Apartments Near Public Transit in Redmond WA

Living in Downtown Redmond WA means having one of the region's most exciting transit connections right outside your door. The Downtown Redmond Station — the final stop on Sound Transit's 2 Line — is just a short walk from AMLI Redmond Way, giving you seamless access to a growing network of stations across the Eastside and beyond. Trains run every 8–10 minutes during the day and every 10–15 minutes in the evening, seven days a week, so you'll rarely find yourself waiting long on the platform. 

Ride to Bellevue in minutes 

From Downtown Redmond Station, you can reach downtown Bellevue in roughly 15 minutes, passing through Redmond Technology Station near Microsoft's campus, the Spring District near Meta's offices and BelRed along the way. It's a fast, stress-free commute that lets you skip SR-520 traffic entirely. 

The Crosslake Connection to Seattle 

The 2 Line's highly anticipated Crosslake Connection will extend service across Lake Washington which, by the way, is the world's first electrified light rail on a floating bridge! That means AMLI Redmond Way residents will soon enjoy a direct, roughly 40-minute ride from Downtown Redmond all the way into Seattle's International District/Chinatown Station, where you can transfer to the 1 Line for even more destinations. From Redmond apartments in Seattle's broader metro, it doesn't get more connected than this.

One of the biggest perks of choosing apartments near public transit is knowing exactly how long your commute will take — no more guessing about traffic on 520 or I-405. Here's what typical transit commute times look like from AMLI Redmond Way. 

• To Microsoft campus (Redmond Technology Station): Roughly 5–7 minutes by light rail — just two stops on the 2 Line. 
• To downtown Bellevue: About 15 minutes by light rail, with direct service to Bellevue Downtown Station. 
• To the Spring District and Meta campus: Around 10 minutes by light rail to Spring District/120th Station. 
• To Mercer Island: Approximately 25 minutes by light rail once the Crosslake Connection opens. 
• To downtown Seattle: About 40 minutes by light rail via the Crosslake Connection, with easy transfers to the 1 Line at International District/Chinatown Station for Capitol Hill, the University District, Northgate, Lynnwood and beyond.

These predictable, traffic-free commute times are a game-changer for anyone tired of sitting bumper-to-bumper on the Eastside's busiest highways.
