what are safe cities in South Bay? Looking for 2B2B apartment under $3500. Found a lot of options in North San Jose (Zanker and Tasman), but my car got broken into looking at apartments. Im now on the paranoid side as Ill be moving with wife and kids. What are some safer areas to consider within my budget?
Honestly, car break-ins happen EVERYWHERE. Even seemingly nice and boring areas like Sunnyvale have had the 711 held up at gunpoint multiple times in the last year. Nice houses in Woodside get robbed. The entire bay is low-key high-crime.
Yeah, I understand that it’s kind of inevitable. Even the city I’m in now is considered very safe and my neighbors house got looted. Just trying to reduce risk I guess.
South San Jose. Check out Santa Palmia near Cottle, lived there for 3ys before buying in the same locality, love it. Quite safe.
Thanks, I’ll check it out. Was also looking in Willow Glenn area
Who are these criminals doing break ins? Do they stay in Bay Area or just travel there for work ?
It's an organized crime ring that essentially hires these people (mostly not immigrants) to target stuff like passports and work laptops. They then ship these work laptops abroad en masse.
Car break ins are the norm everywhere in the Bay Area. Unless you’re getting a secured Parking spot with camera you set up it’s gonna be tough. Places that are gated are still suspect... because car break in is easy target for expensive and disposable stuff. Reality of life for everyone. Best advice = get a shitty and dependable car with nothing in it :)
Car break-in's can be avoided to an extent by taking some preventive measures. Don't leave any valuables in sight. Turn off all the electronic devices which are stored not in sight. Don't store bikes outside your condo/garage. Better not to have motor bike/soft top cars when you have no private garage. Don't leave car unattended for longer time on roads. When visiting places, Pay few bucks and always park in garage especially in SF. You can't avoid completely but you can reduce the risk. Communities wise, South Bay is not that bad in terms of security apart from car break-in's and occasionally homeless ppl sleeping in the patio's.
OP would you consider renting a Single Family House in Campbell, Cambrian area. PM me if interested. It is my own rental property. Thank you
