Places to live in Bellevue

Hi ladies,

There is a possibility of us moving to Seattle in a few months and I just wanted to scout for places to live, preschools, etc.

We are looking at the Bellevue neighborhood (my hubby will work in Seattle) and are planning to rent a 2bd/2bth apartment/condo/townhome. Our budget is about $1400-1600 and I prefer gas heat/cooking. In-unit W/D is a must! I find most of the apartments suggested in this forum have coil/electric range. How does it compare to a gas stove?

My son is 21 months old and I am looking for safe places to live that have good preschools/playgroups within a walkable distance.

P.S: If you are a Tamil/Indian Christian, can you also recommend a good church within this location?

Would love to hear from you all!

Regards,
CJ
