Exploring the Redmond, WA Area Near Peters Creek Retirement Center: A Perfect Blend of Nature and Convenience

When choosing a retirement community, the surrounding area can be just as important as the community itself. At Peters Creek Retirement Center, located at 14431 Redmond Way, Redmond, WA 98052, we’re proud to be nestled in a vibrant city that offers the best of both worlds: serene natural beauty and modern conveniences. Whether you’re a resident or a family member considering senior living options, here’s why Redmond, Washington, makes our community an ideal place to call home in 2025.

Understanding Redmond’s Appeal for Seniors

Redmond, often dubbed the “Bicycle Capital of the Northwest,” is a thriving suburb just 16 miles east of Seattle. With a population of approximately 75,000 (based on the 2020 U.S. Census and projected growth), it strikes a perfect balance—offering robust amenities while retaining a welcoming, small-town vibe. This makes it an exceptional choice for seniors seeking comfort and connection. As a team with over 30 years of experience in senior care, we value Redmond’s unique blend of accessibility and tranquility, which enhances the retirement living experience at Peters Creek.

Living the Redmond Lifestyle

Our residents at Peters Creek Retirement Center experience Redmond’s charm every day. Picture waking up to stunning views of the Cascade Mountains or stepping out from our beautifully landscaped courtyard to explore Marymoor Park, one of King County’s largest parks. Located just a 10-minute drive away (about 4 miles south via WA-520, per Google Maps), this 640-acre gem features walking trails, picnic areas, and a summer concert series—perfect for staying active and connected with nature.

For those who enjoy urban outings, downtown Redmond is less than a mile from our community—a quick 5-minute drive or a pleasant walk. Redmond Town Center, an open-air shopping destination, offers stores like REI and Macy’s alongside cozy cafes ideal for socializing. Our transportation services ensure these trips are hassle-free, supporting residents’ independence and exploration.

One former resident, Judy, who spent over two years with us, loved the central location. “Being close to my kids and downtown made every day special,” she said before relocating nearer to her family. Her story highlights what many value about Peters Creek: a setting that blends accessibility with a sense of freedom.

Redmond’s Reputation and Resources

Redmond’s appeal goes beyond scenery—it’s a city with a solid reputation. Home to Microsoft (with its headquarters just 3 miles from Peters Creek), Redmond boasts a median household income of around $132,000 (per recent U.S. Census data) and a high quality of life. This economic strength supports excellent infrastructure and services, directly benefiting our residents. According to Niche.com, Redmond ranks among Washington’s best places to live, a testament to its senior-friendly environment.

Healthcare is a priority, and Redmond excels here, too. Overlake Medical Center, a top-rated hospital, is just 4 miles away (a 10-minute drive via WA-520) and provides emergency and specialized care. Group Health Cooperative’s Redmond Primary Care, only 1.5 miles from us, handles routine visits, while Bartell Drugs, less than a mile away, covers pharmacy needs. These distances, verified via mapping tools, offer residents and families peace of mind.

Culturally, Redmond shines with events like the annual Redmond Arts Festival downtown and its 27 parks, spanning over 1,700 acres (City of Redmond). This mix of urban and natural attractions makes it a standout retirement destination, and we’re proud to be part of it.
