Family of 4. Single income. 2 kids, 6 and 3 yrs of age respectively. I am looking for a spacious place (preferably 1700 sqft plus) and a safe neighbourhood. Max budget for the rent is ~ $3k / month. Which areas would you suggest? Also, which ones do you prefer, houses or apartments? Work for Amazon in Seattle (SLU), I can manage with upto an hour of commute, if I can get a good place for the family.
Eastside for kids. Especially Kirkland.
Still possible on 3k?
Yes, can rent a house for that money. E.g. on Rose Hill.
