Moving to the Bay Area this summer from chicago. Any recommendations for good luxury apartments in Palo Alto, Redwood City or Mountain View? Also how critical is it to have your own car? I live in downtown chicago currently where everything is walking distance

Why not SF? That’ll feel closer to Chicago (though transit isn’t nearly as good). Everywhere else you definitely need a car.

Same situation, moving from Chicago to SF in summer :) based on what I’ve seen so far, you’ll definitely need a car if you live outside of downtown.

You need a car in those places

Currently living in Redwood City with no car and it's been mostly fine if you're okay sticking local. However, a car would be nice if you want to explore the rest of the Bay Area. Lyfts/Ubers can get pretty expensive and train service doesn't come often enough to be reliable outside of peak hours. PM me if you want more details.
