Hayward and San Leandro have home prices 2/5 of SF and Mountain View. It's within a 45 min. drive to many jobs and a 30 min. BART (public transit) into SF.

- thehappypm 6y agoInteresting! How long does it take during a real rush hour? I can imagine that bridge is a nasty choke point. This is a problem with Seattle too -- there is plenty of cheap housing across the Sound in places like Bremerton, but they're a ferry ride away.
- reducesuffering 6y agoThe Bay Bridge on the east is definitely a choke point. San Leandro is closer and could take almost an hour driving. Hayward could take an hour but you also have the option of crossing the San Mateo bridge further south and driving up 101, especially if your workplace is closer to the 101 exits on the south side. Ultimately public transport on BART is likely going to be the faster option, since it’s 25-30 mins once you’re on the train.
