So where do you want to live?

The California Association of Realtor's (CAR) publishes these great infographics. This one is on where Millennials want to live. Take a quick look:

I don't think I am seeing anything here that I do not know about people in general; and that is people move to the suburbs so they can get more home for their money. People want to live in the suburbs. I think many people have also found that most everything they have in the city they can find in the suburbs. Sure the city might have a few things (Major League Baseball and others) that we do not have in the suburbs, but we often have less expensive alternatives (like minor league baseball) or can go to the city on the rare occasions they want these things.

I sold a woman a home here in Brentwood California who really enjoyed the musical and cultural opportunities in San Francisco. But she has found alternatives in Brentwood and other local suburban communities.

What you can find in Brentwood California and other suburbs you cannot find in San Francisco is quality affordable housing in nice neighborhoods, plenty of free parking, farmers markets, 13 miles of hiking and biking trails and 190 acres of parks (for a town of 50,000). But if you want to live in a shoe box, like crowds, and expensive and/or hard to find parking don't move to Brentwood California.

Even those of us on the go will spend most of our time and lives in our home.  Your home needs to be a place for you.  Brentwood California has Great Homes for you.
