New house in Bothell vs old home in Kirkland
Price is almost the same.Bothell is $20K cheaper and looks fantastic. Kirkland looks dated (built in60s) and could do with a few updates. Which one would you rather?
Location, location, location
Seattle is even better.
Yeah if only I could afford Seattle. Only looking at SFH.
Kirkland
Bothell just sounds ghetto. When someone asks where youβre from? Id rather say Kirkland.
Bothell without a doubt.
What about Sammamish and Issaquah ?
They are boring countryside, man!
Whatβs the difference in your commute?
Kirkland obviously. All that matters is location. You can remodel the kirkland house, you cannot improve the bothel location.
Well the schools in Bothell are better compared to the Juanita area of Kirkland. My commute is almost equidistant. Bothell is up and coming and has a bunch of like-minded people in their early 30s which makes me feel like it has a lot of potential to grow compared to Kirkland which seems to have a much mature population. The neighborhood in Kirkland that I am looking at has mostly old retired or people in their late 40s or early 50s with grown up kids.
Looking at all the comments now and laughing. Hope you did buy in Bothell and doubled your house value.
