San Rafael is underrated, change my mind
I work in marketing and The median home value here is around $1,246,200, which is pretty steep. You can expect to pay around $2,346 for rent here. Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Low taxes
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Homelessness issues downtown
