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 ?

Your wife’s office and the Netflix office at Los Gatos are literally at two ends of the bay.

We moved closer to my workplace as our kids went to school close to our home. One of us needed to make that sacrifice of being of the road for an hour, while the other would be closer to home/ school in case of emergencies.

For midway areas P1s suggestions are great, or look at areas in east bay on 880/17 (Fremont, maybe?)

Agree with living near one person's work because of childcare. We've always done that.

San Jose might be a good spot because of the commuter rail. Much more family friendly area as well.

Looking for perspective from desi 🐠 here (I’m Pakistan FWIW):

Recently, I read in another bowl that children are not required/obligated to shoulder the responsibility of looking after their parents. Pretty sure this was stated by a gora or non desi person.

How do you all feel about this? Agree at all? Asking because traditionally in our culture, it’s pretty much set as an expectation to do so. But it’s also easier said than done.

Welcome any and all insights on this.
