How do you like living in San Jose, California? |
Travel Info What are the best and worst things about it? Is it a boring or interesting place to live? What are the best, worst, and in between neighborhoods to live in? What's the political climate like? Travel Tips San Jose is okay. I was born and raised in San Jose. Moved to Sacramento for a few years and came back. Honestly, I only live here because my family does otherwise I would live somewhere that housing is more affordable. San Jose has pretty much whatever you could want - malls, movie theaters, golf, miniature golf, bowling, water slide park, mountain hiking, parks, etc. San Francisco is about an hour drive and the beach is about a 30 minute drive. It almost never snows (something like once every 20 years), there is not a lot of rain, there are not typically many 100+ degrees days although the last couple of years we did have a heat wave that lasted a couple of weeks each summer. It is an expensive place to live. The average rent for a 2 bedroom is $1500. You can find some cheaper but they may not be places or areas you would really want to live at. As with most big cities there is crime. However, there is no more crime than any other comparable size city. We don't have four distinctive seasons like other areas do. The people are not as friendly as in other states. Traffic can be horrible at commute time. Expensive but very nice areas near San Jose are: Los Gatos, Saratoga and Monte Sereno Moderate expense and nice areas would include: West San Jose, Campbell, Cupertino, parts of Sunnyvale and parts of Santa Clara. Places that are cheaper but less desirable: East San Jose, South San Jose and parts of Milpitas There is mix of political views here. Most people I run in to do not talk politics as people seem to be pretty set in their views of things. Hope that helps you. If you have more questions send me an email. Others ooh ohh!! I was soo born there!!! My brothers live there, my Mom loves it, suny but this winter lots of rain and wind surpisingly. It is a great place. But I don't live there. People are frindly and it's always bbeautiful out. my cousins live there I have been there many times it is great The south bay has so much going for it. Fantastic weather. Wide variety of high quality ethnic foods. Outstanding parks; access to beach and mountains. Many world class employers. Excellent universities. Only real problem is the high cost of living. There is a wide range of housing prices depending upon where you wish to live. Consider Campbell, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, etc. There is nothing really all that spectacular about San Jose itself, but it's location is fantastic. San Jose is a 40 minute drive from the beaches of Santa Cruz, 45 minutes from San Francisco, 4 hours from Lake Tahoe and Reno, 5 hours from L.A., and 8 hours from Las Vegas. If you are planning on moving to San Jose, I would stay away from central and eastern parts of the city. The suburbs of San Jose are very nice. San Jose is liberal, but tends to be more conservative than the rest of the bay area (which is extremely liberal). You will also find people from every corner of the earth living here. I love it! Weather is decent and nothing bad hardly goes on. |
