Hey, just got a job at big G in Sunnyvale. TC is 310. Moving from Irvine but previously was in seattle, so I have no idea of the south bay. No kids, so I dont care about good schools. Looking for the following: Walkable to gym, groceries (I can just get them delivered if needed I guess though), preferably cool area with some restaurants shops etc around Not an awful commute via walking, bus, gbus, vta, or cheap uber (30 min or less ideal) Pretty high budget (willing to pay $3500) because I want something nice (dont know anyone so gonna be in my place a fair bit) I don't and can't drive (low vision issue) so walkability is critical Any advice?? I had looked at near Murphy st in Sunnyvale and Castro in MTV but the nice apts around there dont seem to have any availability. Thanks!
Villa del Sol near Murphy st. It is near caltrain, shopping and Google SVL office. 2b/1b is 3795. I suppose it is as walkable as it gets in SVL...
Yeah I was hoping to stay under that (and dont need 2b or 1k sqft). Good option though for sure.
Hey boy where your yoe.

Is your vision not correctible with glasses? If I may ask what’s the reason for low vision? As someone with high myopia, one if my biggest fears is ending up with poor vision that will restrict my activity. Sunnyvale downtown, Mathilda, Castro, Cupertino downtown, Palo Alto downtown
It's just degeneration over time. I'm on some trial stuff so it isnt getting worse for now. Doctors recommended not driving and I havent since high school anyway
What's your age op? Just curious you don't have to say if you don't want to
With your TC, I'd buy new eyes. Why are being such a cheapo. 😋
Check out Avalon at Alameda in San Jose. Not a highly upscale apt but rents would be lower as well. You can walk to WholeFoods and SJ diridon station in 10-15 mins. Bus stop right outside the apt. And VTA bus 22 runs all night on El Camino. It can take you to Downtown SJ in no time. The other option could be the Apts in Santana Row near the Valley Fair Mall. Those are quite upscale and pricey but you would be right in the midst of everything.
Encasa is beyond pretentious and outside op range.
You should consider leaving this state at some point, if possible. California doesn’t have walkable cities and the Bay’s public transit is mediocre at best compared to other parts of the country. For a young, high earner that wants a high quality of life without living through traffic in a mundane, beige suburb, DC and NY are the places to be.
Dc is honestly the best for young professionals. Not sure about sustainability though. Most people don’t stay there more than 5+ years so your friend group changes pretty regularly. Still my favorite city though.
Check the ones on Evelyn...close to elcamino for groceries and restaurants.
Is that in Menlo park then? Hows that commute?
No... Sv
