Remote worker thinking about Cupertino

Hi all, Homes are going for about $2,000,001 on average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Am I overthinking this? The suburbs are where most families end up. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value traffic, you'll love it. The pet-friendliness is genuinely better than expected and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (Riverside) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Chicago, be prepared for the culture shock. job market is completely different here. And Not a lot of cultural diversity.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
