You actually might like San Mateo. Really easy to get to half moon bay using 92. Traffic isn't so bad going up to the city. Going down to mountain view / san jo

You actually might like San Mateo. Really easy to get to half moon bay using 92. Traffic isn't so bad going up to the city. Going down to mountain view / san jose it can get bad though. If you want better nightlife options you can live in millbrae and take bart up to the city. It is unfortunate but BART doesn't go all the way to san mateo.
