You might like Campbell. Awesome farmers market, good restaurants reasonable Bay Area rents, reasonable commute time to Apple, access to the Los Gatos Creek trail and a retail company (Sports Basement) in Campbell has a running group. Add this to your list of places to check out.
Congrats Intel gtfoer! Welcome to the Bay Area, now cry about the housing. Traffic is getting so bad here that a 30min commute from Cupertino means about a 9 mile or radius from HQ
thank you! waiting on my h1 receipt. cant really wait to schedule that high priority 1:1 with my manager and break to him that i am resigning. how about apple shuttles? can i take a shuttle and live 30 mins away from campus?
Gotta ask the Apple people for up to date info on where the shuttles stop, but usually they are for long distance commuters from SF or North East Bay like San Ramon. Not sure about shuttles for short distances (less than 10 miles).
Remington apartments
Oddly specific
:)
Whatâs the TC? 38% hike might still be low for Bay Area.
my current TC in austin is 135k and once i move to apple, its going to be 185k. i am hoping to be fine since i donât have a family to think about.
You'll end up paying ~10% more for ca tax. So that's a 25% hike with 120% hike on rent and 30% hike on normal expenses.
Los Gatos.
Budget 2.5-3k for rent with roommates. Palo Alto, Mountain View, Downtown SJ, Campbell (and their vicinity) in that order. Nothing can guarantee 30min commute unless you live at 'Remington Apartments' đor something bikeable! Go for quality of life after work hours.
palo alto os where i am planning to look.. i saw a 1 bhk apartment posting on craigslist for 1900/month. that sounds really low for the neighborhood. are there certain pockets i need to avoid? how do i make sure that the neighborhood is safe?
Yes, the too good to be true rents are in places where you may not want to live, like in East Palo Alto. Stay close to public transit and check out neighborhood details on Zillow. If school ratings for at least one school in the neighborhood isn't 7 or more, skip it - even though you don't have kids.
There are plenty of single Asian males in Sunnyvale. Youâll have your pick.
thank you for the info, but my post was mainly to get an idea about accommodation options and various activities to take part in.. i mentioned my age because i want to hang out people around same maturity levels..
Iâd say in general maturity levels in the Bay Area are pretty high, regardless of age. The high rent cost generally correlates with some type of responsibility. The immature partiers will be concentrated in the marina district.
I suggest housing in Cupertino or Sunnyvale if you want a short commute. I live about 7 minutes from work and it makes life much easier for me. 1 bedroom apartment will run you from 2.2k-3k depending on how luxurious your place is

Google CFO confirms 'large-scale' layoffs (Apr 17)
Are you looking for places that cater specifically to single females in their 30s? Also define affordable. Affordable 30 min from Cupertino equates to lux home mortgage in many parts of the country.
thats funny..i mentioned my age because i wanted to know about meet up groups for running with more people around my age..
Ok. Wasnât sure. Yeah be prepared to pay up. The TC adjustment may or may not have helped with your housing expectations. Just be prepared to pay a lot more than expected or drive a lot further (time wise). As far as meet ups be prepared to become an instantaneous goddess by virtue of being a female. Just lower your expectations especially if youâre moving from the east coast. The men here are very effeminate and insecure. On a positive note they can relate to many of the beauty products youâre accustomed to talking to your girlfriends about. Good luck!
