My husband's job is putting him at the SF Airport. I know that's in the bay area but are overwhelmed with where to look for housing. Suggestions are requested with the following:

5 children (1 middle schooler, 2 elem and 2 babies)

Housing Rent Budget $3750

Priorities: Schools and area

Considerations: Prefer a Suburb, DH doesn't mind a 30-35 min drive, prefer no bridge tolls.

Burlingame, Belmont, San Carlos ... most cities on the Peninsula.

For example: San Carlos-Expansive Bay/Peninsula Views

Many good choices along the peninsula. Millbrae, Burlingame & Belmont all have very good schools at all levels (elementary, middle & high school) and no "bad" area in which to live in. Foster City is very nice, very good schools but no high school (they bus to other San Mateo schools and also no bad areas. San Mateo has areas which are not quite as nice as others which you might want to avoid (as well as the schools in that area). San Carlos has very good schools (no high school) and no bad areas. Here is a school rating website with map for various cities School Ranking/Ratings Maps for each City/Region in California . Check out cragislist for rental housing prices in the various areas.
