Mountain View vs Los Angeles -which is better?
Hi all, Just moved here 3 months ago and Homes are going for about $1,927,400 on average. The median home value here is around $1,927,400, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $2,975 for rent here. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good schools
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Hot summers
- High property taxes
- Chain restaurants dominate

I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
