Renter fit
When renting here still pencils
Makes sense for households testing the school/commute fit before committing to a large purchase.
Commute note
Do not skip the real commute test
Useful bridge between South Bay and East Bay with BART access, but still a stretch for some Peninsula/SF workers.
Hidden costs
The median is only the starting point.
- Single-family prices can require jumbo-loan planning.
- Townhome HOA dues can change the affordability story.
- Traffic and bridge/toll patterns matter if work is not local.
