What Renters Like and Dislike About Bellevue

They are helpful and get me what I wanna and their children are smart and whow what they can do in realistically life

I like that it's a cul de sac because it feels safer. And it's really close to the freeways so you can get anywhere fast. Decent shopping nearby.

It is very convenient to everything it's a great location especially to work and back location location location

I have lived in my neighborhood for over 30 years. It is a community of friends and neighbors. People want to know each other and help each other. I love the unique outdoor space in my neighborhood. There are a variety of great restaurants and shops nearby. I love that the library and grocery store are both an easy walk.

I like that it's downtown, yet not as busy as the bigger cities nearby. Lots of shops and places to eat, things to do, etc. also a great neighborhood to walk in which is important to ms

Nice place for the kids to play around. There is a gym in the community which marks it good for the poepl In around the place.
