I grew up in Redmond and it’s a great place to live if you can afford it (it’s not uncommon to be surrounded by Teslas on the roads). It’s growing up more now with new apartment buildings going in, but there’s still not much to do in the city itself. That’s okay though, it’s surrounded by nature, other great cities like Kirkland, Woodinville, and Bellevue, and is only 20 mins from Seattle. It’s also super diverse, over 60% of students in the school district are non-white. There are tons of Indian and Asian people who work at Microsoft and Amazon, I sometimes feel like a minority as a white person, but I love all the different cultures. My only qualm is how liberal it is, I’m conservative and definitely don’t feel safe expressing my views because people can be pretty hateful. Also, the Seattle freeze is real and it’s really hard for newcomers to make friends. But overall, it’s a really lovely place to live!
Redmond is a beautiful, calm and relatively quiet place to live. It is quite safe, and has brilliant trees and open areas. Nightlife is poor, there are few good restaurants and not a lot of things to do. If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet place - Redmond would be it! I would not recommend if you are looking for hustle and bustle of a city... Redmond is more of a very small city or big town.
I love Redmond! I've lived here all my life and attended school here. I feel comfortable taking public transportation and am confident in my safety. In addition, Redmond is incredibly diverse allowing me to learn about other cultures at events. Another plus about Redmond is that there are so many trails and areas to walk around.
