Where to live? New Grad working in Redwood City
Hey everyone! For context, I had a place picked out in East Bay, but then my future employer shifted me to another office due to a last minute restructure. I will now be working in Redwood City starting mid-September and need a place to live and would love some help narrowing the places to look. I am originally from the midwest so I have little knowledge of this area.
I am 23M, a software engineer, single, Vietnamese/Chinese, and from Minnesota. I don't mind a 30-45 minute commute, but shorter would be positive. I don't care for nightlife, but do enjoy meeting people my age, chill hangouts, etc. I would like to join a martial arts gym, stay active whether thats hiking, biking, golf, volleyball, etc. And walkability is a nice-to-have but I value that a lot.
If there are any recommendations based on your experience I'd love to hear about them! Was originally planning on driving down the end of next week.
Edit: Able to work hybrid, preferred to be in 4 days in office. Ideally my budget stays around 3500(?), can creep up towards 4000 if its a no-brainer.
