I need help (Foster City and surrounding areas)

azzyberry · September 2013

Hi Everyone,

I'm a long time bumpie - usually spend my time on the Parenting board or my BMB. I was hoping I could get some advice/help from you all. We just found out a few days ago that my DH's job is relocating us to their corporate office in Foster City from Seattle. I'm originally from SoCal but I'm not familiar with the bay area at all. We will be moving in a few months. I was hoping you might be able to suggest some cities/areas near Foster City (with in 20 miles) that are nice/good places to live and that have good school districts.

Any suggestions you have are greatly appreciated. Thank you

If you want to be close to Foster City, consider Foster City, San Mateo, Burlingame, Belmont, Redwood Shores, and Redwood City. If you don't mind a commute, you might be able to find some nicer homes that are more affordable in the East Bay, but again, the commute can be terrible. Avoid East Palo Alto (though Palo Alto itself is quite nice, though expensive).
