ParticipantI love it! My knowledge of the South Bay would fit in a thimble even though I have sold several properties there in the last couple years but you are the worlds expert on a place 500 miles away that you havent lived near in decades. AMAZIIIIING!

ParticipantAs far as I know, if you want an area that’s similar to RB/PQ/Poway, you need to look in west SF (Richmond or Sunset), or on the peninsula starting from Millbrae and further south. You’re looking somewhere around 750k for a basic 3-bedroom in west SF. The peninsula is more expensive.
East Oakland (Piedmont, Montclair) is good, almost everywhere along the 24 and the 680 is good, you get more house for the same money, but you pay with longer commute. People who live in East Bay and work in SF often commute on BART. You need to find out if it’s a viable option for you.

ParticipantVery good suggestions, Eugene, especially WRT the BART. One of my kids lived in Richmond (SF) for a couple of years and the (mostly refurbished) housing in that area is viable but it didn’t occur to me that a young family might like it. I didn’t mention the 24 going out to the 680 (very nice and mostly treed, BTW) because I felt it would not usually fit within the 45-min commute time frame requested by the OP, due to bridge and interchange congestion. The SM bridge is the lesser of the two evils, IMHO.
I agree that northern peninsula cities are more expensive but would be the best location for the OP’s business-park location. However, I have seen some minor cosmetic fixers and other fixers from the low $500K on up in there in recent months.
There is a major BART station in Hayward, with pkg available. It is on the Fremont to Daly City line.
