Is it worth buying in Daly City?
My family moved here when I was a kid. Household incomes average around $119,570 in Daly City. Average temperature is around 55--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $2,523/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Low crime in most areas
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
- Active local events
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Far from major airports
