It's a place to Live, Worship, and Shop, according to their sign on 65.

lol, i've always hated that sign

Very safe, low crime, really nice Main Street area with lots of amenities. Close to the city and also shopping in the burbs. Lots of old houses which are beautiful but can come with “old house problems” such as poor heating/cooling efficiency and need for repairs/upkeep. Lots of the apartments are old houses split into duplexes and triplexes so you may run into that if you’re looking for a place to rent.

If you have kids (or plan to) be aware that the school district offers no buses or transportation and you’ll be responsible for getting the kids to school on your own.

It's fine. There's some sketch stuff that occasionally happens but that's bound to happen in any dense area. It's relatively walkable. Some areas don't require a car.

I will say, sirens are constant and aggressive. Someone lights a fucking match and every fire engine from everyone of the boroughs shows up and it's a total scene for an hour and a half. No clue why they do this.

It's otherwise fine.

Oh no. I'm actually dead. I won't belong! /j

My wife and I love it. Low crime, everything is walkable on main Street, close to the city, our rent is affordable.

looks like they lean into it. https://www.bonafidebellevue.org/house-tour/

Aspinwall's 102 company (the one behind the boro building) seems to respond to anything within a 45 mile radius... I feel your pain.

I like it. Fairly walkable in most parts of the borough, costs aren't extreme, there's an express bus to get Downtown if you have a 9:00 to 5:00 job down there, and drive times to many other places are relatively quick

202 Hometown Tacos…excellent place.

I moved to Bellevue about 6 months ago and have been loving it. There are plenty of walkable amenities and I make it to most places around the city in less than 20 minutes by car.

The only real complaint I have is the night life scene is kind of lacking. There are a plenty options to eat but not a lot of places stay open past 11pm.

I agree. I moved out here just before I turned 28, and at that point I was losing interest in spending weekends at the bar until 2:00 AM, so it being quiet over here wasn't too big of an issue for me, but it's not the best place if you're a sociable 25-year-old looking to go out and not have to deal with getting a DD or an Uber..

Wasn't Bellevue a dry town until recently or am I getting confused?

It was. Voters of the town finally lifted the ban in 2015.

Kind of a hot bed for registered sex offenders, but maybe that’s a selling point idk

Pretty recent. Should get a decent bar/pub some day soon.

There is the Lincoln Ave brewery, but otherwise yeah it could use a bar.

Tacos are overpriced and it's a Cleveland Browns hangout

Parentless children run rampant in the streets. There are more pizza shops than people. Other than that? It's whatever.

A Man Called Otto was filmed there

What, really?

If you have a dog it's an awesome place to walk. It's reasonably priced as far as rent and it's close enough to the city without having to pay 1% of your income. Crime is so so. Lots of car accidents on 65 adjacent to bellevue. Food is decent for takeout.

I'm confused my what you mean by "without having to pay 1% of your income."

The city's EIT is 3%, Bellevue is 1.5%, and the surrounding communities are all at 1%.

Yes that's correct.. I meant to type with only having to pay 1%. Also, didn't realize it's 1.5%, been a while since I lived there.

They have a pretty nice dog park.

Nice walking town. I walked to do everything. Don't know if it's still dry or not tho

eat pray love
