[quote=AN]$450k for a 2/2 UTC is an exception. Most 2/2 in UTC are 200-250k (<1000 sq-ft) or $300-$350k(>1000 sq-ft). How big are the 2/2 in Redwood Shores? So, the $600k in Redwood Shores, Foster City, Mountain View are 2-3x more.
WRT to MM vs Milpitas, schools in MM is better. I can get to major tech companies in 3 miles while Milpitas is at least 10 miles to Mountain View and if you work around Palo Alto, then it’s much further. Then we get to the price. A 4/3 in Milpitas is currently going for $700-850k. Similar house in MM goes for $450-530k. It’s much easier to come up with $90-100k than $140-170k.[/quote]
Well I wouldn’t say it’s a fair apples to apples comparison you’re describing since you’re comparing the bottom end of the market in UTC to the upper end of the market on the SF Peninsula. Something comparable in square footage and amenities to a mid-range $300k condo in UTC might run around $450k on the Peninsula.
As far as schools I can’t comment but commute it really depends on where you work. There are plenty of tech jobs in San Jose close to Milpitas which would be similar to commuting to Sorrento Valley from MM.
