Folks in Bay Area... do you own a home here and if so what neighborhood is the best in terms of school district? I live in mtv and the home prices are scary to say the least. (2bed min)

Feel like I can never own a home 🙍‍♂️

Bought in the Mission a year ago. It’s technically a 2 bed but the second bedroom can only fit a double and you have to turn sideways 🤦🏻‍♀️ We were shocked that trying to get a second bathroom adds min $300K to selling price. We paid 33% over asking and think we overpaid, but given the news about all the IPOs, hoping it is a worthwhile investment!

Pleasanton. Bought in 2006. Great school district. Too bad I don’t have or wasn’t kids. Idk why I’m still out here

I don’t own but rent in Redwood City and the area here appears to be cheaper. I’ve heard the schools are meh though.

Christ im never going to own a home here
