It can be tough moving to a new city or state, and it can be even tougher trying to determine which neighborhood is best suited to your needs, especially if things like education and health care are a factor.Here are a few suburban gems of Seattle that might help in the decision-making process:Kenmore is located on stunning Lake Washington and features parks, an 18-mile paved trail, award-winning businesses and has a highly recognized school district. Kenmore itself has several neighborhoods which include Arrowhead, Inglewood, and Northlake Terrace.Bellevue is home to a park system that encompasses 2500 acres and one of the best school systems in the state both of which make this urban neighborhood one of the most popular in King County. Bellevue’s downtown is ranked as the second largest in Washington and the city is the sixth wealthiest of Washington’s 522 communities.Mercer Island (which is a true island community on Lake Washington) is ranked extremely high in categories such as schools, crime, and easy commute; but because the median home price is just a whisper away from a million dollars, it loses some of its desirability.Shoreline has been named Best Neighborhood by Seattle magazine since the city has a strong reputation for excellent schools, a wide range of parks, and is predominantly single-family residential.The greater Seattle area has a lot to offer and the above are but a small sampling of the many desirable areas to consider if relocating to the area.
