  • You can get nice 1000 sq feet 2 bed rooms from private owners for under 2k in Bellevue. Apartment complexes may charge a little more around 2200 for the same.

  • How big an apartment are you looking for ? You’ll be able to find something good , 2bd, in that budget easily in older apartments in Bellevue and Redmond, although you need to check on the individual schools in Bellevue, some are not so great.

      If your kid is smart you can look into the gifted program. If he/she can get in then your location doesn't matter since your kid will be exempt from location restrictions and be able to go to whichever school has gifted. Not sure which elementary school has it right now but Odle Middle School and Interlake High School are the middle and high schools that have the program. I think it got renamed to Advanced Learning Services a couple years ago and the policy may have changed a bit but gifted curriculum is no joke.

    • You can look at the individual school district websites for the coverage map, or something like schooldigger. That said, I believe most of Redmond is good anyway, so you can just look at places in Redmond.
