My husband and I are looking at a possible move to San Jose from Honolulu. Looks like real estate is about the same, general cost of living about 10% cheaper.

We currently live in a nice upper middle class area, on a marina, with nice restaurants and some shopping. We pay about $3200/housing. We are both professionals and children may (or may not) be in our future.

The job is in Sunnyvale.

I'm looking for neighborhood recommendations within that housing allowance relatively close to shopping, dining and decent schools.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Check out Downtown San Jose and Santana Row. Both are cool places to be.

With an allowance like that, you would do well to look at Mountain View, Palo Alto, Saratoga, and Los Altos. Very nice places.

Maybe not quite on the beach in Hawaii nice, but quite nice nonetheless.
