We are here in San Mateo visiting our kids and grandkids. Beautiful out here, weather has been perfect.
Looks like we'll be on our own Thursday, and we thought we'd rent a car and do an eagles' eye tour of this peninsula and environs, say Berkeley down to San Jose. We only have the one day, so we don't want to get too ambitious.
Our goals are two-fold: publicly, just to visit and see the area. Privately, to poke around a little so we can see what it might be like living around here some day in FIRE. I can see already that we are out of our price range most decent areas here on the peninsula.
Any suggestions for communities to look at (eventually, if not this week)? We can handle anywhere within, say, 90 minutes of San Mateo but sure like the cool breezes... I guess basically we're wondering if there is any possibility in the region for reasonable living. Don't have a specific price in mind, but $1m is a nonstarter for us.
Thanks for any tips.
