Moving to Bellevue for Amazon – Apartment suggestions?

Hey everyone!

I’m moving to Bellevue in the first week of June for a role at Amazon and I’m currently looking for a 2B2B apartment within a budget of around $3200/month. Ideally, something with two similar-sized bedrooms (dual master would be perfect) so it’s easier to split rent with a roommate — but that’s not a dealbreaker.

I’ve browsed tons of listings online, but honestly, the reviews are all over the place. Some people rave about a place, others say it’s a nightmare — for the same apartment complex. It’s a bit overwhelming.

Would really appreciate any recommendations or honest feedback on places you like (or think I should avoid). I’m looking for:

• A safe, clean place
• Close to groceries/restaurants or a short drive
• Decent commute to Amazon’s Bellevue offices
• Not overly noisy, with responsive maintenance

Appreciate any advice, even if it’s just general tips on living in Bellevue. Thanks in advance!
