Redmond Travel Forum

Hi,
Can anybody please answer the following questions for me?

1. Approximately on average how much does a studio or a single bed + single bath apartment cost in Redmond, WA .

2. Is the cost of living very high compared to places like Minneapolis, Minnesota. Approximately how much can it cost for a month for a single individual (average rent plus common living expenses ignoring any special personal expenses).

3. How is the climate of Redmond, WA ? Does it snow in winter or does it rain heavily?

4. Does Redmond by any chance have good public transportation like bus services etc.etc. or is it that a car is a must for moving around?

5. What are the places nearby Redmond by renting apartments where one will still not have to commute much in case office is in Redmond.

Thanks much in advance for all those reply. Please let me know soon.

I'll try to answer some of your questions. I'm not an expert on Redmond but have been there many times visiting my son who has been out in that area for 15 years. There isn't much snow but it does occasionally do that instead of rain. The rain in Redmond is mostly the drizzly sort with lots of weeks with gray skies - moderate temperatures a lot like London. I think it's probably more expensive to live there than in Mpls. (where my other son lives). The standard of living is fairly high in the Seattle area. I'd recommend having a car. Other nice, nearby towns are Bellevue, Woodinville, Kirkland.
