Can 2500$ get me a decent 1 bed in RWC? Looking at options to move in between SJ and SF.

I was also thinking belmont but that commute to work(Milpitas) will be a long one, maybe mountain view?

Have family in Evergreen, and I go up to the city a lot so looking for a place right in between. Single 32M, I date mostly in SF as well so that's another reason.

Currently live in DTSJ.

Emergency by Caltrain station

Heard lots of sirens responding downtown while waiting for train around 6:50PM today. I could not see what was going on but I saw at least 2-3 Firetrucks and an ambulance near where Winslow becomes Middlefield(near Timber & Salt). I had to catch my train back and did not have time to walk over and see what was going on out of curiosity. From the response it seemed like a possible "severe medical emergency/violent death/hazmat/accident" level of response.

EDIT: it was at 6:50PM today.

run clubs around the area?

I (late 20s, M) was wondering if there are any run clubs around the Peninsula/ if there are people interested in running during weekday evenings? I'm a casual runner (4-6mi, ~7-9mins/mi). Hoping to meet more younger folks with some runs and/or end in a brewery-kinda vibes!

Internet & Cable Provider

Hey all. Wanted to switch internet providers for my elderly mother and need recommendations. We need the basic wifi to stream at most 4 devices and cable for simple tv (fox, USA, etc). Xfinity is charging us $250.14 which is their landline, wifi, and cable package but looking for something waaaay cheaper and no contract.

Any places in RWC that have drinks and a TV screen to watch election results trickling in after 3pm?

Any brushless car washes now?

Now that duckys took over veterans there's none I'm aware of. IIRC autopride sends it through a brush auto wash and overcharges for a crap job.

Did y'all get trick or treaters?

We only got one little guy at 830. I thought with all the decorations there would be a hundred kids. Was there something at red Morton that took the treaters?

Any parents with recent experience at Henry Ford for Kindergarten+ (or any other RCSD) school?

Our oldest is going into Kinder next year. We're relatively new to town and don't know many families who are at any of the RCSD schools. Would love to hear any experiences/opinions! We're zoned for Henry Ford so I'm particularly curious there.

Moving to Redwood City for Tech Job – Neighborhood Recommendations

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m a 26y/o guy moving from the South to California(Cupertino) soon to start a new job in tech, and I’m trying to figure out the best neighborhood to live in. Checked with some other subredds, and Redwood City seems like a decent fit based on what I’m looking for in a community and lifestyle, but I’d love some local insight.

About Me

• Demographics: 26M, single, and working in tech

• Interests: art classes (painting & ceramics), piano lessons, movie theaters, creative writing/reading, soccer, church, parks and volunteering

Question

Would Redwood City be a good fit for someone like me? Are there other neighborhoods or nearby cities I should consider? I’ll be looking to rent an apartment and would love any recommendations on places with a strong sense of community, where it’s easy to meet people and dive into activities like mine. Thanks!

Redwood City Recommendations (Dry Cleaner, Dentist etc.)

Everyone was so helpful on the grocery store post I had a couple weeks ago that I figured I would come back to the well.

Looking for suggestions on a great dry cleaner, dentist, Hair Salon/Barber Shop (ideally one that does men's beard trims and haircuts).

Thank you all in advance.

Reporting dangerous animals

My dog and I narrowly avoided a serious attack from a large white Alsatian this morning. The animal was not muzzled and the owner had almost no control over it, if it had got any closer my dog would have been killed.

Is there an appropriate way to report potentially dangerous dogs?

I’d also like to know if it is legal to carry and use Sabre dog repellant in an emergency here?

Property Tax in RWC

Anyone else feel like their property tax is insanely high despite not being able to increase more than 2% every year?

I paid 12k for my home property tax in 2012.

It’s now close to 20k. That’s a lot of income paying for tax for me.

And it’s just your standard American suburban house not a mansion.

Anyone else feel this way? I vote against every measure that increases taxes and it just keeps going up.

Roadwork on Marshall St - details?

Anyone know details of the roadwork project on and adjacent to Marshall St, across from the temporary dog park at Marshall/Spring? Wondering how long it's going to go. Couldn't find anything online - everything seems to redirect to the planned development project at 910 Marshall.

Lower cost spay?

The quote we just got was $1700... That seems so high! Are there any other options?

I'm thinking like $700-$1000

Any trenchless plumbing company recommendations?

I have a buried sewer line that needs to be replaced but I don't want to cut into the concrete. I can't seem to find a company that will provide the trenchless sewer service in the area.

Anyone had experience with this trenchless sewer line work? Do you have a company you can refer?

Isabella Chu Vs. Lissette Espinoza-Garnica for City Council

What are Isabella's positions?

Lissette seems to be pretty far left and seems to create strain in the local community.

Grocery Stores in Redwood City Area

Moving to Redwood City later this month and I'm sad to be losing Oliver's (up in Sonoma County) and looking for what is the closest to that in the Redwood City area.

I see that there is a Mollie Stone's and a Whole Food's, but kind of hoping for something with better produce selections than those offer.
