Lived there for 3 years or so. Loved it. Great downtown area, access to CalTrain, good restaurants, relatively more affordable, good weather.

California is expensive as shit lol

Also 3 days in kinda sucks

Awesome place. Tough to buy anything there but decent rental options.

I live in Mountain View. If you’ll be here awhile, you might look into buying a condo. Some on the market have dropped $100-$200k since Google still isn’t really back in the office. They are still expensive but worth at least looking into with rent prices. For example, this is my complex and I love my vaulted ceilings upstairs. Anyway worth looking around or seeing if owners are renting in these types of places too vs the high end brand new stuff (unless you want to be a high roller with your rent).
