Our Take
Bellevue is a high‑income, walkable hub with top‑rated schools and a robust tech economy, but the price tag and traffic make it less appealing if you’re not already in the industry. It’s solid for families or young professionals who can afford the premium. If cost or commute to Seattle is a deal‑breaker, consider alternatives.
