Landed a job at Amazon and moving from a very low col area. I have my partner and 3 dogs so we would like a house with a backyard. Can I find anything like that within a budget of 3k? Good neighborhoods close to the office? TC: 270k #seattle #bellevue
You can get the space in exchange for a (very) long commute.
Yeah, commute is going to be a big deal for me based on how nuts I saw the traffic when I wS there.
FYI I pay 4300 for 1700 sq ft and a large yard for dogs. (In Bellevue.). For 3000 you are looking at apartments or townhomes.
driving up our rent dawg 😤
I’m the worst!
Sure, you could probably find a 900 sq. ft. house for $3000/month that's barely standing. Live a little...you make 300k.
Just depends on bills, but looks like I’ll have to increase my budget.
You may want to try Renton Highlands Area. It might fit your budget.
Good luck with 405 traffic 👍
Is the office location Seattle or Bellevue?
Bellevue
Commute home from Bellevue to anything south of I-90 is absolutely horrible between about 2pm and 8pm. It’s ugly but tolerable other times.
Yes, you absolutely can depending on how nice you want the place to be. Dogs will narrow your possibilities for rentals though. Newcastle will be cheaper but incredibly close as well as South Bellevue (with Renton Schools). Just use an app like Hotpads and enter in all your parameters (sq ft, accepts dogs, rent max) and go from there. Eg: https://hotpads.com/15025-se-43rd-pl-bellevue-wa-98006-1n479cu/pad
What is your work location? Microsoft? There are good connectors service
Do NOT rent in Soma Towers. It's terrible community. Management and entire agreement and move in/out experience is terrible...
More like $4-5k for dog and backyard and bedrooms
Damn! I have been looking on Craigslist and saw some for around 2.5-3k maybe I’m missing something.
If you think about it, you can’t buy a house for less than $800k in a decent area. So yea rent will be high
