Yeah, BART is pretty easy to access. I take it out to Oakland and SF all the time, and it's pretty quick, too. I can get from Walnut Creek station to Civic Center station in SF in like around 40 minutes or less.

Check up on craigslist.com and try to look for spots.
west coast style Reviewed by west coast style 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
