[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a look at San Carlos too.

Where is your job? Commutes are getting bad. If you work in SF on the eastern side which is where most tech is located, you can take Caltrain in or BART from Millbrae. Keep in mind that you will need to get to the train station and parking fills up.

If you work in the Peninsula, live on the Peninsula. If you work in South Bay, live in South Bay. Do not consider east bay unless you know you will be working in east bay. The commute to the peninsula and South Bay is horrendous. I don’t know how people do it.

Wherever you choose, check flood maps and fire maps. A good portion of Los Gatos was recently upgraded to high fire risk which impacts insurance. A lot of areas on the peninsula are built into hills which can foundation and mudslide problems.

Don’t worry about going smaller or remodeling. You won’t be stuck in your house all year. Kids will hang out in the backyard, you’ll eat outside a lot and the outdoor space really becomes like another room. Remodeling is expensive but the appreciation is so high on real estate many people do it. [/quote]

I used to live in San Carlos, its a nice bedroom community. If you look there and plan to use public schools, pay attention to the school zone: some SC homes are zoned to RWC for ES and MS. The high school will be in either Belmont or RWC.
I would not commute from San Carlos (or Burlingame) to Sunnyvale, but that's me. [/quote]
