I recommend Los Gatos. There are definitely affordable options that hi to 10/10 schools.

Family not providing housing.

I am willing to commute up to an hour, just need good schools.

So I guess our housing budget wood be $1.1 M, with $400k DP and $275k salary?

Housing is more expensive you will need to make double

Is family providing the housing?

Bump?

We are looking to move closer to family. I currently make $150k, we live in Burke (saved for a while so had $200k DP so mortgage only $400k) and DW stays home.

We are looking to move for a job in Bay Area where I would work in Santa Clara, the offer is $275k, and wondering how this compares. Housing seems pretty expensive so likely will have a commute?

How lateral a move is this, where could we live on a $275k salary?

We have family nearby which is part of motivation.
