Same for me, TC household around 750k. I heard Kirkland/Redmond are really good. Also Mercer Island?
Bellevue
Checkout Issaquah Highlands off exit 18 on Highway 90. Great schools - solid neighborhoods.
Bellevue for schools, Seattle for location and schools. Kirkland if cannot find anything in bellevue or seattle.
Seriously? Kirkland has live downtown and waterfront. The housing price in Kirkland is higher than Bellevue.
Seriously, kirkland is a nice place to visit but not comparable to bellevue for schools or fam friendly. That is why bellevue is significantly more expensive. Median home price is kirkland is 755k. Median in Bellevue is 948k. Bellevue is also likely better for commuting and entertainment although obviously well behind Seattle. Just my .02 of course besides the hard data.
No doubt bellevue is the best if you can afford
Redmond west is also really good
Redmond - English hill(brand new Clara Barton elementary)/education hill(Normal Rockwell elementary)
Education Hill always the best
How much money do you have to spend?
TC is 290k
Issaquah or Sammamish
