My office is in Menlo Park - what’s the best place to live in the area? Not sure how Redwood vs Menlo vs Palo Alto vs Mountain View vs San Mateo compare and where most people tend to live. Would prefer an area with good food nearby. Specific apartments recommendations are helpful too!
Also does it make more sense to Uber to work or buy a car? Parking spots seem very expensive in the Bay Area

Palo Alto is a great place to live in - tons of amazing restaurants on University Avenue, good nightlife
Fuck outta here.
wut
just live in the city and make the commute like everyone else, anywhere in the peninsula or east bay is social suicide
Is this real? Is the commute actually manageable? I can’t imagine making that drive home at 2am when all I want to do is crash on my bed
I know all those areas well, depends on what you looking for after work. Most of these places are nice, Mountainview full of Google people, redwood shores better than Redwood full of Oracle people. Palo alto full of Stanford people. San Mateo closer to the San Carlos area about right, burlingame too cold.
Which would you recommend? Not sure whether full of Google/Oracle/Stanford people is good or bad
San Carlos, San Ramon, redwood shores.
All those areas are fairly unengaging for a younger person to live. If you can, you should buy a car and pick a place to live that gives you a reverse commute to work (if there is one). I used to do the reverse commute from oakland to walnut creek and it was glorious.
None of them
So, what do you suggest, help out.
