I can see parents' concerns with Richmond, but Terra Linda?

I don't agree with this.
However, this is what MANY MANY MANY people are citing as their reasoning for moving up near me. It's all Bay Area people.
Hope it gets better someday.

Sacramento area. Foothills. Roseville, Loomis, Rocklin, Granite Bay. Folsom, El Dorado Hills
they are moving there because 800k gets you a huge home and not a condo. crime happens in all those cities listed.
That's true on prices.
But perception is reality. When you mention Richmond vs. Roseville, people generally have a perception. Ain't no one movin to Richmond. Maybe it changes someday?
What demographic? Families with school aged kids so the football program can field a team?
Yes I have 2 friends who have moved there with their families, one will be sending his kids to De Anza the other to Salesian both schools no issues with fielding teams and El Cerrito 3 miles away no problems fielding a team either…….Richmond high is mostly Latino and never had a culture of football americano allí pero tiene un bien equipo de fútbol……17-4-1 last year so I think their priority lies on the pitch not the football field
If anything that area is being gentrified. Not even close to what it was in 80’s-90’s. Same thing happened to East Palo Alto.
yes…Bay area land is valuable. I get that the city has traditionally had its issues but with the likes of Berkeley and El Cerrito right next door they weren’t going to keep skipping Richmond for too long.
And next up will be Vallejo.
That isn't making any dent in what is going on there. Small sample size.
Ain't no one moving to Richmond in mass. No way.
No chance. Look closely at where upper middle class families with school aged kids are moving.
It isn't Vallejo and Richmond lol
it’s typically as close to the money as they can afford to get. Yes, you can get a bigger chunk of land for less money in Sacramento but property is more affordable because jobs don’t pay. I know this because I’ve looked. I know this because my brother just bought in Folsom but the reason he did so was because his Bay Area based job allows him to work remotely 3 days a week now. The other two he is still having to commute to Santa Clara County.
that is because they cant afford richmond, or anything this side of the bridge. and people in richmond surely aint going to roseville. your friends you say moved for better housing. but if they are really from the bay they would much rather buy here.
dogg frm folsom all the way to santa clara???? man that is like a 4 hour mission each way!
Richmond is a very interesting place. I live three blocks from De Anza. But truth be told that is not Richmond. The real Richmond is on the other side of 80 and stretches to 580. Nobody is buying in numbers in those parts. Especially where Richmond High is located. Personally I don’t know much about why Galileo parents would be concerned. But parts on that side such as were Salesian is, is not even close to comparable to where Richmond or Kennedy High is. It’s night and day and in my area which is actually called El Sobrante, we have homes selling close to a million including those that are under the Richmond/De Anza zip code.
Not sure what planet you are on but the jobs pay amazing here. That is why people are moving here. The median income here is higher than most places in the Bay Area. That is a fact.
Wrong. Many of the new homes being built in Folsom are 800k plus. That is more than most places in Richmond, that are generally in AWFUL areas.
People aren't moving for better housing. They are moving for better AREAS, schools, etc..... This has been happening via mass migration from the Bay for a long time.
When do you ever hear anyone say- "hey I am moving to the Bay Area?". Never. You hear the opposite. People leaving. In mass. I see it every day here.
My friend is one of the biggest real estate agents in San Francisco. Until the interest rate hikes, him and his partner sell about 100 homes a year. They had one last year listed for 2.4, sold for 3.6, and 12 bids over 3.2. So not sure what your are speaking about. I am also a landlord. Tenants move out, always someone to replace them. Quit believing the media hype. A buddy of mine just came back from Texas. So yes people move into the Bay Area all the time. If they didn’t our homes would sit vacant or not sold for several months.
And the difference is many don’t have kids. And the ones that do are sending there kids to some high end schools, my company works for many of them. So yes it thins out the amount of kids since many of the schools are lucky to have even a basketball team.
BINGO!!!
That is my point. This is about the conversation and topic of HSFB as it relates to areas, families, etc......
No one is doubting that Joe Techie buys a house in Richmond, nor does anyone care.
The POINT is are the "Jones Family" with two high school stud athletes or athleteettes, moving to Richmond or MOST places in the bay to attend HS or play sports. Answer is largely- NOOOOO!
Agree with that. And many kids aren’t involved in athletics especially in San Francisco at a young age due to having nanny’s. Sports to some families just ain’t that important. My kid goes to a Catholic school with literally 3 boys in his class and a few in the 4th grade class. Sucks they won’t have a 3rd grade team, but I will take 15 kids in a class any day of the week versus 30 or more.
So with all that said, if you live within a 20-30 minute drive to Serra, great school to play football at with a great coach and staff. What will be interesting is Riordan may have a little say in that, freshman QB and a great coach. The next few years will be very interesting at Riordan. They may be a team to say watch out in the next 2 years.
To be fair there is no more job here you need to live here. The reason the foothills are flourishing is you can live here and work for a company in SJ anywhere else. The Future of Great hs football will Continue to get better in places like Folsom, rocklin , Elk Grove , granite bay, etc Population alone will always support a couple super powers like Serra and WCAL but overall that area is on downslide.
Nobody would choose to live in San Jose if you were concerned with schools, housing, and sports. I’m sorry but not only most expensive but least value for your money. Wait until all those commercial real estate leases in SF and Bay area expire. Next big bubble .
that is because more poor people live in the bay than do in roseville and folsom. government jobs in the bay def pay more. such as county and city jobs. then there are triple the tech jobs in the bay than in roseville. we get it, you love your place but people are not going there because they want to, they are cuz they want their life to be a little easier
wrong, but i dont hang with people with families. every high rise apt from san jose to the city is full. those run 3k a month at least. you are talking large families who want large lots of land. yes, they are moving away. but the 580-880-80-101- completely disagree with your 'everyone is moving away' theory. i really wish they would all leave so traffic wouldnt be bad
False.
In fact, Fed jobs enjoy THE SAME EXACT pay scale with cost of living adjustment in Sacramento, as SF does.
Just a fun little tid bit.
Quality of life up here vs. 99 percent of the bay is night and day.
it depends what you define as quality. i live in an elite neighborhood, in an elite environment, with endless prospects. i walk out the door into multiple options of a good time in less than 10 steps.
some cant partake in those activities because they would rather hang at a football stadium watching boys in tight pants. if thats your type of party so be it.
i have plenty of fun tid bits with some nice tids and bits here.
fed jobs are based on the same criteria. ALL OTHER GOV isnt.
LOL I'd love to know where this is....to compare. Let's see
And don't decline to say either, or we'll know your're full of BS. Fed jobs, state all pay the same in CA.
Local government varies but is not vastly different here than other areas in the Bay. Not even close to being that different.
It is a well known fact that quality of life in the Bay has deteriorited to the point where tens of thousands of families have left- all to seek better quality of life (schools, housing, job, recreation, etc....) You're behind
people leave because they cant afford it. if they could afford it they wouldnt leave. thats no argument. bay people are proud people. now granted the people you hang with look completely different from the ones i hang with so thats why our thoughts differ on quality of life. there is an abundance of recreation here, hence why all yall sac and valley people flood our streets every weekend.LOL I'd love to know where this is....to compare.

Richmond was a football power in the 60's until the mid 70's under Frank Milo, who later coached at El Cerrito
