Been meaning to ask this. I'm single, late 50s, and Household incomes average around $250,001 in Los Altos. Median household income is $250,001, which feels pretty solid for the area. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want public transit, then yeah this place is great. But if school system matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I've lived in Greenfield for about 14 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Affordable housing options
- The cultural scene scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Limited shopping options
Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for couples. Feel free to reach out with questions..
