Wife and I like palo alto. We heard the elementary schools are great , even compared to cupertino sd. we have a toddler , planning for one more kid). spouse’s daily commute to google(sunnyvale) doesn’t seem to be terrible . should we consider paying 6k in rent for a 3bd ??? are we crazy to be spending so much on rent ? TC( combined) : 450k
6k is ok. If you buy you will spend 12k for mortgage...
Drug use is high in middle schools, as well as depression. Stick to private schools when your kids are old enough. For high schools, Paly/Gunn are not actually that great education wise, I attended and found it lacking in comparison to my overseas private school, more lacking than you would expect considering the rankings.
Our kid is only 3.5, aiming for elementary schools
I personally think 6k in rent for a 3bd is pretty good for palo alto! rent is crazy all over the bay area! i live in palo alto and have kids in elementary school. if you want, message me and i can try to answer questions.....

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Lifestyle in Palo Alto is really sweet. I mean like anywhere in the world you still have to watch out but it’s pretty safe and it’s unique to living in other cities in the bay.. I’ve lived in other places in the bay and life style here is unmatched. Nice neighborhoods, etc etc
