Yet they're not too far from the city, are near frequent public transport, have a walkable environment, etc. Bellevue is fantastic. All the conveniences of the city, but you can still have a yard.

I lived up near Mason for most my life and really enjoyed the area while growing up, then as an adult I loved my cul-de-sac house, my yard, and the convenience of the big box shopping centers. But now since working downtown the past few years, and then moving to Bellevue, I enjoy the urban lifestyle so much more than I ever did the suburbs. At this point I could never see myself wanting to go back, there just too much good food, friendlier neighbors, and things to do in the urban core.<br /><br />I used to shop at Natorp's multiple times every summer since it was literally right down the street, I didn't even realize that location closed. I also don't recognize where that Bob Evans is/was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15373147012864858684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-17714054354735493612016-10-14T09:09:17.586-04:002016-10-14T09:09:17.586-04:00That's true, unfortunately there's not rea...That's true, unfortunately there's not really anything around it, but I guess up there that doesn't really matter.
