| *Travel Tips>>>San Francisco Travel Tips |
I am moving to San Francisco from NY. My job will be Pleasant hill Where's a great place to live? |
Travel Info Its just me and my GF and two 125lb dogs. Lofts are nice....any suggestions? Convenience is a must! Travel Tips try getting a place in berkeley. berkeley is realy nice you can have plenty of nice times with your friends and there is a huge waterfront park for dogs called the marina. yu have veiw of the whole bay. you all so have bart connection every where. i suggest buying or renting a home in the north side of dwight way , south side of university ave, west side of sacremento , and east side of san pablo. this is the very center of berkeley that offers everything. very close to 4 th street shopping district near the railroads Others if you want convenience, then live in Pleasant Hill. San Francisco is a lovely, expensive city, but not for 2 big dogs. You should look at Walnut Creek, right next to Pleasant Hill. It's one of the Bay Area's best suburbs and a destination for a lot of people in the East Bay. It has a big downtown with tons of shops, restaurants, cafes, movie theater and a performing arts center. There is good nightlife on weekends. Good schools and lots of parks and open space to take your dogs. There are lots of trails that go thorugh town that can take you out into the open space. There are also tons of condos and apts within walking distance of downtown and the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) station. Depending on where your job is in Pleasant Hill, you might be able to take BART from WC to PH and walk or take a bus. BART is also really convenient for trips into SF. Walnut Creek is a little pricier than Pleasant Hill but it's a really nice, safe community with a lot of things to do there. There are also a lot of condo's and apts near the Pleasant Hill BART station which is on the north end of WC. They are also building a new transit village at PH BART which will add to the appeal of the area. You can check out WC's website at http://www.ci.walnut-creek.ca.us/.... Live in the suburbs near your worksite and take BART in to SF on your day's off. That would be the best of all worlds. Coming from NY, Sf will be a step up. But if your job is in Pleasant Hill Why live in SF? I would rather look for a place out there near work... Do you realize the commute time involved? Moreover, you must consider your two large dogs--- cooped up in an apartment. That would not be fair to your dogs.... P. Hill is a nice location. Depending on what your willing to spend on rent or mortgage.. I like Moraga, Lafayette. A little pricey,but worth it. Other areas not so expensive, Antioch, Oakley good places for dogs.. the commute on Hwy 4 is brutal to and from P.Hill,but the homes are not nearly as expensive. you should try the east bay, unless you want a 25 mile horrendous commute. Pleasant Hill is located in nice suburb area which includes walnut creek lafayette, concord, clayton, etc. You will not find any lofts. As it is primarily a bedroom community. |
