Honest thoughts on life in San Leandro
Hey everyone, I'm single, late 40s, and Median household income is $98,063, which feels pretty solid for the area. Homes are going for about $813,600 on average. Rent is about $2,115/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. With a population of 88,531, San Leandro is a smaller city. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low crime in most areas
- Walkable downtown
- Plenty of shopping options
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- High property taxes
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
