To any members up in Marin or Sonoma counties...
Big news (for me at least), due to a change in employment, it looks like I will be relocating to the North Bay within the next few weeks. I am looking for advice regarding where to live (rent). My aim is to be able to commute to work daily in Santa Rosa, but still be within reach of San Francisco, where my girlfriend lives and works. Ultimately my girlfriend will be moving up as well so the location should hopefully have a tolerable commute both directions. I think this pretty much forces me to go with San Rafael or Novato, although Petaluma has a lot of charm and the cost of living seems to decrease quickly as you go north... Housing prices in Santa Rosa are about 1/3 what I am used to in the South Bay! I hear the soutbound 101 commute in the mornings is horrible, how bad is it? |

The San Rafael slow down is pretty bad going south, and the Santa Rosa slow down going north is even worse. But Petaluma would be a good compromise. Plus then you would shop at the Trader Joes where Allison works. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The city of Sonoma is really cool, but would mean a nice short easy commute for you and a longer one for Kylie (?). Sonoma to SF would probably be just under 1.5 hours on a clear day, where as Petaluma is about 30 minutes on a clear day. With traffic those numbers go up.
I would start your search in Novato or Petaluma and actually Napa, or Vallejo wouldn't be too bad of options. |
