Any recommendations about good apt complexes around or not far from Cupertino? I need info on areas to avoid ( I've seen on blind that Milpitas stinks). I want something with a commute (to Cupertino) of 15-20 mins on a week day morning. Budget is $3200. Which areas and apt communities should I consider and is my budget reasonable?
You want to drive south in the morning and north in the evening, otherwise your commute will be terrible so your options are primarily Sunnyvale and Mountain View. 2BR is more in the $3400-4000 range right now, but the prices tend to drop somewhat in the fall and winter, so $3200 might be possible if you can find something temporary.
Thanks for the tip
At that budget and planned commute time, it'll be tough to find a good apartment. What are you looking for, in terms of amenities?
2 bathrooms, indoor washer and dryer
