While most neighborhoods in the Bay Area — namely places like Atherton, Palo Alto, and Ross — are not known for easily purchased and low-priced homes, there are plenty of cities in the Bay Area that are perfect places to take the homeowner plunge. 

Per Curbed, Trulia recently studied the top 100 metro cities in its system and compiled a list of the neighborhoods with the most value. By evaluating metro listing prices, school information, crime rates, commutes, and neighborhood amenities, Trulia established America’s best value neighborhoods of 2017. 

At the bottom of the Bay Area Top 10 were Farm Hill in Redwood City and Sugarloaf in San Mateo. Both neighborhoods had a low restaurant score and affordability score and a median home value above $1.5 million.

The city of Burlingame holds three spots on the list (two of which are tied at 6th place). From the city’s lowest-ranking neighborhood to the highest-ranking (Burlingame Terrace, Burlingame Village, and Lyon Hoag) found their way on the list due to high crime scores and commute scores.

The top four neighborhoods on the list are all located in Redwood City.

Number four goes to Woodside Plaza due to its all-around high scores and relatively low median home value of $1.3 million. The third-best neighborhood is Redwood Oaks while the second best neighborhood is Roosevelt. Last but not least, the best Bay Area neighborhood to buy a starter home is Palm Park. This Redwood City enclave had an extremely low median home value at just under $1.1 million.

Numbers one, two, and three all share the same commute score, a perfect 10, and have great school and crime scores. The significant difference is affordability and median home value.
