Cannot afford a decent house with good schools in Bay Area. Looking for some suggestions on cities or areas in Seattle for 4 bedrooms SFH with good schools. Budget is 1.2M. I don’t need to commute to office for now. I never been to Seattle. From Redfin it seems that Mill Creek is a good option. TC 600K YOE 8
R u trying to buy all cash? 1.2 budget on 600 TC? Forever home or investment for a few years?
Wouldn’t call it forever home because I’m not sure how long we will stay in Seattle. But it should be a good primary residence for a few years at least
Airbnb pays 600k for 8 yoe? No 🧢?
Why not pay for private school with that TC
Bothell, Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Sammamish all are decent areas with good schools
You can find decent house most of the Seattle area except Medina, Bellevue, Mercer Island
Issaquah highlands
terrible HOA in issaquah highlands.
with that TC I would live in Kirkland
My TC is inflated due to IPO. TC cliff coming soon and then I’m just an averaged tc guy
For folks suggesting locations. Is 1.2M enough to get good commute and schools for seattle office?
Issaquah, snoqualmie, north bend for Seattle side. Bainbridge island has good schools and great if you don’t need to go into the office
