Novelty and Union Hill is a relatively self-contained suburban village with approximately 18,800 residents. In this unincorporated area of East King County, Novelty and Union Hill is a landscape of horse pastures, smaller neighborhoods, and unblemished open space. Many of Redmond Ridge's 15 miles of public soft-surface trails buzz with bicyclists, runners and stroller pushers. Today, the paths in Redmond Ridge connect to 14 parks or playgrounds, while others segue onto paved paths and sidewalks that border landscaped boulevards meandering through nearby Redmond Ridge East and Trilogy. Retail clusters and an 18-hole public golf course can also be found in these areas of Redmond. If not riding at the various Union or Novelty Hill ranches, many local horseback riders saddle up at Novelty Hill’s 27-acre Kathryn Taylor Equestrian Park. This park features a sand arena, pen, and access to the Tolt Pipeline Park Trail; a route riders share with walkers, runners and bicyclists. Just north of Northeast Novelty Hill Road, is an 800-acre Redmond Watershed Preserve that offers an equally accessible labyrinth of seven connecting multi-use trails highlighting scenes of woods, water and wildlife. Homes in these areas are mostly completed condominiums, town homes, apartments, single-family and seniors-only homes ranging from $100,000 to more than $1 million.
