Island Square

Nestled in the heart of Downtown Mercer Island, Island Square offers the perfect blend of neighborhood charm and city connectivity — with Light Rail access and easy bus routes putting Seattle and Bellevue right at your doorstep. Reviews highlight just how much renters love the location, praising the walkable access to grocery stores, pharmacies, and a wide variety of restaurants, all just steps from home. Inside, the renovated apartments impress with Swiss elm cabinetry, quartz countertops, brushed nickel fixtures, and private balconies that make coming home feel like a retreat. Residents also consistently celebrate the peace of mind that comes with gated access, secured parking, and locked indoor hallways — a genuine standout on one of the PNW's most welcoming islands. The community amenities are equally impressive, from a 24-hour fitness center and hot tub to a sauna, fire pit, BBQ/grill area, and a modern clubhouse with coworking spaces and a podcast room. Both cats and dogs are welcome at Island Square, making it a wonderful home for pet owners looking for a well-appointed, amenity-rich community.
