My husband may be doing a residency at UCSF and we have an 8 year old and 11 year old. Where is an affordable place we can live with good schools the closest to UCSF? Is it Mill Valley?

Thank you all...

that depends on your definition of "close" to UCSF. Mill Valley is about 30 (45 to an hour in traffic ) and across the Golden Gate bridge. It is a FAB city, but that depends on how "close" you want to be to UCSF. AND your definition of afforadable. Housing is pretty pricey out there.

Budget?
Size expectations?
Max commute?

Default more details - UCSF family

Google maps says houses at the south end of Mill Valley are 19 min from UCSF, 25 in traffic. That's about the limit we can go, I think. 500-800K would be doable for us, or an equivalent rent.

An alternative for his residency is Stanford, but in Palo Alto we'd end up in Stanford-subsidized housing, so there's no deciding to be done in that case. Schools great, I gather.

The trouble is that we don't have a lot of control over where he gets sent, so if he matches in SF, we have to find a place that works. If Mill Valley doesn't work, is there somewhere that does fit?

Thank you all for your help and interest

Honestly I think Mill Valley will be pushing your budget, at least if youd rather stay toward the end of it. and it is NOT 25 mins in traffic. Trust me. You can actually perhaps find a place in the Sunset district in the city. Not quite sure how the prices are doing out here right now though, as I rent.
