no, not by a long shot. It's expensive comparative to local socal jobs but not to tech salaries(both me and my wife work in bay area tech companies). For comparison I want to live in 3/3 bdrm house in a good school district that does not need a total overhaul. In the Bay Area, good school district cities (Palo Alto, Cupertino, Menlo Park, Los Altos, etc) all have houses priced close to $2M+ starting for a 3 bdrm house. In socal where I live now places are 800k - 1.1M and the schools are 9's & 10's. The mortgage we now have is 40% cheaper than the bay area house we had, and in the bay area all of our schools were 3's and 5's.
- r00fus 6y agoWow, do you mind sharing where you were moving from? Only 6-10 schools around me.
- outworlder 6y ago> and in the bay area all of our schools were 3's and 5's. That sounds more like the South Bay. Try East.
- nostrademons 6y agoMost of the South Bay is 8-10 for schools - it has literally some of the best schools in the country. Even in East Palo Alto you're looking at a 7 for HS. To get consistent 3-5s on the Western side of the Bay, you're probably in SF.
- nradov 6y agoThat's not true. There are many lower rated schools in Sunnyvale and San Jose. But it's inconsistent; there are pockets of high and low ratings even within single school districts.
