Rent in Redmond/ Seattle

What's the rent for a decent to good 1 bedroom apt in Redmond area? Is Redmond cheaper or more expensive compared to other areas in and around Seattle.

2k for one of the newer apartments. Redmond is quite expensive, finding something cheaper usually means commuting for 20-30 mins.

When I lived in Redmond, our rent jumped to $2K/month. Newer kitchen with stainless steel appliances and vinyl “hardwood” in bathroom and kitchen. W/D, 2 BR, and carpeted floor plan. Nice gym, indoor pool, and indoor basketball court. When it got to that price, decided to buy a house - that was 2.5 years ago.

Timing is also an important factor. Spring/Winter usually gets good price.
