    Hi All,

    We are going to shift to Redmond from Bangalore in Nov as my DH has got a job in Microsoft. It will be really helpful if someone can help with the following. We have 2 kids, 6 yrs old son and 2.5 yrs old daughter.

    1. I saw a list of apartments suggested in the beginning of this thread..as it is dated in 2011, can someone confirm if they still hold good?
    2. Cost of living for a family 4, 2 kids. Rent for 2 bhk with basic amenities, schooling, transport, monthly groceries, medical insurance.
    3. Pls suggest some good schools in Redmond/Bellevue area, my hubby will be working in MS office located in One Microsoft Way.
    3. Do we have public transport facilities available like bus, train etc in Redmond or Bellevue? can we walk? I heard there are no pedestrian ways in many cities in US and we have to go by car. so I am asking this..

    Any information/suggestions on these will be of great help.. I am really getting anxious and nervous when I think of moving to US with 2 kids..thousands of miles away from our families.. Hope to find some good friends as well.

    thanks,
    Sumathi

    Hi Sumathi,

    Welcome to Redmond. Apartment rent is between 1700 to 2000$ for 2 bed 2 bath. As for as cost of living concerned, it depends on your life style. We are a family of three. My LO is 6 months old.

    For us groceries, comes around 500$ per month. We eat mostly organic foods. Many apartments are well connected with the bus services. So you can explore your options and you can buy a car based on that. You have lots of indian families here. So your kids will love it.

    Other Ilities has to throw suggestions on schools. I have no idea.

    The pedestrian ways neatly paved.You can walk. So, You can pretty much walk to nearer places.

    By the way, I am tamilian, moved from hyderabad 4 years ago.
