West Bellevue and Somerset have many 1950s–1970s homes on crawlspaces and hillside lots. Lake Hills and Crossroads have mostly mid-century homes, and downtown has many high-rise condos. Many West Bellevue and Somerset homes sit on hillside lots with crawlspaces or daylight basements, where long rainy seasons and poor drainage lead to mold and wood rot. Downtown towers share plumbing stacks, so a leak in one unit can reach several floors below before anyone notices.
