities or participation in its activities, unless homeowners upgrade to Active Membership status.

A pivotal shift occurred on January 1, 2005, mandating that all homebuyers within Newport Shores must assume the role of an Active Member in the Newport Yacht Club and maintain this status.

While most Newport Shores homeowners hold the coveted title of Active Resident Members in the Newport Yacht Club, this tier of membership extends beyond the community’s boundaries. Even after relocating, members can retain their status by continuing to pay monthly dues, billed every quarter. This entitles homeowners and their immediate families to the full spectrum of club facilities and activities.

For those who own marina slip licenses, a distinct mandate is in place – becoming an Active Associate Member of the Club is compulsory. This entails an initial fee and recurring monthly dues, also billed quarterly. In addition to access to the Clubhouse amenities, Associate Members are welcomed to engage in all Club activities.

Even home renters within the Newport Shores community can become Active Associate Members under the purview of their landlord agreements, subject to Board approval. Marina slip renters, on the other hand, have the flexibility to opt for Active Associate Membership during their occupancy. 

All membership categories, including Resident, Active Resident, and Active Associate, offer perks such as receiving the monthly newsletter and accessing the dedicated member’s website.

A Glimpse into the Opulent Amenities

One of the standout features of the Newport Shores community is the exclusive Newport Yacht Club. Functioning as a haven of indulgence within the neighborhood, this facility brings together a diverse range of activities, social gatherings, and events designed to cater to members of all age groups.

Among the notable amenities are three regulation-size tennis courts, a half-court basketball court, a children’s playground, a sandy volleyball court, a seasonal heated outdoor pool, and a marina. Additionally, a 1,700 square-foot banquet room stands ready for private rentals, serving both members and non-members alike.

The Newport Yacht Club is home to a vibrant swim team, a member of the Midlakes Swim League encompassing 27 teams from Seattle and the Eastside. While the swim team is open to all Active Members, there are 40 additional spots for Community Members who haven’t achieved Active Membership status yet.

Exploring the Newport Yacht Club Marina

Nestled south of the I-90 Bridge on Lake Washington in Bellevue, the Newport Yacht Club Marina stands as a remarkable feature of the club’s offerings. With a collection of 109 slips ranging from 26 to 50 feet in length, each equipped with 30-amp power and water connections, the marina caters to boat owners’ needs. Approximately 50 slips are available for annual and 6-month lease contracts.

Marina slip renters have the option to gain Active Associate Membership status, allowing them access to a wider range of privileges. By paying Average Price of Home Sold* Average Price Per Sq Ft* Average Days on the Market* Number of Homes Sold in the Last 12 Months Highest Priced Home Sold in the Last 12 Months Lowest Priced Home Sold in the Last 12 Monthsan initiation fee along with active monthly dues, these renters can immerse themselves in the club’s offerings for the duration of their slip occupancy.

Development History of Newport Shores Community

Stepping back to the early 1960s, Newport Shores began to take shape as homes first graced its landscape. This picturesque community exudes a unique charm that blends a rich history with modern amenities.

Central to the allure of Newport Shores are the three tranquil canals that meander through the neighborhood, offering homeowners a sanctuary for their boats.

For the waterfront homeowners, the experience goes beyond the mere aesthetics. Their backyards unfold into lush green lawns and generous entertaining spaces that seamlessly transition to the canals. With secure boat moorage, these residences cater to outdoor and water enthusiasts, fostering a lifestyle that encapsulates indoor and outdoor living.

While the legacy of the 1960s homes endures, the neighborhood has evolved to accommodate modern preferences. Among the eclectic housing mix, new construction waterfront estates have emerged as prominent symbols of luxury, with some commanding prices exceeding $10 million.

The fabric of Newport Shores is tightly woven with a sense of community, a value held dear by its residents. Clean streets, meticulously manicured landscaping, and a palpable pride of ownership contribute to the neighborhood’s warmth and appeal. It’s not just a collection of homes, but a family-friendly environment where community bonds run deep.

Noteworthy Events

The Newport Shores Fourth of July stands out as a significant event, marked by its scale. Local activities encompass a variety of engaging events such as a fun run, a tennis tournament, a pet parade, a pie-baking contest, a chili cook-off, and both live and silent auctions. Another noteworthy occasion is the Commodore’s Ball.

Located in the heart of the balboa peninsula, this fairly newly renovated location boasts all the elements you'd come to expect from an exclusive yacht club. I was invited by friends to imbibe in sunset drinks and enjoy the grounds on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The space was definitely not crowded so I had free reign to explore with reckless abandon. Pleasant views of the bay abound on upper and lower decks with limited dining and drink menus to boot. Service was pleasant and the views were nice. They had a charming gift shop at the entrance, as well. Overall, I had a positive first experience here. I could imagine private parties and boat show viewing events would be a hit here with guests as they offer plenty of private rooms to choose from to cater to various events from weddings banquets and family get togethers.

Amazing service at NHYC. José was friendly and helpful with refueling my boat. The staff was happy to assist me, and I felt like family even though I was just visiting. Clean facilities, great people. I highly recommend them. Thanks guys!

Came here for a business meeting. First off the place was really nice, had a lot of trophies, open views, and clean spaces catered for the yacht lifestyle. Weirdly enough the meeting we had was located in a side part of the building, it was big enough to just fit all 9 of our team members who attended the meeting. In terms of the dining experience, the waiter we had was very attentive and catered to our orders, also providing great recommendations for the daily soups and entrees. I ordered the buttersquash soup with half a buffalo mozzarella chicken sandwich. However, the waiter notified me that the buttersquash soup was actually a pumpkin soup, which was fine, but caught me by surprise. For the sandwich, it was GOOD, but I wish the "half" was a little larger than what I got originally. Would love to try the other items next time. So overall, nice venue for events and fancy dining. Portions and price of the food? Eh...

An amazing place. Thoughtfully rebuilt from The ground up. Amazing people and staff. Never had a questionable time here. Absolutely love it.

My partner and I went to Newport Harbor Yacht Club for lunch while you're visiting Newport Beach, and overall, it had some good views, but the service left something to be desired. This is a private club, so our friend leaving a guest pass at the reception was the only way we're able to eat lunch here. That sort of limits who can go here, which is kind of the point. We sat down right along the water, and but we had to wait a good while for anyone to really notice us. That's kind of frustrating when servers are running past you but don't acknowledge you. Eventually, someone came around, and we ordered lunch. They are known for their mai tais, and the one I ordered was extremely strong. Extremely. The menu is not very expansive. Their lettuce wrap appetizers was somewhat healthy, but messy. But they did have a good assortment of salads. My partner's carne asada taco salad was delicious, as was my crabcake salad. The entrées definitely were the standout. Overall, this place has good views and good food. Obviously the atmosphere is very clubby, and I noticed they were selling vineyard vines ties in the lobby for $99. That pretty much tells you all you to know.

Wonderful! The remodel is absolutely gorgeous, the staff is professional and personal and the view can't be beat! Susan at reception greets with a smile and is extremely helpful, membership manager Joie is absolutely amazing with knowledge and kindness, and Adrien bartending makes the best Manhattan in So Cal! Thank you!

I was very excited to come here with my daughter for FJ Nationals, which NHYC hosted. Nice location and beautiful view. I came from a reciprocating yacht club. The service was great for its members, but the servers ignored me and were actually quite rude. Not the most gracious hosts, so not sure why they decided to host the regatta. I've been to yacht clubs throughout SoCal, big and small, and the experience at NHYC pales in comparison. The food was adequate, but if you order the BLT (which I don't recommend) make sure to request that the bread be toasted. As a side note, they have a very limited selection of beer.

Had a underwhelming, bland and cold dinner on their balcony and it smelt like rotten eggs! For an expensive dinner, I found it a total waste of money. Moreover, I couldn't help but notice on the water - all of their yacht club members were not following right of way laws and just messing about in the middle of the bay, totally in the way of all other boats. You could tell how inconvenient it was, with boaters crashing into the sea walls and docks just trying to avoid them! Unreal disrespect for maritime law. This place does not deserve the title of "yacht club".

I love NHYC. My partner and I go often and it is our go to place for dinner and drinks. The new building is beautiful, the staff are personable and helpful and there food is really good. It is like a local "cheers"...everyone is so friendly. You must have the Mai Tai's, they are amazing!!

The best part of NHYC is by far the view--can't beat eating dinner while the sun is setting. The food itself is decent, but the service is always excellent. And of course, the cappuccino ice cream is always amazing!
