"This place is a dump...."

If you want to live in a trashy run down neighborhood surrounded by spill over crimes from SF, drug users, cemeteries and ugly looking houses
this is the place to be. Good transit options and cheap housing is this area's only sell point.
Pros
  • Affordable Homes
  • Public Transportation
Cons
  • crime
  • surrounded by cemeteries
  • Poor Schools
  • Ugly and Run-Down

"Daly foggy............."

Daly City.... daily foggy. 94014 is beat up, run down and surrounded by cemeteries.. 94015 is close to the ocean, dense fog, landfill, and more cemeteries.
All the houses has similar floor plans and similar sized small lots. Low performing public schools. Virtually 0 night life. But close proximity to SF and good public transportation option make it an affordable place to live for those who can't afford to live in SF.
Pros
  • Affordable
  • Good Transportation Options
Cons
  • Crowded
  • Small Houses

"Great family oriented neighborhood!"

"For young families, Mornil Middle School and Robert Randall Elementary School are just blocks off the community’s limits while both Rancho Milpitas Middle School and John Sinnott Elementary School are within the neighborhood. All four schools earn lousy test scores against other cities within the San Jose area. Elsewhere, there are a couple non denomination churches within the district. These include St. Elizabeth Church and Christ Community Church."

Obviously this guy has no clue what he's talking about. Morrill Middle school belongs to San Jose. Robert Randall Elementary belongs to Milpitas, and yes it is the worst performing elementary in Milpitas. Well, even that the API score is still higher than some of the best elementary school in nearby San Jose 95133, 95131, 95127, 95116 zip code. Rancho Milpitas Middle school may not be the highest performing middle school in the bay area, but still has pretty solid api of 857. John Sinnott has lousy test scores?? 928 api is pretty awesome in every parent's book!

Did he compliment that San Jose has great schools? Well, the reality is San Jose has some of the worst test scores in the bay area.
Go get yourself educated with facts. http://www.mercurynews.com/california/ci_28782503/califs-test-scores-reveal-yawning-achievement-gap

Parktown area is pretty boring, but I don't necessarily consider it a bad thing. Who would want to raise their kids near clubs, bars, and casinos?
Pros
  • Close to Silicon Valley
  • A Welcoming Suburban Feel
  • Good Schools
Cons
  • Kind of Bland
  • No Nightlife
