Should a Meta Bellevue Employee Buy in Factoria, Downtown Bellevue, or Kirkland for a 2026 Hybrid Schedule?
Short answer: For a Meta Bellevue hybrid, start from the company’s published Bellevue pin at 1209 124th Ave NE (Bellevue Downtown Association member page; Spring District context)—then choose Spring District / East Bellevue for last-mile length, Downtown Bellevue for Bellevue Downtown Station on the 2 Line and denser product, Kirkland when a partner commute or Kirkland inventory wins, and Factoria only if your schedule actually points to SE Bellevue near 12920 SE 38th Street (T-Mobile’s published HQ address), not because “Bellevue” is one walkshed. Citywide, Bellevue’s all-types median was $1,499,286 (down 1.4% YoY) and Kirkland’s was $1,219,419 (down 9.67% YoY) over the three months ending September 2026; October figures were not on Redfin yet as of November 6, 2026.

How Meta Bellevue hybrid buyers usually decide
- Confirm the badge building against 1209 124th Ave NE / Spring District. Do not assume Factoria.
- Decide whether 2 Line adjacency at Bellevue Downtown matters more than Spring District last-mile length.
- Separate condo, townhome and house comps. In the September 2026 window, Bellevue condos ($549,943) and Kirkland condos ($514,447) sat far below each city’s single-family median.
- If a partner works in Kirkland, time both office-day trips from the same shortlist address. See Bellevue vs Kirkland for Meta / Amazon.

FAQ
Should a Meta Bellevue employee buy in Factoria, Downtown Bellevue, or Kirkland for a 2026 hybrid schedule?
Start from Meta’s published Bellevue address at 1209 124th Ave NE (Bellevue Downtown Association member page / Spring District context), then decide whether Downtown Bellevue’s 2 Line stop, a Spring District walkshed, Factoria (only if your schedule actually points SE), or Kirkland fits both office days and home type. Bellevue’s citywide median was $1,499,286 and Kirkland’s was $1,219,419 over the three months ending September 2026 (Redfin).
Where does Bellevue Downtown Association list Meta in Bellevue?
The Bellevue Downtown Association Meta member page lists Meta Platforms, Inc. at 1209 124th Ave NE, Bellevue, WA 98005, and describes the Spring District campus purchase. Confirm your badge building.
Is Factoria the same as Meta’s Bellevue campus?
No. Factoria / SE Bellevue is the employment cluster buyers usually associate with T-Mobile’s published principal executive offices at 12920 SE 38th Street. Meta’s BDA-listed address is on 124th Ave NE in the Spring District area. Do not conflate the two walksheds.
Does Downtown Bellevue put me on Link?
Sound Transit’s Bellevue Downtown Station page covers that stop (594 110th Ave NE). The 2 Line schedule is titled Lynnwood – Downtown Redmond. Station adjacency is still not a door-to-desk promise to 1209 124th Ave NE.
When does Kirkland win for a Meta Bellevue hybrid?
When a partner’s office (often Google Kirkland) or Kirkland product mix matters more than living inside Bellevue—and you have timed the Bellevue Meta trip. Kirkland’s citywide median was $1,219,419 over the three months ending September 2026.
