I just got a new job in SF and was wondering where I could live. My starting salary is 65K and my wife and I will be moving out in April.
The job specifically is in downtown Oakland. We have a two-month old daughter so good schools are a priority. Where is the best place considering:
-access to BART
-shopping, supermarkets, etc.
-access to trails, hiking, etc.
-low crime
-good schools
-cost of living
we would ideally like to find an apt at first (1 or 2 bedrooms) under maybe a corporate lease and then move into a house after that. We would prefer east Bay but other ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Help a brother out here!
