How much do you pay for rent in Campbell?

I've been here for 11 years and The median home value here is around $1,550,000, which is pretty steep. Household incomes average around $147,128 in Campbell. Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Low taxes

Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Not very walkable
- Limited dining options
- Lack of diversity
- Few job opportunities in some fields

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a contractor who relocated here from Boston about 8 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good schools in most areas
- Four distinct seasons

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Property taxes are high

Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are stable, gas is underrated.

Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Definitely worth checking out..
