Raising a family in Kirkland -thoughts?
OK so Just moved here 11 months ago and You can expect to pay around $2,342 for rent here. Household incomes average around $143,533 in Kirkland. Homes are going for about $1,022,500 on average. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Easy commute
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
