APARTMENT HUNTING IN SEATTLE + the one I chose!

[@lilynguyen7782]

I love watching these videos but part of what these apartment tours helpful or entertaining is knowing the price and/or area of these apartments. That was the only thing I wish you added to the video.

[@natc.5940]

I don’t know if someone else said this already. When we asked about the price changes in the summer, one complex told us it is Amazon. They rent a ton of apartments for their summer interns, which leaves fewer units on the market, so they are more expensive.

[@parisrandall2816]

Yes and medical school interns as well from my understanding. On top of that school is getting out, families have more free time (generally) people are graduating and moving away, people are moving in before the new school year, and it's just overall more pleasant to move when it's warm instead of lugging couches around in cold rain. Oh the joys of supply and demand.

[@stephanieok5365]

Once you're moved, you may like Daiso for cheap, convenient organization solutions. Lynnwood location currently has the best overall stock but the one that opened near Shoreline is not bad either.

[@romiparis8579]

Can you list the other locations in the description??? pleaseeeee

[@Justus_Crabtree]

Im moving to seattle on the 30th and looking for a place. Can you share any of the locations you toured? I like a lot of these!

[@stephanieok5365]

You are correct about the pricing differences! I worked in a leasing office for a little bit in Redmond, WA. Nov-Feb had the best prices while May-Sept had some of the highest. Another factor that can impact your pricing is the number of available units and how long units have been on the market. I got a great deal on a move in February when three 2B1B units were all available for rent. Happy to chat sometime if you have any questions about the different areas or property managers. 👍

I don’t know how I stumbled across this video but I’m here and enjoyed watching this. But just as a little tip, gas stoves (the ones with the coils) are actually much cheaper than electric! A good way to save money.

[@SeattleBlythe]

Hopefully in a few years you can buy something. I purchased a new condo about 23 years ago and it was the best thing I've ever done.

[@adboss10]

Great job but you gotta include prices, at a minimum, and locations to actually make this valuable for someone looking. Otherwise it's just entertainment which is fine and might be your objective.

[@CallMeNains]

We stayed in Seattle for 8 months after my husband had a kidney transplant. We stayed in several buildings. They all had their pros and cons. Plus we have an almost 2,000 sqf house, to apartments that were between 450-700 was pretty hard!!! lol Loved seeing all of the places you checked out!

[@i5263sweets]

The outdoors space…. A umbrella table and chairs it will make you feel better coffee on the patio. If you don’t like it in a year move , plus tip for remove and save the hardware and buy some black ones you love. Save the apartment make your place yours good luck

[@the_caffeinated_hustle]

Thanks for posting! Fellow Seattle woman here who will be looking in the next year or so to rent a 1 bedroom. What website did you use to find the apartment listings?

[@KyanaKay]

@@the_caffeinated_hustle apartments.com is my personal favorite!

[@stephanieok5365]

I'm not sure this is still the case but the weirdest thing I learned at a leasing office in 2019 is that we actually use Craigslist and update regularly.

[@the_caffeinated_hustle]

@@stephanieok5365 I am always sketched out by craigslist but super helpful to know there are accurate listings on there.

[@Anngrl69]

As a local, I recommend Zillow for transplants and Craigslist for locals. Craigslist has amazing gems occasionally, but many many scams. If you don’t know every neighborhood or sketch area, then you may land yourself in a bad spot.

[@mmymoye]

Nice, looking forward to the moving / decor content!

[@KyanaKay]

thanks, me too! 😍

[@tams6342]

Most people move in the summer and rents always increase that time of the year

[@LJ-ld1lp]

So excited for you 🎉

[@KyanaKay]

thank you!! ❣️

[@supervixen8556]

What neighborhoods and prices are these apartments? Are you renting or buying?

[@dylanflynn1]

Omg it's killing me because I can't figure out the one you chose!!!! Please post! Thank you!

[@Itsallgonnabeokay]

This video is pretty pointless. Why did you not show location or pricing? Poor choice. 😢

[@stephanieok5365]

I mean, probably for doxxing and privacy reasons. I'd not expect details until after they move and only for the ones they didn't go with. 🤔

[@evelynsch0]

i think so, at least put the price and location (area)

[@wakandaforever4291]

Im glad i read the comments before i wasted my time watching this.

[@supernovahoneyable]

more expensive 🤩

[@sammyg2808]

How is the bedroom without a window legal!? Genuinely curious

[@qfason5836]

I feel like expectations must be low if having a window in the bedroom is a big plus 😅😅 I think you probably chose patio but I would choose cheap because you will only really wanna use a patio a few months out of the year in Seattle.

[@AlyssaCarter-m1i]

Windows in bedrooms in Seattle is definitely a plus. It’s slim pickings out here 😭😭

[@qfason5836]

@@AlyssaCarter-m1i dang 😢

[@EEmusic1]

Prices, please.

[@whitneylee5993]

Noticed slate apartments possibly

[@anthonyhumphrey2540]

What’s the name or the place in Seattle you chose

[@AlyssaCarter-m1i]

Why would she share that info?

[@Trishthedish9271]

I just ran across your channel and I’ve enjoyed your content, but Please , Please don’t let your cat outside. I had outdoor kitties and it’s not safe for them out there.

[@margeeeeS]

Hi Kyana, ive lived in Seattle all my life and AC units are not required in Seattle. Most apts do not have because it doesnt get hot enough. Its a gorgeous city. I know you will love it.

[@wafflesandslagroom]

This video isn't very watchable without pricing! Even a ballpark range would be helpful.

[@Thepreciousedit]

More expensive unit

[@lcalvin9182]

You don’t wanna live here!!
