San Leandro quality of life -am I missing something?
Curious what people think. I've been here for 14 years and Household incomes average around $98,063 in San Leandro. Median household income is $98,063, which feels pretty solid for the area. Rent is about $2,115/month for a decent place. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Low crime in most areas
- Low taxes
- Lots of new development
- Plenty of shopping options
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Boring for young people
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Not enough green space
