[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Home styles are different in CA,  people don't frown upon one-story no-basement homes over there, like they do here.  In fact, living in CA for over 10 years I didn't see any true basements in homes, it's mostly walkout lower levels on downsloping hilly lots, which is common there.  So, don't have a negative perception that you would be dowgrading, because you will be living in a home laid out like an apartment.  Honestly, I don't see how 1 mil 1200-1500 sq.ft or less small colonial/cape cod in Arlington, needing work,  is any better than a 1 mil fixer upper 1 story CA home in Peninsula burbs.

True, but with Arlington you are guaranteed a short commute, walkability, and metro access.  And those 1200-1500 small colonials for $1M are only in LV; there are lots of options in the rest of Arlington and Fairfax for $700-800k.

In Cali, you $1M is going to get you very little in almost all the suburbs (not just exclusive pockets).

And I curious how 'good' schools in Arlington/Fairfax compare to good schools in San Mateo/Mountain View?? Any insight?[/quote]

But you get awesome weather in California! Though I do hope it rains sooner than later...[/quote]
