My Housing Story

Hi,

I moved to Bellevue area for its great community, and I felt in love with it even I can't afford buying a house, I'm still hoping to find something affordable, and I didn't give up hope.

Priced out of my hometown

I was born and raised in Bellevue. I loved the parks, safe neighborhoods, and excellent schools.
