so happy to see you posting on this channel :') also i'm obsessed with how you decorated the new place!!

[@BrielleJuliet]

thank u bestie!

[@reggiemoon1763]

You only need ac for like a week or 2 so most apartments don’t have it.

[@sliceserve234]

Maybe 10 years ago, but with climate change there are now many Seattle summer days that are extremely uncomfortable without AC, not to mention the summers where we get weeks of heavy and dangerous smoke from wild fires.

[@BrielleJuliet]

@@jaswriting yayyy love that 🕺🏼

[@SconesandTomes]

[@emona820]

YAY WERE BACK WOOOHOOO Love a good main channel video

[@Claire-th7rs]

I just stumbled across your channel and I loved watching your apartment hunt. You picked a great unit! I’ve lived in Seattle for 2 years and love my place but it’s fun to see what’s out there. I hope you’re loving it here! 😊

[@BrielleJuliet]

@@Claire-th7rs totally loving it so far!

[@rebekahjoy]

Your new apartment is soo cute! Definitely would love to see some seattle vlogs 🥰

[@sliceserve234]

You are charming and made an interesting video. But as a lifelong PNW resident I do have to say it is depressing what real estate prices and inflation have done, every single place seemed like a cramped box for your budget, and I find that depressing!

I was surprised by how expensive these one bedroom units are! I just signed a lease for what I consider an affordable Capitol Hill apartment. $1700 for a 600 sq ft 1 bedroom with a great full size kitchen, large windows, and no carpet. The downsides are the lack of off street and on street parking and shared laundry in the building. But I don’t own a car and the unit is 3 blocks from the light rail station, so it was perfect to me. I jumped on this unit because every other unit in the area I liked went for closer to $1900.

[@sliceserve234]

@@Anngrl69 600 square feet and shared laundry for $1,700, in some ways a "bargain" in the market, but still exposing how crazy the market is.

[@Anngrl69]

Wow! The first unit is so nice, but Eastlake is a meh area in my opinion. Totally agree with your impression haha Eastlake is like a transplant neighborhood, you won’t find many locals that live there. Kind of like South Lake Union, but more affordable for the college aged residents.

[@lauraenglish-iz8dt]

Yesss, favorite serie!!!🫶🏻🍀

[@pahana]

Welcome! Glad you two found something you like. I live on top of Capitol Hill, being able to walk to everything is a huge reason I'm still here

[@BrielleJuliet]

love that!! I've been to cap hill a couple times since the move, very cute

[@AlyssaCarter-m1i]

Also in Cap Hill (well, first hill I think). Closest I could get to downtown with staying in my budget. I’m only a 15 minute walk to the waterfront though so can’t beat that! (:

[@Anngrl69]

@@AlyssaCarter-m1iDefinitely worth, especially with the new waterfront park!

[@michelle-ev3me]

[@BrielleJuliet]

[@RoseCruz-l4w]

[@SIMulatedSara]

Welcome to WA! I hope you love it here. Definitely a different vibe from LA, but you'll find lots of fun and cozy places to hole up and write :)

[@BrielleJuliet]

thank you!! really enjoying it so far. totally different vibe but very cozy :)

[@prateeksaxena7606]

The rents you posted, do they include parking? I'm finding that a lot of Seattle apartments charge extra for parking. I'm moving to Seattle in a few weeks as well (also from LA).

[@Adailyy_]

I've been contemplating moving to America for a couple months/years after i graduate from university and so far i see seattle every where. Someone said Settle and i heard Seattle and now you post this😂 Funny you say the location of the first place lost points but it's exactly my kind of place

[@BrielleJuliet]

the location of the first place was definitelyyy pretty im just somebody who loves walking to coffee shops lol

[@leticiaenglish169]

Hi from Bellevue, welcome to WA. These apartments were nice.

[@kelleyiswriting]

This video was so fun to watch!!!! Maybe we’ll be neighbors one day 🥹

[@BrielleJuliet]

omg!! I would love that... r u planning to be a Seattle resident?? :')

[@arturomoreno8692]

Hello, I am very interested in rent the first one, do you think that is possible to share the information about that apartment.

[@BrielleJuliet]

@@arturomoreno8692 Eastlake 2851 :)

[@Bien_AI]

#6

[@emona820]

My guess is apartment 4 based on the way you lit up at the location 🥹

[@BrielleJuliet]

yes ma'am

[@xcxNelsonxcx]

What area was option #1?

[@BrielleJuliet]

@@xcxNelsonxcx Eastlake :)

[@xcxNelsonxcx]

@@BrielleJuliet thank you soo soo much! You're videos are amazing btw!! I've been looking all around the Lake Union area and comparing!

[@susannahfriesenofficial]

hey! I wanted to message you on Insta but couldn’t find you so I’ll just comment, but I just want to thank you for posting your youtube adsense video (in a year). I watched the whole thing on my tv this morning, and it really helped me think of KZbin as a long burn sort of platform. I’m a bigger creator on Instagram and Tiktok and blew up pretty fast, which means coming over to KZbin, I expected the same. I used to post about a year ago, and then stopped and just posted my podcast episodes on here, then in August, got monetized, and decided to start taking KZbin seriously again. Dang, that was long. Anyways THANKYOU for providing a realistic pov into what a normal creator can expect in terms of adsense, growth etc 💛

[@BrielleJuliet]

@@susannahfriesenofficial of course!! I’m so glad you found that video valuable. I loved creating it and will def be doing another one at the end of the year. Best of luck with your channel!

[@susannahfriesenofficial]

@@BrielleJuliet thank you so much! you as well!
