[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So the offer came through, job is on the Peninsula, so I think that means schools may not be too bad.

Pay is $170k, so I think a house budget of $700k seems feasible? Would I be able to find a two or three bedroom condo or townhouse with good schools on the peninsula? Are there other cost of living items I might be shocked by?

Also, leaving Federal service after 10 years, but took FMLA at some point in between with leave without pay when my son was born (Fed 'maternity leave'),  does that time off push out the 10 year vesting date?[/quote]
schools *are* bad. most parents I know on the Peninsula are paying $30k+/year for private school. My manager is moving to a rental in los altos for public schools, not sure what he is paying-- probably $4k/mo.

You are not going to be able to buy anything other than a tear-down for $700k where there are good schools. East palo alto is no longer like anacostia but actually, they've both improved but anacostia may be better than EPA. Redfin will tell you what's available to purchase: https://www.redfin.com/city/17151/CA/San-Francisco/real-estate#!max_price=800000&num_beds=2&num_baths=2.0&v=8&sst=&lat=37.37758327871214&long=-122.13319610449668&zoomLevel=11&market=sanfrancisco
