And nothing can make up for the shitty Chicago winter. What good is anything when it's so damn cold and windy that your always inside during the winter.
Yes they are. The neighborhoods I posted are more conveniently located, are more luxurious, have more architectural character, and cost less.
The view of the ocean from Lake Tahoe is breathtaking.The coastal stretch between Santa Barbara and Lake Tahoe is pretty nice...with the Bay Area/Berkeley in the middle of it all. Yes, it is very nice. If you can afford it.
If you can live in SF for $800/month and don't mind the living situation, that is an incredible deal. Take it and enjoy an awesome city for a few years.
What part of SF is your dad's place?
People yap about "oh we got a beach and blah blah." How many of those people can afford to live on the beach? Hardly none.
The view of the ocean from Lake Tahoe is breathtaking.
Aren't there people who live 10-20 minutes from the beach and don't have to pay anything more than say 300k? Because that would perfectly fine. A lot on LI are here for the beaches. And the proximity to everything NYC has to offer.
It is in both CA and NV. Stateline runs through it.Uhhh, Lake Tahoe is in Nevada.
Yes, but Long Island is dreadfully boring. A giant suburb and a million miles from Manhattan, which is mindbogglingly expensive.
And yes you can pay $300k in LA, for a studio apartment.
You're telling me there's nowhere along that whole coastline that has beaches 20 minutes from a nice suburb that is affordable (< $500k)?
House or condo? The latter is doable. House...a bit harder.You're telling me there's nowhere along that whole coastline that has beaches 20 minutes from a nice suburb that is affordable (< $500k)?
^ I guess I was just dreaming when my brother lived on Mission Village Drive in SD. Traffic there was overrated.
Have you ever been to CA? It depends on time of day but I can make it to Newport from Fullerton in 20-25 minutes...takes about an hour around 5 or so but still isn't the end of the world.Nowhere near a major city, no. Unless you're talking a small 1 br apartment.
Remember though, 20 minutes in CA traffic means less than 3 miles.
According to Google, that's about 5 miles, straight line, from the ocean. About 12 miles on the street. Probably an hour drive during rush hour.
Furthermore, SD is one giant suburb. Like Phoenix with an ocean.
Nowhere near a major city, no. Unless you're talking a small 1 br apartment.

Hey JMapleton, I know I asked you this throughout the years, but I don't think I've ever gotten an answer, but, do you still live with your parents?
California is the crown jewel of these here United States.
Twixt Cali and Nevada. But it's not on the coast is the point.Uhhh, Lake Tahoe is in Nevada.
Have you ever lived in or even visited California? You have no fuckin clue!
Traffic in Silicon Valley/Bay Area/SF is not that bad, sure its, bad but no major city is without significant traffic now-a-days.
