Picture this: It’s 5:00 PM, and the kids are playing in the backyard with neighborhood friends while Dad works on dinner and Mom finishes a conference call in the at-home office. The greenery and landscaping invite you to step outside and join the next-door neighbors to watch the sunset. That scene doesn’t necessarily require a suburban house, a large down payment, or a move away from all your favorite places. Young professionals want options that let them maintain an urban lifestyle as their families grow. Apartment developers are building communities with this group in mind, and AMLI Redmond Way is leading the charge with incredible family-friendly touches worth exploring.
As desirable Puget Sound communities grow, locals are searching for places that can accommodate them while keeping them close to friends, cultural events, restaurants, schools, and employers. AMLI Redmond Way has recognized this opportunity and created an incredibly welcoming space for families in the Redmond area. People don’t have to leave urban centers to find the community and family-friendly living spaces they want.
Matt Elley, the Senior Vice President of Development, says, “AMLI Redmond Way apartments were crafted with families in mind. We wanted to offer an alternative to the suburbs for those folks who enjoy an urban lifestyle. Located in the heart of Redmond Town Center, it’s close to everything: parks, daycares and schools, public transportation, dining, shopping, and entertainment. All of it is just a short walk from our community.”
Family-friendly apartment amenities for kids of all ages
One of the biggest advantages of family-friendly apartment living at AMLI Redmond Way is the range of indoor and outdoor amenities designed with children in mind. These unique features give kids of all ages spaces for entertainment and enrichment. The Backyard is an outdoor courtyard complete with a playground and space for the family to relax. Eight units connect directly to this outdoor space, making it easier for parents to keep an eye on children while they play. The community garden gives families space to work on their green thumb and grow some of their own produce. Enjoy the Cul-De-Sac with restricted vehicle access and a basketball hoop for even more outdoor space.
The Free Play room is an excellent all-ages indoor play area for those colder or wet days and provides a collection of fun toys, building blocks, and a castle. Birthday parties are a breeze when you rent the private party room.
Don’t worry about bothering your neighbors when practicing instruments. The Sound Lab is a music studio that gives young and old the space to expand their musical expression. Plug in the bass or hop on the drum kit and let the beat pulse. A karaoke room is available for those who might prefer to be behind the microphone instead of an instrument.
Residents can also take advantage of the stroller parking, private offices with wi-fi, and two rooftops with great views and more outdoor space to hang out. The building has something for kids of all ages to enjoy.
Two- and three-bedroom apartments designed for families
Finding enough space for a growing family can be a challenge when renting, but AMLI Redmond Way offers two- and three-bedroom apartments in Redmond with features designed to make everyday family life easier.
In addition to the layout options, all units in the East building come equipped with flip-down child toilet seats, smart appliances, and excellent closet space. A full-sized washer and dryer help make laundry day simple. Smart thermostats and air conditioning help keep everything comfortable. The small details show how much the development was centered around families.
Building community through family-friendly events
AMLI Redmond Way community is constantly evolving and adding more events and programming to the calendar. The Summer Carnival was a highlight for many families in the building and the neighborhood this year, with over 100 attendees. The community hosts regular events perfect for all ages, like the Mother’s Day banquet, the upcoming Apple Wassail event, and a larger holiday party in the winter.
Kids are great social connectors, but the community also offers opportunities to meet other adults and families. Studies also suggest friendships form more readily between people who cross paths naturally and often. Community residents can take advantage of the shared spaces and build up those relationships naturally.
