Moving to the Bay Area fall this year from the east. I’ll be working out of Los Gatos and my wife out of San Bruno we have two kids (4 and 2). Looking at the move to the west as short term (~2 yrs) and looking to rent a place for now (2 or 3 bedroom max). Anyone have recommendations on places around the Bay Area to rent so it’s an easy commute for my wife and me (max 3 days a week in the office) as well as for a family. Thoughts ?

Literally any city along the peninsula between Los Gatos and San Bruno will be fine for your needs except maybe East Palo Alto or shoreview area of San Mateo. The major hotspots between the two would be San mateo and Palo Alto.
