Welcome to Mercer Island
Step into Áegis Living Mercer Island, and you’ll be greeted by a 35-foot-wide waterfall, stacked-stone fireplace, and soaring windows that showcase lush PNW greenery, a lodge as stunning as any Lake Placid retreat, perfectly tuned to Mercer Island life. At its heart is a one-of-a-kind atmosphere: communal yet elegant, filled with art by Steve Jensen, and local nods, such as the resident pub and the Olympic Lounge, lined with Winter Olympic memorabilia. Every detail, from the cozy nooks to the grand courtyards, is crafted for connection, comfort, and breathtaking beauty. Residents enjoy a stroll through the Zen garden, take a “virtual ski lift” ride, or get hands-on with the chef at a cheese tasting class. Family, friendship, and Northwest pride fill every space, reflecting both island legacy and modern Áegis Living hospitality.
