Housing market in Milpitas — is it worth buying?
Median home value here is around $1,180,000. Prices are steep but there are pockets of affordability. For those renting, typical rent is $3112.
Is now a good time to buy in Milpitas? Or better to keep renting?
Looking for opinions from both homeowners and renters.

As someone who moved here from Chicago, I can confirm most of this. The weather surprised me the most.

If you can afford it, Downtown is the best place to live. Period.

Rent tip: look for places in October-November. Prices drop and there's more availability.

Coming from Houston, the cost of living difference is noticeable. Groceries and gas are cheaper.

Moved here last year. No regrets. So many outdoor activities.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Pine Grove and Lakewood are perfectly safe.
