Hi folks! Me and my husband are planning to move from San Francisco to either San Jose/ Fremont/ Sunnyvale/ Mountain View.
Which place would you recommend especially for someone who is considering to start a family? Also any suggestions for apartments in these areas would be super helpful. Thanks in advance :)

Since the Lucid office is in Newark, i would suggest Fremont or North San Jose for proximity, Crescent Village or River View or North Park apartments or Rivermark area are great locations in North San Jose. In Fremont best areas are Warm Springs or Mission, Aya apartments is brand new and there is another new one opposite it forgetting the name , you can also rent a house etc which might be upwards or 3500 per month. Milpitas is another good option, lots of apartments and townhomes for rent.

Thanks so much for your detailed response. I am working remotely so commute shouldn’t be a problem. All good recommendations though :)

I would not choose Fremont. Lived there for years and there is nothing to do within the city, its an inconvenient distance from most places and traffic is particularly terrible (even by Bay standards).

It’s also pretty monoethnic, which could be a positive or negative for you, so just do some homework and see if it’s in line with what you want.

I liked Fremont. There are some apts near Elizabeth Park or Civic Center area. Mission San Jose is very nice as well. The only reason I moved to South Bay was the distance (I work in San Jose). If your company is located in Newark, Fremont is a good option. I don't recommend commuting between Newark and South Bay. Traffic is hell.

Yay! Come on over!! You really can’t go wrong with the South Bay - Los Gatos (gorgeous), Saratoga (gorgeous), monte Sereno (gorgeous), cupertino (very nice), Sunnyvale (quite nice), MV (very nice), Los Altos (gorgeous). Fremont = dump (sorry, but some areas are nice).

Gorgeous > very nice > nice > average > dump

I grew up in Cupertino, so I might be biased for recommending it…. but the neighborhood is really nice, short commutes to anywhere and the school districts are pretty good in my opinion

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

So I wanted to share my experience and see if it helps anyone else out there. I was not an alcoholic, but I was definitely alcohol abusive. I would go out and drink and then be completely blacked out and not remember anything. I would also do and say stupid things that just made no sense and I even got in trouble with the law a few times.

One day, my friend and I after a few day bender decided to take some LSD because we were hung over and just wanted to not drink and chill. (Cont.)
