Mercer Island is a pretty nice Island. When I came in summer 2019 everything was new for me and I was surprised on how nice everyone is here. I'm originally from Germany. Other than from where I come from the people in the Neighborhood in Mercer island make you feel like you are a part of a community Family which I really like. The streets are all nice and clean. In every store you go into, you get welcomed and treated so good. It still amazes me every time I walk into a store on how happy and friendly everyone is.
Mercer Island has amazing weather, small beaches, beautiful houses, pretty nice public schools, short commute times, and friendly people. There's lots of cliques here, so it's important to find your people early on.
Things that I most enjoy are weather and friendly people. I'm an international student and my experience so far is great. People are kind and friendly, easy to talk to. And the weather is mostly sunny, which is kind of weird for the Seattle area.
Here, on Mercer Island, you can find an affordable place to live like apartments or houses which is really great for people who just moved here
