I do not have a car and would not plan on getting one so I would want to be somewhere on BART because I am likely to work in San Fran or Oakland I would think so somewhere not too far out.

Thanks for the help so far I have only been to the bay area once, spent 2 days in Berkeley and one day driving around SF so I do not know much about the area.
TheMagnanimous Reviewed by TheMagnanimous on . Bay Area? Hello, I am an east-coaster looking to move to the Bay Area after I graduate college at the end of this year. I realize the entire area is expensive, but does anyone have recommendations about areas that are: 1. Good for young people 2. Not outrageously expensive (not downtown SF) 3. Communting distance from SF, like under an hour commute. Rating: 5
