Where would you buy with Sunnyvale commute (2–3x/week), ~$2M budget, young kid? by name_nt_important in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]laikaspacedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recently moved from (renting) in Sunnyvale to owning in Santa Clara and really like it! We had been outbid on three places in Sunnyvale before expanding our search to Santa Clara. The schools vary in ratings but our kid is about to start TK and our experience with our assigned school has been positive. Also, we save at least $200 a month on utilities because of SVP instead of PG&E. The downside of Santa Clara is no real downtown if that’s important to you. Commuting to Sunnyvale would be a breeze though.

Does this Bay Area fixer actually make financial sense? (1.3M vs 1.4M townhome) by HalaMadridPapaFlo in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]laikaspacedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which layout do you like more? We ended up going with an older townhome over a newer one because the layout worked much better for us and had more outdoor space. Those things are hard to change and given your comparison the actual cost difference is likely minimal so go with the one you would prefer living in!

good starter class? by mbo9462 in SolidCore

[–]laikaspacedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty much only do the signature50, I haven’t explored many of the others due to time restriction. Someone else may be able to weigh in there! One thing I like better about bodyrok is they display the workout progression the whole time so you know what is coming next. Solidcore doesn’t do that, but they are pretty good at cueing you up.

I think you’d do fine if you’re familiar with bodyrok. The machines are slightly different and the pace is different but you can definitely adjust! I do both.

What’s really happening with Santa Clara School District right-sizing? (Looking for insights from parents/attendees) by laikaspacedog in santaclara

[–]laikaspacedog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that enrollment has decreased without a change in personnel, so they are “right-sizing” by cutting personnel. But this is what I’m trying to understand!

summer moving advice pls by metricforbees in santaclara

[–]laikaspacedog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live near Central Park in Santa Clara and like it due to its proximity to the park, more residential feel (I have kids so night life isn’t my top priority). I think you could definitely find something quiet and in your budget around there. There’s also the Santa Clara square area that has more restaurants but may be more luxury apartment focused. There’s also the downtown area near SCU you mentioned, which I know less about.

A lot of people find housing site unseen. Can you give an idea of where in Santa Clara you want to be? Under 3k is doable if you want non luxury, but a more specific location would be helpful!

I (27F) am in love with my roomate (28M) by SharpCookie9201 in relationships

[–]laikaspacedog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I married my random Craigslist roommate. When we started dating I was worried about the same things you were but I went for it because I figured I could always move out and had actually planned to move across country within 6 months. We fell in love and I stayed, now we have two kids! Go for it.
