Every condo is different, but in that price range, you should expect the average condo to offer a full sized kitchen, multiple bedrooms and full baths, a large den, and a covered garage.

Investing in Bellevue Real Estate

If you are entertaining the idea of a condo, know that you’re not alone. Condominium sales in Bellevue have been growing significantly over the past 10 years.  Between the high maintenance of a traditional house and the increasing popularity of minimalistic lifestyles, condos are in high demand, both around the country and in the city of Bellevue.

What that means for you is that your purchase of a condo in Bellevue is a very strong investment. For example, while you won't find a lot of houses near the Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar, the #1 restaurant in the city, you will find some beautiful condominium homes nearby. And living in this area also means that you are only about a block or so from the Bellevue Arts Museum as well.  Bellevue’s condominiums and townhomes are ideally situated near shopping centers, restaurants, and freeway access for easy commuting.

In 2016, Bellevue ranked #2 best place to live in the United States, according to Livability.com. A condominium in a city that is this desirable to live in is almost certain to prove to be an excellent investment.

Yes, You Can Have Pets in your Bellevue Condo

No, you can't keep horses at your condominium home, but Bellevue, like much of western Washington, is very pet friendly. When it comes to more traditional pets, though, many condos give you as much flexibility in pet ownership as a traditional house would. Bellevue is a wonderful city for dogs and cats, and condo boards understand this, usually permitting condo owners to keep these types of pets for little to no additional fees.

The only limitations you can expect on pets are based on size and noise. Loud pets like birds may be a problem, depending on the thickness of adjoining walls. And larger pets, usually dogs, may not be suitable to some condos. However, just because you have a loud or large pet that doesn't mean the condo life can't be for you. There are a fair share of condos in the city with very pet friendly policies just waiting for your family to move in.  You’ll want to work with your Real Estate Broker to identify the right complexes for your pets.  This information isn’t often listed in advertisements, but your Bellevue Broker can get you in touch with the right groups to identify pet friendly buildings.

Simply put, in this price range you should easily be able to find the amenities you want without having to displace the furry, scaly, or winged members of your family.
