Moving to Seattle. Studio and 1b1b are more expensive than expected.

From people living in Seattle. Leasing a place cost?

    Move out to Redmond/Kirkland. Nicer places, no homeless and you can take shuttles to work

    Don’t live in Belltown. It’s a fucking shit show out there. You can find 1bed apartments for 2-2.5k. Studios would be cheaper than that.

      Literal shit show. My first day in Belltown I had the pleasure of walking past someone taking a shit in the alley behind my building. Heard it before I saw it...🤢

      Things like that became a consistent experience. Not to mention crazies screaming at all hours of night.

      This was about 5 years ago and I assume things have only gotten worse.

      I'd recommend living near Northgate. I lived in greenwood for a bit and loved it. Plenty of space, cheaper rent, walking distance to green lake. Also only a couple min to North gate park and ride for an easy bus ride in to the city

    Consider Bellevue/Redmond rather than Seattle.

    If Seattle is your top choice then ask the leasing agents for current deals. You may get good discount for signing a longer lease or something.

    Other option is to lease from owners directly. I've found owners to be more flexible with the rent prices.

    If you are going to be in G in the Seattle side, shuttle will take 30-50 minutes one way from Redmond/Kirkland. Just FYI
