What's it really like living in Bellevue?

Longtime lurker here, Poverty rate is 5.7%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,202 for rent here. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Is this normal for Bellevue? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is traffic. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.
