@edgarblythe,
What we concerned ourselves with when choosing a city to call home, we wanted to make sure that the schools were considered some of the best. When we bought here in the mid-1970's, it was a quiet growing city between San Francisco and San Jose, transforming from farming country, mostly cherry farms, to become the suburbs for the two major cities. Our home was built in 1955, but we've done major renovation on this home from top to bottom. We replaced all the window and doors, and most of the flooring. We live close to highway 101 and 280, so we have a choice in traveling north or south. Our children grew up here, and they have done well through college. *will continue later.
