Where are best neighborhoods or suburbs. Is real estate coming down??What % under asking price are you typically offering.
Kids? Eastside / 98033 No kids? Cap Hill
Kids eastside. Commute is not bad. Good bus routes. Sammamish schools are excellent.
How long does it take you in rush hour to Seattle downtown
I did the reverse.. Lived in Seattle worked on the east side.. Most days it will be under an hour.. You probably want to modify your schedule slightly so you're not leaving between 5-6pm every evening.. And then you'll be fine..
98033 is the top choice, you should be able to afford. It’s right in the middle of G, FB (Oculus and the future norther Bellevue campus) and MS HQ. 10 mins to Bellevue downtown, up to 30 mins to SLU in a rush hour. Best restaurants, Costco, WholeFoods, TraderJoes, etc. are 5-10 mins away. 8+ public schools. Don’t buy anywhere north of Totem lake, east of lake Sammamish or south of I-90 freeway (except Mercer island): you’ll hate the commute.
If you want to live in Seattle.. Queen Anne could be a place you could buy.. Also look at first hill.. Or north near Greenlake.. I would recommend east side though - Bellevue / Kirkland / redmond if it's in your price range.. The commute is not terrible at all..
+1 on Queen Anne
Education hill, Redmond or Sammamish if you have kids
Depends upon you. Kids or no kids ?
